Zinedine Zidane would reportedly prefer to manage Manchester United over Bayern Munich in a major boost to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s summer overhaul. Current Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with an exit due to the club’s below-par form this season.

Zidane is reportedly in discussions with Bayern over replacing Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. The French football icon has not been in a job since leaving his second spell at Real Madrid in 2021.
