Former Manchester United defender Ashley Young has warned his old club that appointing Antonio Conte as head coach is a recipe for disaster. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that employing the Italian coach could be a catastrophic mistake for the current squad, Young stated that the intense tactician is entirely the wrong fit for the MUFC dressing room.
Ashley added that the squad should also expect to face brutal post-match analysis whenever results do not go their way.
His words, “I’ve worked underneath him at Inter. He’s crazy by the way, crazy. A lot of talk has been about Man United’s running stats.
If they’re not going to run and Antonio Conte goes in there, it’s going to be a disaster I think.
There was a lot that he’d done, the training sessions were a lot of 11 vs 11, at times a little bit boring.
Meetings were long. When I say long, I’m talking: If we lost a game, we could go in for the meeting and he’d stop literally everything. And you could be in there for three or four hours. It was like ‘come on now, let’s be serious’.
I think that’s one of the reasons why he doesn’t last long at places because it’s not just the players he tries to test mentally, but the board as well, and the owners. I think that people get annoyed with him and think ‘it’s time for you to go’.”
