It has been gathered that English Football club Manchester United of English is reportedly in talks with Zinedine Zidane to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new manager.
According to a new report by The Times as sighted by occupygh.com, after a series of poor results and performances, options are being explored to replace Solksjaer.
Zidane, who won two La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues during his time as a coach at Real Madrid, is the man they want to succeed him even though he is not fully convinced that United is the right place to jump back into management.
The report adds that the Red Devils’ signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane – two players Zidane worked with at Real Madrid – will play key roles to convince him to make the move to Manchester.
United currently sit sixth in the Premier League despite spending £120million on new players in the summer, which has led to Solskjaer coming under heavy criticism from fans and pundits.
Zidane left Real at the end of last season and, after six months out of football, he could be set for his next challenge.
Zidane, 49, is a free agent after electing to step down as Real Madrid coach for a second time last May and can be hired without negotiating a compensation package.
