Zinedine Zidane continues to be linked with replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Zinedine Zidane has been spotted at a club’s training session amid mounting scrutiny on Erik ten Hag’s managerial position at Manchester United.
It’s early in the season but pressure is already building on Ten Hag, who has led Man United to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, including a bruising 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool.
Despite intense speculation over his tenure at the end of last season, the Dutchman survived the sack as he penned a new deal at Old Trafford.
But before he signed a contract extension, several high-profile managers were linked with replacing him at the club.
Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate were linked with the Man United job not to mention Zidane, who has only ever managed Real Madrid.
Zidane stepped down in 2021, having guided Real to three Champions League titles between 2015 and 2018.
Ahead of potentially returning to management, he was seen taking in a Real Betis training session.
The legendary Frenchman was seen at the club’s training base in an unexpected sighting.
A video shows the 52-year-old watching a Betis session on Wednesday, which marked the first time his son, Elyaz, trained with the first-team.

Elyaz, 18, spent 11 years at Real before signing for Betis, who are managed by former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Zidane’s name continues to be associated with Man United, but the club’s chief executive Omar Berrada has backed Ten Hag.
Speaking before Sunday’s league clash, Berrada said: “We’re very happy with that decision [to give Ten Hag a new contract].
“Erik has our full backing and we have worked very closely together in this transfer window. We’re going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results out of the team.
“Do we still believe in Erik? Absolutely. We think Erik is the right coach for us and we’re fully backing him.”
