Antonio Conte has denied reports in Italy that he has given the green light to a move to a Manchester United on two conditions. La Repubblica reported Conte had made two demands that would need to be met for him to commit to replacing the under-pressure Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.Conte was said to have insisted on full control over transfer strategy and the freedom to appoint a backroom staff of his choosing. However, in a post on Instagram, Conte rejected those claims.Following recent media reports in Italy and abroad, I feel it is appropriate to clarify my position, he wrote.My name has been linked with numerous clubs, but there are currently no negotiations at an advanced stage. Following a wonderful and successful spell in charge of Napoli, I will take the time I need to consider how and when to return to management. It will be a carefully considered decision, one I will make when I believe the conditions are right.I have read reports of financial demands and requests for full control that I have supposedly already made to the clubs mentioned, as well as reservations about what has been described as my strong personality. These reports are unfounded, as there is currently no concrete basis for such assessments.Should a concrete opportunity arise, that will be the time to hold discussions with the club concerned and jointly consider the terms of a potential agreement, with due regard for both parties needs and the qualities and approach that define my work as a manager.Until then, any assumptions about my demands and my professional future remain speculation and cannot be treated as fact.
