Antonio Conte has his eyes on the Manchester United job if the club decide to sack Jose Mourinho at the end of the season.
Manchester United have struggled to get their season going and are currently lying sixth in the league table, a massive 16 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Passage to the last 16 of the Champions League has earned a reprieve for Mourinho but only two wins, against Young Boys and Fulham, in their last seven games, has increased the pressure on him.
Manchester United have been coy over whether they might remove Mourinho from his post, despite speculation.
And according to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport, Conte is lying in wait in anticipation of Manchester United sacking Mourinho as he wants the job at Old Trafford.
The Italian left Chelsea last summer and has rejected offers to return to management since then.
The former Chelsea boss is Inter's top choice if they have to replace Luciano Spalletti at the end of the season, but Conte has other plans.
The 49-year-old has his eyes set on the Manchester United job and wants to replace Mourinho in the Old Trafford dugout.
