What happened. Reports in Italy indicate that Antonio Conte is the favourite to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager if INEOS decide to make a change. Conte has been a free agent since terminating his Napoli contract by mutual consent in the summer.

• Conte won Serie A and the Supercoppa Italiana in two seasons at Napoli.
• He previously managed Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League.
• United have started the season with two wins, two draws and three defeats.

Conte is also linked with Juventus and Milan, but recent results under Spalletti and Amorim may have eased pressure at those clubs.
