Former Inter defender Ashley Young has warned that appointing Antonio Conte as head coach of Manchester United could be a \u2018disaster\u2019 waiting to happen, especially if the United squad are not willing to put in the hard yards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young: \u2018It\u2019s going to be a disaster\u2019 if United appoint Conte<\/p>\n

Rumours continue to circulate regarding the head coach position at Old Trafford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reports in the UK suggest that Michael Carrick is on the verge of being dismissed after a miserable week that has brought a 4-1 defeat against Como<\/a> in the Champions League and a 3-0 loss at home against AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League, on top of the fact that a number of senior squad members have publicly criticised the club and their decision making over the last few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conte has been tipped as a potential replacement should Carrick be given the boot, along with the likes of Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Unai Emery and Fabian Hurzeler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conte is still proving to be a divisive figure in the Premier League<\/a>. Despite his winning track record, there are concerns for some that he is not the right fit for United in their current circumstances, which former Inter and United defender Young agrees with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young won the 2020-21 Serie A title playing under Conte at Inter, but feels that his methods might not be what the United squad need in this moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked underneath him at Inter. He\u2019s crazy by the way, crazy,\u201d said Young on a recent appearance on the Overlap Daily<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a bit like Diego Simeone on the sidelines, like, you hear him non-stop. Training is intense, there\u2019s a lot of running.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot that he\u2019d 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\u2019m talking: If we lost a game, we could go in for the meeting and he\u2019d stop literally everything. And you could be in there for three or four hours. It was like \u2018come on now, let\u2019s be serious\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s one of the reasons why he doesn\u2019t last long at places because it\u2019s 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 \u2018it\u2019s time for you to go\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of talk has been about Man United\u2019s running stats. If they\u2019re not going to run and Antonio Conte goes in there, it\u2019s going to be a disaster I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
