๐ What happened
๐ฅ In a video message to the Festival dello Sport in Trento, Conte said he was still enjoying his holiday, as this year he had the chance to rest and relax. The remarks poured cold water on talk linking him with Manchester United.
๐ซ According to GOAL, citing The Athletic, Conte said that in England today clubs are using bazookas while elsewhere they are still using a pistol. He stressed, though, that spending wisely matters more than simply having money.
๐ He also made clear he only wants clubs with a winning tradition and genuine ambition. Conte has been out of work since leaving Napoli in the summer.
๐ United have made their joint-worst Premier League start under Carrick and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton, yet the club's hierarchy still backs him.
๐ By the numbers
โข Conte's last club: Napoli (left this summer)
โข United's next league game: Tottenham (H), 10 October
๐ญ Why it matters
Conte was one of the names most often mentioned should United consider a change. His signal that he will sit out for now narrows the field and makes it more likely Carrick stays in charge for the time being.
For Carrick, the visit of Tottenham to Old Trafford on 10 October is a big chance to change the mood.
