Many see the former Chelsea, Juventus and Inter tactician as the No.1 candidate to take over at Old Trafford.
According to SportItalia’s Gianluigi Longari, the Manchester United job is Conte’s first option for his future, although it remains to be seen whether or not the former midfielder would accept the job now.
Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this month that Conte would only be open to getting a new job at the end of the season.
Manchester United haven’t made a decision about the future of Solskjaer, but the former striker is under pressure after collecting just 14 points in nine Premier League games so far.
