Michael Carrick under pressure, Manchester United considering Antonio Conte

Michael Carrick’s situation is becoming increasingly precarious at Manchester United after a disappointing start to the season in the Premier League. The club’s management is reportedly already exploring alternative solutions, with Antonio Conte among the options being considered.

The Red Devils have collected just six points from the first six matchdays, recording their worst league start since the 1986-87 season.

Conte contacted to replace Carrick

According to “Foot Mercato”, which cites information from “TuttoMercatoWeb”, Manchester United have reportedly contacted Antonio Conte ahead of a potential managerial change.

This option has emerged as pressure mounts on Michael Carrick following the 1-1 draw against Tottenham, despite an opposing player being sent off.

Despite the disappointing results, the English manager has shown his determination to turn the situation around. He believes that difficult periods make it possible to measure the commitment of the players and the club’s various components to the long-term project.

Carrick acknowledged that expectations were higher while affirming his desire to take on this challenge and put the team back on the right track.

The Red Devils must now face Atlético de Madrid tonight on the second matchday of the league phase of the 2026-27 Champions League.
