Young warns Conte would be disaster

Former Manchester United captain Ashley Young warned the club that hiring Antonio Conte to replace Michael Carrick would be a disaster.

“He is crazy”

Conte's management style

Conte is intense and demanding, which brings success but doesn't last, having held 10 positions in 20 years as a manager.

Conte's coaching approach

Conte's coaching mantras include getting players to 'eat grass' metaphorically by covering more ground in matches.

Carrick's current situation

Carrick is thought to retain support despite Manchester United's second-worst Champions League-era defeat and a seven-match winless slump.

Carrick's post-match reaction

Carrick apologized to fans after the loss, prioritizing their engagement over player interaction and criticizing their effort.

“If you don’t run and you don’t run forward and you don’t run back, you ain’t going to win”

Conte's physical demands

Conte requires intense training with heavy running, long meetings, and mental testing that players find frustrating.

Young's concerns

Young questions whether United's players, accused of lacking physical capacity, would thrive under Conte's style.

Young's conclusion

Young concluded that if United's players don't run, hiring Conte would be a disaster.

“A lot has been talked about man utd's running stats. If they’re not going to run and antonio conte goes in there, it’s going to be a disaster”
