Manchester United could have a new star coach. New co-owner dreams of former Real Madrid coach

The Old Trafford team finally emerged from the crisis and got a series of positive results. But that came to an end at the weekend. And would it help coach Erik ten Hag to consolidate his position? No, it didn’t. New co-owner Jim Ratcliffe wants another ace in his place at Manchester United.

Until Saturday, Manchester United held a run of seven games without a loss, winning six of them. But it was on Saturday that the visitors from Fulham understood why Old Trafford is nicknamed the “Theatre of Dreams”, winning 2-1.

But it seems that even a string of positive results has not helped coach Erik ten Hag to gain more confidence in his position. Indeed, speculation has continued all along about who might replace him.

According to the media, one specific candidate who would be the biggest favourite has not yet been chosen from the possible names. But new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has one dream target. He would like to bring the former Real Madrid coach to England’s most successful club.

But it won’t be easy. That dream name is Zinedine Zidane. As is well known, the French legend does not jump at every offer he receives. Does Manchester United even stand a chance of winning him?

Will the French legend lead Manchester United?

With the information that Manchester United, or rather its new co-owner, would like to bring Zinedine Zidane instead of Erik ten Hag, the server Foot Mercato rushed. Currently, INEOS is taking control of the club’s sporting department and Ratcliffe has a clear vision to bring the Red Devils back to the limelight.

The new era is to be ushered in by Zidane as the new coach. INEOS CEO Jean-Claude Blanc is a great admirer of the French legend and it is no wonder.

However, the former Real Madrid coach has been out of a job since 2021. There has been constant speculation that he could take over PSG, Juventus or another big club, and he has also been linked with taking over the French national team, but none of these options are currently in play.
