Current Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag finds himself under pressure to succeed in the remaining weeks of the 2023/24 season, having endured a tumultuous campaign at the Theatre of Dreams. Zidane has been linked with a possible return to management in recent months, and Manchester United’s struggles have led to speculation that he could be a potential target for the Old Trafford club.
According to L’Equipe, Bayern Munich is also interested in Zidane, but the Frenchman is reportedly hesitant about taking the job in Bavaria. Zidane is said to be ‘closely monitoring’ the situation at Manchester United, and it is believed that he would be interested in the job if it were offered to him.
Zidane has managed a side against Manchester United just once, winning the UEFA Super Cup following a 2-1 victory in August 2017. He has a wealth of experience at the highest level, having won three Champions League titles, two La Liga titles, and two Club World Cup titles during his two spells in charge of Real Madrid.
Manchester United are hoping to return to the pinnacle of English and European football, and they believe that Zidane could be the man to lead them back to glory. The Frenchman is a proven winner, and he has the experience and the charisma to succeed at Old Trafford.
