Antonio Conte is still the strongest candidate to become Manchester United coach to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. If Manchester United loses from Liverpool in the ninth week of the 2021-2022 Premier League on Sunday, October 24, 2021, Solskjaer has the potential to be sacked from the Manchester United coaching chair.
Because, if Manchester United failed to win against Liverpool, it would be the fourth successive Red Devils failed to gain three points in the 2021-2022 Premier League. In the previous three 2021-2022 Premier League matches, Manchester United had never won.
In succession, Manchester United lost 0-1 to Aston Villa, were held by Everton 1-1 and beaten by Leicester City 2-4. As a result, Manchester United is currently scattered in the competition for the 2021-2022 Premier League title.
Until the eighth week, Manchester United was in fifth position with 14 points. Manchester United are five points adrift of Chelsea at the top of the table. Therefore, for the sake of the rescue mission, the name of Antonio Conte has reportedly been prepared by the management of Manchester United.
According to The Sun’s report, if elected as Manchester United coach, Antonio Conte will bring two of his former Inter Milan squad, Lautaro Martinez and Milan Skriniar to Old Trafford Stadium. Their presence is to complete Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 pattern.
So, who are the players that Antonio Conte relies on? For the goalkeeper entrusted to David de Gea.
Then, the three parallel defenders filled Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Milan Skriniar. For the wing back position, there are Luke Shaw (left) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (right).
For the three central midfielders, there is a trio of Fred, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lautaro Martinez made collaborations on the Red Devils’ front lines.
So, will this pattern ever come true? The entry or absence of Antonio Conte in the near future, is predicted to depend on the result of the Manchester United vs Liverpool match.
Here’s the prediction for Manchester United’s line-up under Antonio Conte:
(3-5-2): De Gea; Maguire, Varane, Skriniar; Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Pogba, Bruno Fernandes; Cristiano Ronaldo, Lautaro Martinez.
