Erik ten Hag dismissed, Manchester United is looking for a new coach while Ruud van Nistelrooy will take over as interim coach for the Red Devils. Who will succeed the Dutchman? While the name of Ruben Amorim often comes up, the trail leading to Zinedine Zidane still provokes reactions in the north of England. Besides, we would like to see Zizou in Manchester.

It has now been since May 2021, the date of his departure from Real Madridwhich Zinedine Zidane no longer trained. When will the French technician return? This could happen soon. Since he has been free, Zizou has regularly been mentioned among the options to sit on the bench. Manchester United. If this has never materialized until now, the right opportunity could finally present itself.

Zidane to Manchester United?

This is particularly the case of Paul Scholeslegend of Manchester United. Indeed, in comments reported by Manchester Evening Newsthe Englishman confided about Zinedine Zidane : « Amorim is interesting, but it's risky. We know the style of play, Amorim plays good football.

Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and should have the best. Zidane is one of them.

He has not yet had the opportunity to do so due to the success of Deschamps. That's the name that comes to mind, but it's a very difficult situation to arrive in a team that is in full transition. It's very difficult for anyone to come in and bring the magic. We've seen so many managers, great managers, fail here. There must be a reason for this and it's not just a question of managers ».
