Zinedine Zidane is reportedly uninterested in taking over the Manchester United job as INEOS looks to make changes in the dugout.
According to i News, Manchester United may not be able to convince Zinedine Zidane to become their new manager. Erik ten Hag’s future has come under scrutiny, and there have been links to the 51-year-old former Real Madrid manager, who remains unconvinced as things stand.
Zinedine Zidane does not want Manchester United job
News reports continue to speculate over Erik ten Hag’s immediate future at Manchester United, with suggestions that incoming director of football Dan Ashworth is not convinced of the Dutchman. There might be some merit to those discussions on the Dutchman’s impending future, considering how badly the season has been so far.
Another recent story has claimed that Manchester United are poised to sack ten Hag, although the broader suggestion is that the Dutchman remains safe in his position for the time being. However, increasing reports about new names linked with the Dutchman’s role indicate that INEOS are exploring the availability of a new head coach, including Zinedine Zidane.
INEOS consider Zidane as their dream appointment should they part ways with Ten Hag. However, the 51-year-old former Real Madrid manager has no interest in taking over the role, as per the report. They claim the French legend does feel Old Trafford and the club’s current state is not something he wants to take over currently.
Zidane has been without a job since leaving Real Madrid in 2021. There have been links in the past with Manchester United, although nothing came to fruition then, and it might not happen now. Some other suggestions point towards a language barrier, which has dissuaded Zidane from taking over a job in England, and that might extend to Manchester United.
Who are the alternatives to Zidane?
While Zidane might not have any interest in taking over, some other names are being considered in the background. Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly favours Graham Potter to take over from ten Hag, who incidentally could also be Ashworth’s choice should the current Newcastle Untied director take up a role at Old Trafford.
Julen Lopetegui is also a name mentioned earlier. But the Spaniard has also been without a job since leaving Wolves at the start of the current season. Hence, should Manchester United part ways with ten Hag, they do have some readily available names to consider when replacing the Dutchman.
