Manchester United could be searching for a new manager at the end of the season, and they've received a boost in their pursuit of Zinedine Zidane.
Manchester United could be looking to find a new manager at the end of the season if Erik ten Hag's doesn't deliver results over the next few months, and a report from L'Equipe has suggested that former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane would prefer a move to Old Trafford over Bayern Munich.
Although INEOS haven't made a decision on the future of ten Hag, with the Dutch tactician still in his position, they might be considering a change in the dugout in the summer. New owners often like to head in a new direction, and ten Hag hasn't made himself indispensable for the Red Devils.
According to French outlet L'Equipe (via GFFN), Zidane is monitoring the situation of Manchester United and he would prefer a move to Old Trafford than the Allianz Arena. The French coach is said to respect the German club, but would find the language and life in the area a major obstacle.
INEOS have reportedly already shown they are keen on the former Real Madrid man, with Jean-Claude Blanc an admirer of Zidane. The 51-year-old, described as a 'tactical genius' by Steve McManaman, has been out of work since leaving the Spanish giants.
