Antonio Conte breaks silence over Man Utd link

Antonio Conte insists he will only join a club when ‘the conditions are right’ after being linked with a move to Manchester United.

Conte, who is available after leaving Napoli in June, is one of the names on United’s radar with Michael Carrick’s position under threat.

United have opted to keep Carrick in charge for Sunday’s Premier League game against Bournemouth following the team’s 4-1 defeat away to Como in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

But a heavy loss for United this weekend could signal the end of Carrick’s time in charge at Old Trafford.

Reports in Italy this week have claimed that United have already held talks with Conte as a potential replacement for Carrick.

However, in a statement released on Friday afternoon, Conte has denied suggestions that he has demanded to be involved in United’s transfer strategy if he were to take the job.
