Former United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes Conte, the bookmaker’s favorite for the job, could “deal” with replacing his attacking coach Solskjaer.
said the Bulgarian Betfair: “The latest reports indicate that Conte is open to taking on the United job if it becomes available.
“He made a champion for Inter and he made a champion for Chelsea. Conte has the record and the reputation for hard work, I’ve heard that a lot.
“He went to England and did that, winning the Premier League.
“It’s the name everyone is talking about right now and some people would probably say United need that disciplinary approach, to tell them exactly what the manager expects of you, if they don’t, then adjust the bench. Maybe they need that from time to time?
“Louis van Gaal was similar to Conte in this way, discipline is the number one priority, but he was also successful and won the FA Cup.
“Conte has all the results and the reputation behind him for knowing how to handle things at a big club in England. He’s probably number one on their list.”
