“I don’t think he’s capable of handling a big team like Manchester United , judging by the gameplay against Manchester City, i have seen that it’s not the fault of the players but the wrong coaching skills,I can’t sit back and watch my dream team go to waste” said Sir Jim Ratchlife in a press conference after making known his BIG PLAN to bring in Zinedine Zidane as the potential Successor of Erik Ten Hag… I must say this is the best decision to take and Sir Jim Comments BELOW has given Manchester United fans some hope that we could bounce back after all of this 💯
Fabrizio Romano has cast doubt on the possibility of Manchester United pursuing Zinedine Zidane as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, despite speculation that incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth has identified a former Chelsea manager as his preferred choice.
Ten Hag’s second season at Manchester United has been fraught with challenges, with the team experiencing a series of setbacks. Currently positioned sixth in the Premier League and trailing by 11 points from the top four, they risk missing out on their primary goal of securing a Champions League berth for the next season. The pressure on Ten Hag has intensified as he struggles to replicate the success of his initial season in charge.
Rumors suggest that many within Old Trafford view Ten Hag as a ‘dead man walking,’ with senior players purportedly losing confidence in his leadership. Roy Keane has voiced concerns about the club’s direction, particularly following their recent loss to Manchester City.
Although Zidane’s name has been floated as a potential replacement for Ten Hag, Romano emphasizes that there have been no substantial discussions between Zidane and Manchester United thus far. Instead, Ashworth is said to have endorsed Graham Potter, the former Brighton manager who had a brief stint at Chelsea.
Despite Potter’s challenges at Chelsea, he is highly respected for his tenure at Brighton, and Ashworth sees his tactical approach as compatible with United’s style of play. Speculation suggests that Potter is favored by influential figures such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir David Brailsford, and clandestine discussions purportedly occurred between Potter and Ashworth regarding the United managerial role.
Although Zidane boasts an impressive resume from his time at Real Madrid, there are uncertainties surrounding his interest in coaching in England. Thomas Gravesen, Zidane’s former teammate, has hinted that Zidane would only consider returning to management for specific clubs, none of which include Manchester United.
In conclusion, while Zidane’s name has been mentioned, Potter emerges as a strong contender for the Manchester United managerial position should Ten Hag be replaced.
