Without a club for more than two years, Zinedine Zidane would appear on the shelves of an English giant.
What if Zinedine Zidane found a bench soon? Without activity since his departure from Real Madrid at the end of the 2020-2021 season, the 98 world champion no longer hides his desire to return to service. But it remains to be seen where… This summer, his name has notably circulated around Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus Turin, Chelsea and Saudi Arabia. But despite these numerous requests, the former number 10 of the Blues ultimately did not take over the coaching role.
Yes, but now a new offer could quickly arrive on his desk and bring him out of his long period of inactivity. According to information from the very serious The Times, Zidane would be an avenue studied by Manchester United decision-makers in the event of the departure of Erik ten Hag, who is more threatened than ever. It must be said that the Red Devils have two 3-0 defeats, against Manchester City in the Premier League and Newcastle in the League Cup. It remains to be seen whether the French coach could be interested in an adventure across the Channel, he who does not speak English fluently.
Ruben Amorim as an alternative
One thing is certain: Manchester United has enough to satisfy Zidane’s financial demands. Except that the latter doesn’t make his future a question of money. He has refused many golden bridges in recent months. This is why the Mancunian leaders would also have ticked the name of the Portuguese technician Ruben Amorim, who is achieving great things for Sporting Lisbon. His name had also been mentioned a little over a year ago on the PSG side, but it was ultimately Christophe Galtier who was chosen.
