I think:Just for fun, wondering how we'd play if he took over. Given he loves a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, and these were his common lineups at Chelsea and Inter:
Courtois
Azpi Luiz Cahill
Moses Kante Matic Alonso
Pedro Costa Hazard
Handanovic
Skriniar De Vrij Bastoni
Brozovic
Hakimi Barella Eriksen/Vidal Perisic
Lukaku Lautoro
So given that, I'd guess:
De Gea
Lindelof Varane Maguire
AWB Matic/McTom Fred/Pogba Shaw
Bruno/Sancho
Ronaldo/Cavani Rashford/Mason
Least likeable manager in football.
I'll take Giggs before I am happy about Conte taking the helm.
Yeah equating Conte who worst offence is probably bad defensive football to Giggs who abuse women, that's not remotely the sameThat's the point. I can't stand Conte. And I definitely can't stand Giggs. I've disliked Conte for years, this isn't some new novelty.

I suspect Bissaka would be the biggest casualty of Conte taking over, as he'd adopt the wingback system and Bissaka is simply not efficient enough in attack to make it work. New RB/RWB in January would probably be the priority along with a new midfielder or two.
That said, our squad isn't really suited to 3-5-2 as we simply have too many (and good) wingers.
Conte doesn't even play bad defensive football though.Yeah equating Conte who worst offence is probably bad defensive football to Giggs who abuse women, that's not remotely the same
You not liking him makes him almost a guaranteed success no?
How immature can you be?
It's the annoying cnut that becomes endearing if it's on your own team. You'd be fine if he came.Personality types. They're both insufferable personality types. I know you understood that.
You’re trolling saying you’d prefer Giggs over Conte.
Same as you’ve trolled Utd fans by posting pics of Ole smiling in debates about his utter failure as a manager.
You deserve to be called out on it.
Ten Hag, Conte, Zidane would be my order. If Ten Hag can't come in now, hire Conte for 18 months and see where it takes.
AWB will be the first causality with any new manager. Do you think Zidane or Ten Hag would prefer him ? Name one major club who has a worse right back than us.
He doesn't take prisoners and I prefer that as a manager to that feelgood shit show lately

Ten Hag is a Dutch manager with his focus on ball retention and quick passing (aka Pep, Cruyff). I have no idea how he will survive . Zidane might stick with himHe'd have a bigger chance under Zidane or Ten Haag than under Conte, that's for sure.
Still, I was not trying to sound concerned about Bissaka's playing time in my previous post. He deserves to be benched in any system as he's a bang average footballer.
I don't like either people as a person.
I haven't really been trolling have I? I posted a photo in a Ole discussion forum. Of course some people get triggered by that but that's their problem surely?
You didn't call me out on anything, you told me to feck off.
He plays 343 too. None of our players are actually wingers. They are wide forwards, suitable for a 3 man attack.I suspect Bissaka would be the biggest casualty of Conte taking over, as he'd adopt the wingback system and Bissaka is simply not efficient enough in attack to make it work.

Do you not think Contes very personality and nature would change everything in terms of dynamics? Even though I think we've got a good team, does it fit with how Conte would like to play? I'm not sure it does. I'm just not convinced he's the right man for right now even though I really rate him as a manager.So why would Conte change that if it's so good ?

We lack one right back who can attack to play 4 man defence. But that's a glaring weakness for any new manager. Any modern Manager will look to sign a right back, as soon as they take over.
The amount of arrogance to say that we would not take Conte is mind-boggling. He's a world-class, proven manager who rebuilt Juventus.
He would be a god send. The "United" way is out-dated.

People who would say "No" to Conte at this point in time probably need to understand football better.
He's not the perfect manager, he won't stay here for more than two or three years (maximum), but he's probably the best fit among the "available" managers at this point in time.
The same approach has worked just fine for Chelsea.Going from LvG to Mourinho to Ole to Conte, is just the kind of thing why Man Utd have looked clueless for years. We cant swing between different types of coaches again and again.
I'd rather have Zidane in(similar to Ole, but better in everyway), or Ten Haag although I feel like he is the new Nagelsman/Rose(hipster manager).
Zidane did a fantastic job at keeping the engine ticking over at Real. That club was already a finely tuned Ferrari, and in his hands he managed to keep it on track.Going from LvG to Mourinho to Ole to Conte, is just the kind of thing why Man Utd have looked clueless for years.

I would rather wait until next summer and sign Pochettino.Pochettino would be my 1st choice….The job he did at Tottenham was absolutely stupendous….Let’s get him next summer rather than doing something knee jerk right now….People who would say "No" to Conte at this point in time probably need to understand football better.

But United is more like a kit car whose engine is stalling. The parts are all there, but none of it works as a whole. Is he capable of getting his hands dirty to fix it? I don't think there's any evidence to suggest that he has the necessary tools.
