Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson famously once claimed he could win the Champions League with a team made up of former Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane and 10 'planks of wood'
Sir Alex Ferguson famously said that with "10 planks of wood" and Zinedine Zidane , he could clinch the Champions League.
While Zidane the player never made the move to Manchester, it is being suggested that Zidane the manager could in the near future with reports continuing to link him with the Old Trafford hotseat. Presently, United's current manager Erik ten Hag is feeling the heat following a disappointing start to the season.
United's sole win came against Fulham, with a last-gasp 2-1 loss to Brighton and a heavy 3-0 defeat by Liverpool contributing to their recent performances. They are currently 14th in the league standings, with an upcoming away match against Southampton on Saturday . Although Ferguson is no longer managing United, he is on the board and will no doubt be a fan of Zidane the manager as well given the Frenchman's successes as Real Madrid boss.
