Antonio Conte is stupid. Michael Carrick will stay in Manchester United to fix the problems. Michael will soon overcome his tough time in MU

Man U has been unrecognizable since Ole left. He benched CR7 one match (against Leicester), and between him, and Sir Alex Ferguson, it was all downhill since. Man U hasn’t recovered since, somewhat like Juventus, who went from back to back Scudettos for years.
