Manchester United's Ambitious Move: Zinedine Zidane Emerges as Potential Managerial Target

Sir Jim Ratcliffe the new Manchester United investor with a 27.7% stake reportedly envisions Zinedine Zidane as Manchester United’s next permanent manager. Ratcliffe who is making changes behind the scenes has already appointed Omar Berrada as CEO and is seeking Dan Ashworth as a sporting director.

Current manager Erik ten Hag faces increasing pressure with Zidane seen as an ideal replacement if he becomes available. Zidane who left Real Madrid three years ago has rejected offers from other clubs. United aims to lure the Frenchman in the summer for a long-term project. However, Zidane has expressed an interest in managing in Italy.
