HERE WE GO: Zinedine Zidane is now in London Carrington to takeover Man united Job, documents prepared already, Unveiling today – confirmed done deal
OkDiario says United have sounded out the former Real Madrid coach as doubts grow over the position of Erik ten Hag.
United have lost three of their opening five Premier League games this season, which has set alarm bells inside the boardroom.
Indeed, there’s claims United’s poor start is hindering the Glazer family’s attempts to sell the club.
As such, contact has been made with Zizou about replacing Ten Hag should United results persist. United have twice previously made attempts for Zidane, but were rejected by the Frenchman.
United go to Burnley on Saturday evening.
ZINE-DONE DEAL
On Wednesday, Manchester United practically announced the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as manager. He pretended to answer a red phonebox in London. What more do you want?
By Saturday, the story has made its natural next step. The Frenchman ‘is already taking English lessons’ to prepare for his arrival as Jose Mourinho’s replacement.
The Sun exclusively claim that Zidane is ‘desperate to land’ the job at Old Trafford, and has even rejected a number of jobs to keep himself available.
Why do United want him? Because he was ‘seen as a calming influence in the Real Madrid changing room and was able to unite a group of underperforming superstars’. So there.
