Zinedine Zidane has long been linked with moving to Manchester United
Zinedine Zidane has already made his stance on returning to management very clear, following reports that Erik Ten Hag’s job could be at risk at Old Trafford.
Since then, the former French international has been out of a job and has been linked with the likes of United, Liverpool, Paris Saint Germain, and Juventus.
Zidane won three consecutive Champions League’s while in the Madrid dugout, making him one of the most successful managers in the competitions history.
There have been long-standing rumours linking Zidane to a move to Old Trafford, and according to The Guardian, another opening for the Frenchman could be on the way.

The report states that if Ten Hag’s ‘model’ doesn’t start to impress Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Dutchman will be in serious danger of being sacked.
United always want to make a statement signing and with Zidane available, Ratcliffe may be tempted to go all out to get the former Madrid boss.
Back in 2022, Zidane revealed that while he is looking to make a return to the dugout, personal ambition rules him out of the running for many roles.

In addition, the language barrier has prevented him from ever becoming a contender for prominent positions in the Premier League, such as the United job.
Speaking to L’Equipe, Zidane said: “When I was a player, I could choose almost every club. As a coach, there aren’t 50 clubs I can go to. There are two or three possibilities.
“If I go back to a club, it’s to win. I say this in all modesty. That’s why I can’t go anywhere.”
He added: “For other reasons, too, I might not be able to go everywhere. Which ones? The language, for example. Certain conditions make things more difficult.”
“When people say to me: ‘Do you want to go to Manchester?’ I understand English but I don’t fully master it. I know that there are coaches who go to clubs without speaking the language, but I work differently. To win, many elements come into play. It’s a global context. Me, I know what I need to win.”
