Antonio Conte tells Man United he’s ready if Carrick is sacked

Antonio Conte has reportedly told Manchester United bosses he would be ready to take over if they decide to remove Michael Carrick. The Daily Mirror brings the claim in its latest Paper Talk.

The same round-up also flags multiple other United angles. The Sun says Lisandro Martínez is hesitant about extending his contract after a public outburst tied to the club’s ambition, while the Daily Mail highlights Roy Keane’s criticism that dressing-room leaders are too focused on podcasts rather than enforcing discipline. Meanwhile, Ander Herrera urges critics to stop targeting Bruno Fernandes and show the captain more respect.
