Louis Saha believes that Zinedine Zidane would be the perfect choice for Manchester United if Erik ten Hag faces dismissal this summer. The former Red Devils striker is advocating for Zidane to take over at Old Trafford if the club decides to make a change in the dugout at the start of the INEOS era.
Zidane has been out of management since 2021 when he left his second stint at Real Madrid, where he achieved three consecutive Champions League titles as a boss. Saha also believes that Zidane’s arrival would greatly benefit 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo, offering him the opportunity to learn from the legendary midfielder and take his game to new heights.
While Mainoo may be grateful to Ten Hag for giving him the chance to emerge, the prospect of working with Zidane could be more appealing if the Dutchman departs. Overall, Saha sees no negatives in Zidane’s potential appointment and views it as a positive move for the club should the change in management occur.
This recommendation comes alongside a prevailing sentiment that Zidane’s presence at United would greatly enhance the team and its players, particularly Mainoo.
