Super agent representing PL-winning manager in talks over United job – report

Antonio Conte remains on Manchester United's shortlist to take over as head coach, according to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna. Super-agent Pini Zahavi is reportedly representing the 57-year-old Italian in discussions with the club. United's leadership, including Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, has reportedly decided to replace current manager Michael Carrick following a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa and is awaiting approval from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

While Conte is a candidate, reports in England suggest Mauricio Pochettino is the frontrunner for the position, with the Glazer family favoring his appointment. United hierarchy figures have previously held doubts regarding Conte's volatile management style, though writer Vishal Singh argues that INEOS should consider the former Chelsea and Tottenham manager to reshape the team's culture.
