It is understood that Antonio Conte’s demands both on a personal and sporting level have raised doubts about his appointments. The Italian is assumed to demand a contract until 2025 worth an estimated £18m-a-season. In addition, the 52-year-old wants to bring his own backroom staff and sign new players in the coming transfer windows to suit his system.

These high demands has forced the Manchester United hierarchy to evaluate their decision of appointing Antonio Conte at this moment. It is understood that the Premier League outfit hasn’t ruled out the Italian completely but he is no longer the first choice option which could mean extended time for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester United have had a poor run of results in recent times as despite comeback wins in Europe, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tem have been on the end of overwhelming defeats in the Premier League, losing heavily against Leicester City and arch-rivals Liverpool. The Red Devils are ninth in the table, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
