SHOCKING NEWS: Zinedine Zidane revealed 7 player he his likely to sign if he becomes Man United coach – As Erik Ten Hag Era draws Closer
Under Ten Hag, United has had a terrible season. They have lost five of their first ten Premier League games, both of their initial Champions League matches, and Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup loss against Newcastle.
As a result, club executives have compiled a shortlist of possible Zidane replacements, with the Dutchman being among the top candidates. The Frenchman had a tremendously successful stint at La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, yet he is now unemployed.
Despite winning two La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues with Los Blancos, he has not returned to management since departing the Bernabeu in 2021. That being said, it doesn’t seem realistic that he would accept the opportunity to lead United.
“Should I travel to Manchester? I’m not an expert in English, but I do understand it. “I am aware that some coaches visit clubs without knowing the language, but my approach is different,” he stated to Marca in the previous year.
“There are other factors at play; it’s a worldwide situation. I know what I must do to prevail. As a player, I had the freedom to select and visit nearly any team. As an instructor, there are

Even with all of the vultures hovering around Old Trafford, Ten Hag is certain that he is the best person to guide United. And in spite of their dismal run, the Dutchman maintained he can turn things around after the loss to Newcastle.
“I understand that when the results are not there, it is a logical process to question [the manager]. But I am confident I can do it. With all my clubs I have done it and also last year I did it here as well. In this moment, we are in a bad place,” he said.
“I take responsibility for it. I see it as a challenge. It is not good enough. We know that. We were in the game and in a couple of minutes we gave the game away. That’s below our standards and we know that. We have to take responsibility for this.
