After a shocking 0-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday, there are rumours that the management has its eyes set on a managerial change with Zinedine Zidane in frame for the role of replacing Erik ten Hag.
United are in an uncomfortable position in the Premier League table, while performances on the pitch have been a far cry from what was expected at the start of the season.
Successive heavy defeats against historic rivals Liverpool and Tottenham have indeed cast a question over Ten Hag’s ability to handle the pressure of a club this size.
It has been highly reported that Zidane would only return to football management if the French national team came calling.
The former Real Madrid manager has made it known that he wants to be at the helm of affairs of the Les Blues, and any attempt or approach by United to try and get him will be very complicated.
The French technician made a name for himself following his exploits at Real Madrid, where he won three back-to-back Champions Leagues.
Although Zidane may covet taking the reins of the French national team, United remains one of the more storied clubs in the world, with their influence spanning the globe.
The money involved and the chance to right an listing iconic club might be enticing to Zidane, but all that considered, it probably should be approached with caution.
A possible discussion of a concrete approach by United may perhaps decide the near future of the Frenchman.
United’s desire to get back to the Premier League and Champions League can bring up the need to make some drastic changes soon.
Whether that decision will involve Zidane is still unknown, but the murmur about the change is becoming louder and louder, and it resonates through the corridors of Old Trafford.
