United’s board is still debating Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future, according to Romano, who witnessed the Red Devils get hammered 5-0 by Liverpool yesterday.
The first step must be the (Manchester United) board’s final decision on Solskjaer. Internal discussions about how to handle the situation are still ongoing.
Antonio Conte said today that he would be willing to speak with Manchester United about the idea, although no official contact has yet been made.
“It’s important to be clear about Antonio Conte. He’s never been a fan of joining clubs in the middle of the season because it’s not his style – the only club that could persuade Antonio to change his mind right now is Manchester United.
Official conversations have yet to take place. Romano wrote, “It depends on Solskjr’s situation – an issue of respect.”
