Manchester United decided against an approach for Premier League winner Antonio Conte after deciding his style of precise and exact micro-coaching would not be suited to the players at Old Trafford.
Conte – who won the title with Chelsea in 2017 – was out of work at the start of the winter as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer struggled at United. The 52-year-old eventually joined Tottenham in November.
United sacked Solskjaer soon after and replaced him with interim coach Ralf Rangnick but it is understood that the club’s football department took a long look at Conte before deciding not to make a move.
