Former Manchester United player Louis Saha has voiced his strong preference for Zinedine Zidane to assume managerial duties at the club amidst increasing pressure on current manager Erik ten Hag.
Following a demoralizing 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, speculation has intensified regarding Ten Hag’s future, with several names, including Thomas Tuchel, Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi, and Graham Potter, being considered.

In an interview with OLBG, Saha underscored Zidane’s potential to inspire and uplift players, envisioning a significant positive impact on the team’s performance and morale.
“Zinedine Zidane possesses the character and charisma required to lead Manchester United,” expressed the former United and France forward to OLBG.
“Zidane is the manager I would dream to see at Manchester United for obvious reasons. He would thrive, and he’s eager to return to football. I believe it would be challenging for him to remain on the sidelines for another year.
“So, let’s wait and see what unfolds. However, his arrival at United would be monumental because numerous players would view him as an inspiration, motivating them to strive for excellence rather than settling for their current standards.”
