Zidane in training ground visit as Man Utd consider Ten Hag’s replacement

Former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, was spotted at Real Betis’ training ground amid fresh links with the Manchester United role.

Zidane has not managed any team since he left the Bernabeu for the second time in May 2021.

Since then, the 52-year-old has been linked with United, Bayern Munich and the national team jobs at United States, Brazil and Algeria.

However, the Frenchman is taking his time in picking his next job.

Zidane has sparked rumours that he could be preparing for a return to the dugout this week, when he was spotted attending a training session at Real Betis.

It comes amid pressure on Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford following a poor start to the season, just months after the club’s new leadership team openly courted other managers.

Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Gareth Southgate were among those considered by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his advisors, while L’Equipe stated that Zidane was also interested in taking over from Ten Hag.
