“I am ready to take the job but on one condition, you must bring to Old Trafford along me” – Zinedine Zidane is reportedly open to taking over as Manchester United’s manager, but he has one condition: the club must make a specific signing. The former Real Madrid coach is considering replacing Erik ten Hag if the opportunity arises.
According to reports, Zinedine Zidane is open to the possibility of taking over as Manchester United manager, but he has a specific transfer target in mind if he succeeds Erik ten Hag.
United have endured their worst start to a Premier League season, with just eight points from seven matches and sitting in 14th place.
Ten Hag is under increasing pressure from fans, media, and the board, though he is expected to remain in charge at least until the international break ends, with their next match against Brentford.
The Dutch manager acknowledged the need for improvement, especially in scoring, while defending the team’s progress in other areas.
Zidane, one of the rumored candidates for the job, reportedly has his eye on Barcelona’s Jules Koundé as a priority signing if he joins United.
The French defender has caught Zidane’s attention and is seen as essential to strengthening a defense that has shown significant weaknesses recently.
It appears that Zinedine Zidane has emerged as a potential candidate to take over as Manchester United manager, especially in light of Erik ten Hag’s struggles during the club’s worst Premier League start in decades. United currently sit 14th, with just eight points from seven matches, and Ten Hag is under increasing pressure despite the club’s expectation that he will remain at least until the international break ends.
Zidane reportedly views Barcelona’s Jules Koundé as a key transfer target if he were to take charge at Old Trafford. Koundé, a versatile French defender, would be a priority signing for Zidane to reinforce Manchester United’s struggling defense. Zidane’s admiration for Koundé highlights his focus on tightening the backline, a major concern given United’s defensive issues so far this season.
For now, Ten Hag is still in charge, but the speculation surrounding Zidane and the potential for new defensive reinforcements points to ongoing concerns at the club.
