Man Utd part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe succeeded in his attempts to convince Zinedine Zidane to succeed Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager. According to Reports, Ratcliffe dreams of bring Zidane to Old Trafford and sees him as the perfect candidate to replace the struggling Ten Hag. He said “There’s is a big update coming soon don’t want to Rush things but one of my major concern is about to be accomplished. We will be seeing zidane sooner than expected”. Ten Hag to be sacked as zidane wants to work with sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Manchester United’s part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is facing difficulties in his efforts to convince Zinedine Zidane to replace Erik ten Hag as the club’s manager. Ratcliffe has reportedly set his sights on Zidane as the ideal candidate to take charge at Old Trafford, especially given Ten Hag’s current struggles with the team.

According to the Daily Mirror, Ratcliffe dreams of luring Zidane to Manchester United, seeing the French legend as the perfect fit to restore the club’s fortunes. Zidane, who has been without a managerial role since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, has long harbored hopes of managing the French national team. However, with Didier Deschamps still in charge of France, Zidane’s dream job remains out of reach.

Ratcliffe has tried to persuade Zidane to consider Manchester United as his next destination, but the former Real Madrid, Juventus, and France star remains unconvinced. Zidane has previously expressed reservations about managing in England, citing language barriers as one of the reasons. In an interview with L’Equipe, Zidane said, “Would I want to go to Manchester United? I understand English, but I’m not completely fluent in it. I know some coaches go to clubs without speaking the language, but I work differently. Many factors come into play to win, it’s about the global context. I know what I need to win.”

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag is under immense pressure following a poor start to the new Premier League season. United has managed only three points from their opening three matches and recently suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. This dismal performance has fueled speculation that Ten Hag may soon lose his job, with British bookmakers strongly backing him to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

After the crushing loss to Liverpool, Ten Hag’s odds of being sacked plummeted, and he has emerged as the favorite among all Premier League managers to be shown the door. Despite expectations that Ten Hag would be dismissed after a disappointing 2023-24 campaign, during which Manchester United finished eighth in the Premier League and crashed out of the Champions League group stage, he was surprisingly retained by the club.

United had conducted an internal review of Ten Hag’s position and explored potential replacements but ultimately decided to keep the Dutch manager at Old Trafford. While this decision allowed Ten Hag to stay on for the time being, it now appears to be a temporary reprieve. Many experts and bookmakers believe that his dismissal is only a matter of time, with his tenure hanging by a thread.

Several high-profile managers are being linked as possible successors to Ten Hag, including former England boss Gareth Southgate and ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. However, Zidane, despite Ratcliffe’s efforts, appears unlikely to take up the role at Manchester United, making it increasingly clear that finding the right manager to replace Ten Hag could be a challenging task for the club.
