British broadcaster Piers Morgan has thrown his weight behind Antonio Conte as the man to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United, should the club decide to make a change. Carrick faces mounting pressure following a dismal run of results that has left United languishing in 13th place after seven league matches with just a single win.

Morgan isn't convinced by the current manager's approach. "Michael Carrick.

I am not feeling it. He was a superb player," Morgan told reporters, according to Sports Uncensored.

The broadcaster believes the Italian tactician possesses the drive the club desperately requires at this moment. "Conte has a problem.

He got that fire in the belly which I think United need now," he added, making clear his preference for the former Chelsea boss to steer the struggling Red Devils forward.
