Man United news and transfer rumours | The Peoples Person: Sir Jim Ratcliffe “dreams” of “giving the reins” of Man United to Zinedine Zidane.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the owners of Manchester United, is said to want to bring in Zinedine Zidane, who used to lead Real Madrid, because Erik ten Hag’s future at the club is becoming less clear.
United lost to Fulham 2-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday, which was their 10th loss in the Premier League season.
Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi scored goals that made things even worse for Ten Hag and kept the pressure on the Dutch manager.
Aside from the outcome, Ten Hag has also been criticised for United’s style of play, or lack thereof.
The Red Devils played badly against the Cottagers and should have lost. That being said, the team hasn’t been impressive enough even when they’ve won.
Not long ago, Gary Neville talked about Ten Hag and how hard it will be for him to keep his job now that INEOS has already hired someone else.
Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford may have already made up their minds about Ten Hag, according to the United great. They are just waiting for the right time to confirm their choice.
It has already been said that the 20-time English winners are interested in Julian Nagelsmann. Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton has also been named as a possible candidate for the job.
Foot Mercato says that Ratcliffe’s main goal is to sign Zidane.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has big goals and will do anything to get Manchester United back to the top of English and European sports. In order to do this, INEOS’s boss wants Zinedine Zidane to lead his team instead of Erik Ten Hag.
Coach Erik Ten Hag is under a lot of pressure, and the businessman has not officially backed him up. In the background, INEOS is trying to hire a new big-name coach to help Manchester United get back on track and win their first English championship in 11 years. This is not good news.
The newspaper also says, “From what we know, INEOS only wants to give Zinedine Zidane control of Manchester United.”
Santi Aouna and Sebastien Denis say that Zidane has been thought about for United in the past, but things are very different this time.
United can now brag about how much Jean-Claude Blanc has helped them. When Blanc was at Paris Saint-Germain, he tried to get Zidane to join the big Ligue 1 team.
Blanc is said to have a lot of respect for the 51-year-old boss.
A lot of people think that Zidane was one of the best players of his time. Two La Liga titles, three UEFA Champions League titles, two Supercopa de España titles, and the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2016 and 2017 were won by Madrid while he was manager.
