A former French star has issued a damning verdict on the Zinedine Zidane to Man Utd links, as doubts persist over Erik ten Hag's future at Old Trafford
French legend Zinedine Zidane would not take on the Manchester United job as he doesn't speak English.
Nonetheless, ex-Chelsea centre-back Gallas doubts that Zidane, who has remained without a club since his departure from Real Madrid in 2021 and has been considered by a number of elite European clubs, would accept a position where he couldn't communicate effectively with his squad. According to the ex-defender, theres a specific opportunity Zidane might be waiting for, as per the Mirror.
The ex-Arsenal and Spurs star also hinted that the 52-year-old is holding out for a call from his home country, having already dominated the domestic game. He added: "I think he is still waiting for the France national team job. He won everything there is to win with Real Madrid and he only has one job on his mind now."
Zidane then led his team to two consecutive Champions League victories in 2017 and 2018. In addition to their European successes, he also guided Real Madrid to the LaLiga title in the 2016-17 season.
