I wouldn't want Conte at United

Because i think he could make them a problem again, it would probably be a short term problem, but a problem nevertheless.

Unlike Jose in 15/16, our miserable title defense under Antonio wasn't down to him declining as a manager, it was down to him acting like an idiot because he didn't get his own way. He always goes into jobs fully focused (it's when he's achieved his objectives he starts acting up) and if United get a fully motivated Conte it will be a problem.

I wasn't really bothered about Jose and Matic going there because the former wasn't what he was circa 12-14 let alone the 00's and the latter isn't that good, but i wouldn't be as relaxed if Conte followed in their footsteps.

Hmm. Maybe one. Bailly would be the Rudiger type player, Lindelof potentially could be the Azpl player, could do with a Luiz/Christensen.

We’d need a whole new back five. We don’t have any ball playing cb’s.

You have two England international CBs + another two that Mourinho himself bought!

Mourinho obviously wasn't interested about them being ball playing then!

Rudiger is a much better passer than Bailly. Lindelof is shiiiiit. And all our defenders look dodgy in that system. We need to fix the back four even now in a back four. Needs even more work for a back five. I do think Conte would do a good job, however. He’s a very good cosch. I just hope we don’t go down that route with him. Tired of watching defensive football.

Lindelof was supposed to be a ball playing cb, but he looks scared of his own shadow so haven’t seen much of it, Brummie.

If only you'd come to us for advice three seasons ago Darren, we could have saved you all this Jose heart ache!

Alexis, on form Conte sides do play good football, the only issue is he heavily relies on his wingbacks, if they are off form things collapse.

Our 13 match winning run was the 2nd best football we played in the Roman era behind the last two months of the double season, although that said i would have two of Jose's sides in at 3 and 4.

I didn’t want him to begin with.

I don’t enjoy the football Conte’s teams play. It’s defensive. He’s had players that are enjoyable but that’s not the same.

Our attackers also need a manager that with good attacking instruction and coaching and Conte’s not great at that. He’s Mourinho when Mourinho was good. Not what I want to see. Even it he’d get good results.

Would you be happy with Zidane then?

I personally think he did a stellar job at Real, really surprised me how tactically in tune he was with his players. And he's very forward thinking, plays really aggressive football. It's a weird analogy, but he sort of reminds me of a better version of RDM in the quarter season he had before we replaced him with Benitez.

I hope that Jose stays as Man U manager for the time being.

I think Zidane would bomb at United. I think it was the perfect storm at Madrid. But I’d rather him than Mourinho.
