Conte wants Man Utd job
Antonio Conte is stalling on succeeding Julen Lopetegui because he would relish the chance to replace Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, it has been claimed.
Sky Italia journalist Govanni Guardala said: “There are many rumours about his future.
"Real Madrid is tempting him but Manchester United is a team that Conte really likes.
"There are players like Paul Pogba, whom he coached at Juventus, or Alexis Sanchez, [Ander] Herrera and [Romelu] Lukaku, three players he’s always wanted to sign.
“At the moment nothing is decided with Real Madrid.”
Ed Woodward is willing to give Jose Mourinho the funds to sign two players this summer, it has been claimed.
Manchester United, the Guardian say, are prepared to spend as much as £100million when the transfer window reopens.
Mourinho reportedly wants a centre-back with Real Madrid powerhouse Raphael Varane top of his list.
And a forward is also on his radar given the struggles of Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku.

Souness on Martial
Graeme Souness has gushed over Anthony Martial following his winner for Manchester United against Everton on Sunday.
The Sky Sports pundit said: “I think he is a very special player. I’ve always believed it.
“He’s 23 in December, he’s a baby and it is really hard for us to pass comment because we don’t work with him or know him but it looks to me that he gets discouraged easily and he gets moody.
“In terms of football, I was thinking when [Paul] Pogba and Martial were being interviewed [by Sky Sports after the game], if Man Utd can get them right, what a pair they could be together given their age.
“He possesses everything – pace, power, a super technique as we’ve seen in the last few weeks of scoring goals.”
