Rumors indicate that Zinedine Zidane may be a candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag as Manchester United’s manager, particularly after a rocky start to the season.
Zidane, who has been out of a managerial position since his time at Real Madrid, might be seeking a new challenge.
While taking over the French national team seems unlikely for now—given Didier Deschamps’ backing from the French Football Federation—Zidane could consider opportunities at top clubs like Manchester United.
If Zidane were to accept the role, he would reportedly have specific requests, including the signing of FC Barcelona’s defender Jules Kounde during the winter transfer window.
This approach resembles the conditions set by managers like Thomas Tuchel when taking on new positions.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is closely monitoring ten Hag’s performance, with pressure mounting due to the team’s recent difficulties.
