I believe that it is only you that can save Manchester United from getting relegated this season. Please accept the job and save from being relegated” – Casemiro has already sent a message to Manchester United regarding Zinedine Zidane amid recent links between the French manager and the club.

Ex-Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane remains linked with the unexpected possibility of becoming Manchester United’s next head coach.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has praised Zinedine Zidane’s greatest strength as a coach, highlighting his ability to connect with players in the dressing room.

The Frenchman, who has been without a managerial role since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, has recently been linked to the possibility of replacing Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Although Ten Hag remains in charge for now and is set to lead United against Brentford this weekend, he is under pressure to reverse the club’s poor form, with five consecutive games without a win and three league matches without a goal.

Following the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England’s new manager, the pool of top-tier coaches available has become limited. Zidane, who has only ever managed Real Madrid, has been linked to the United job several times in the past.

However, in 2018, his agent, Alain Migliaccio, downplayed the likelihood of Zidane coaching in England, citing a lack of interest.

Despite this, rumors of Zidane potentially taking charge at Old Trafford persist. Should he ever do so, Casemiro, who played 205 times under Zidane at Madrid, scoring 26 goals and providing 19 assists, has already spoken about Zidane’s management style.

In 2017, Casemiro noted that Zidane understands players as individuals, recognizing that their emotions can vary, and knows how to address them accordingly. This, he said, is one of Zidane’s key strengths in connecting with the team.

Zinedine Zidane’s potential move to Manchester United as head coach has resurfaced amid pressure on Erik ten Hag following the team’s poor form. Zidane, who last managed Real Madrid in 2021, has long been linked with the Old Trafford job, despite his agent expressing doubts about Zidane’s interest in managing in England back in 2018.

Casemiro, who thrived under Zidane at Real Madrid, has praised Zidane’s ability to connect with players emotionally and manage them as individuals, which Casemiro believes is one of Zidane’s greatest strengths as a coach. This endorsement adds weight to speculation, especially as the pool of elite managerial options has narrowed after Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as England’s manager.

While Ten Hag remains in charge for now, United’s struggles, including five games without a win and three league matches without scoring, have led to increasing speculation about a potential managerial change. Zidane, with his illustrious record, would be a high-profile replacement should the club decide to act.
