Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt debate whether Antonio Conte would be the right manager to shake up Manchester United, despite his volatile nature and short term appeal
Paul Scholes🎙️: Antonio Conte is a mile ahead of all of them. You think Juventus, he went to Napoli and Napoli was going and wins the league with them. Look, he's volatile, I know I know he's volatile, and he he might be a bit of a madman, but when you talk about successful managers at top clubs, he's streets ahead. I think it will get us back to where we need to be, but I think it's short term
Nicky Butt🎙️: So, employment? It's short term, but...
Paul Scholes🎙️: I don't care if it's short term. I think he'd be there 18 months and gone
Nicky Butt🎙️: The Man United is not set up to deal with a manager like that, right?
Paul Scholes🎙️: I don't care if he's there for 18 months and he does get us to challenge for the league.
Nicky Butt🎙️: I don't think the club are ready for a manager like that. The people at the top, I don't think will accept a manager like that, I don't think they want a manager like that
Paul Scholes🎙️: Nicky, I feel like totally the opposite.
Nicky🎙️: I'm not saying that's how I feel, I mean that's how they feel. If I'm thinking what they are looking at, they want a nice easy ride
Scholes🎙️: Which is what Michael is.
Nicky🎙️: But that's what they're going to go for.
Scholes🎙️ : They need someone to come and shake the club up. Antonio Conte will shake the club up massively. Players' side, business side, managing upwards, whatever it is, he will shake the full place up, Nick.
