Ashley Young raises concerns over Antonio Conte taking charge at Manchester United

Published on: 20 October 2026

Former Manchester United player Ashley Young believes appointing Antonio Conte as the club’s manager could end in disaster.

Young worked under Conte at Inter, where they won Serie A in the 2020-21 season. His comments are based on that experience of working with the Italian coach.

Conte has been without a club since leaving Napoli at the end of last season. During his two years in charge, he led Napoli to the Italian championship and the Italian Super Cup.

The 56-year-old has also guided Chelsea, Juventus and Inter to league titles during his managerial career.
