Manchester United considers Antonio Conte if Carrick's results do not improve

Summary

Michael Carrick's tenure at Manchester United faces scrutiny following a poor start to the 2026-27 Premier League season, where the team has recorded only one win in four matches. Despite a strong squad, Carrick's management has raised doubts about his tactical decisions. Reports indicate that INEOS is evaluating the coaching situation, with Italian manager Antonio Conte reportedly at the top of the shortlist to replace Carrick, should the team's form not improve. The prospect of Conte suggests a shift toward seeking immediate success rather than a longer-term project.
