Conte speaks out on links to MU to DENY his demanding full control of transfers to replace Carrick

Antonio Conte insists any negotiations to manage Manchester United are not at an advanced stage - but denies he is making off-putting demands of them or any other clubs as he ponders a return to football.

“My name has been linked with numerous clubs, but there are currently no negotiations at an advanced stage.

Following a wonderful and successful spell in charge of Napoli, I will take the time I need to consider how and when to return to management. It will be a carefully considered decision, one I will make when I believe the conditions are right.

I have read reports of financial demands and requests for full control that I have supposedly already made to the clubs mentioned, as well as reservations about what has been described as my “strong personality”. These reports are unfounded, as there is currently no concrete basis for such assessments.

Should a concrete opportunity arise, that will be the time to hold discussions with the club concerned and jointly consider the terms of a potential agreement, with due regard for both parties’ needs and the qualities and approach that define my work as a manager.

Until then, any assumptions about my demands and my professional future remain speculation and cannot be treated as fact”.
