Antonio Conte is being lined up for a possible return to the Premier League as a replacement for Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, Sky Sports reported in its paper-talk coverage. The supplied material does not confirm negotiations, an offer or a decision by the club.

Antonio Conte is being lined up for a possible return to the Premier League as a replacement for Michael Carrick at Manchester United, Sky Sports reported in its paper-talk coverage. The report presents Conte as a potential managerial candidate rather than confirming that an appointment has been made. The supplied material does not say whether Manchester United has contacted Conte or opened formal negotiations.

It also gives no information about Carrick’s position, the club’s reasons for considering a change or Conte’s response. No contract terms, timetable or alternative candidates are provided. Conte’s reported link with the job would represent a possible return to English football, but the available material does not establish that such a move will happen.

The claim is attributed to the paper-talk report.
