Usain Bolt believes Manchester United should have acted quickly to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Antonio Conte after their poor start to the season.
Solskjaer is under immense pressure to turn things around at Old Trafford but is being backed by the club for the time being to get a response out of his star-studded squad.
United passed on Conte in the aftermath of the 5-0 home drubbing by Liverpool and he subsequently took charge of Premier League rivals Tottenham instead.
Bolt believes the Italian would have been the perfect fit at United given his track record as a title-winning manager and the meticulous attention to detail which he demands.
“I wanted Conte,” Bolt told The National. “He is going to do so well at Spurs. He is going to get them organised.
“He has been at Chelsea – he won a title. He’s been at Inter Milan – he’s won a title. He’s been at Juve – he’s won a title.
“Everywhere he goes, he structures the team so well. In January, he is probably going to get one or two players, then at the end of the season he is probably going to find proper players and bring them in.”
When asked about his beloved United the Olympic legend revealed his concerns given how reliant they are on the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo.
He added: "We are going to struggle. Cristiano has saved us every game. One guy has to do all that work. We have not played good football in so long.
“It is so relaxed. We pass so slowly. When Alex Ferguson was manager, we had to win because he would demand you win.”
