Zidane Reveals True Feelings About Man Utd as Bayern Munich Makes First Move

Zinedine Zidane would apparently like to take over at Manchester United this summer, thus he is hesitant to commit to Bayern Munich.

When Thomas Tuchel steps down at the end of the current campaign, Bayern will need to hire a new manager. Although Julian Nagelsmann, 36, has since inked a new deal with the German national team, the Bavarian giants were eager to get him back after Euro 2024.

Zidane may not want to take on an international role unless it involves France, according to earlier reports. Now that L’Equipe is saying that Zidane does not want to hurry into anything with the German club since he has one eye on the situation at United, his pickiness may see him reject Bayern.

Erik ten Hag’s future is under scrutiny with the February arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team at United, who are now ranked seventh in the Premier League. A shortlist of possible successors for the Dutchman has been compiled by Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, and Zidane is allegedly fascinated by the Old Trafford project.

Zidane, on the other hand, does not understand German and is not very fond of the thought of relocating to Munich. The 51-year-old is not proficient in English either, and he has already mentioned that if he were to accept a position in the Premier League, the language barrier may be a problem.

After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired, Zidane was connected to the United position. Gary O’Neill of Wolves and England manager Gareth Southgate are two more names that United is taking another look at. Along with Zidane, Bayern’s shortlist also includes Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of Brighton, and Ralf Rangnick, the former temporary manager of United who is presently in charge of Austria.
