Manchester United have reached out to former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane on the recommendation of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to El Chiringuito TV.
Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been under immense pressure following a winless streak of three games in the Premier League
According to El Chiringuito TV, Manchester United have contacted Zidane in case they decide to sack Solskjaer in the near future.
A host of names have been linked to replace the Norwegian tactician, with Zidane and Antonio Conte being the most high-profile names in the mix.
However, if Manchester United want to get the best out of their current squad, Zinedine Zidane would be an ideal candidate.
The 49-year-old managed the likes of Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo during a Real Madrid spell which included three consecutive Champions League titles.
The Frenchman was also one of the reasons why Paul Pogba was rumored to be eyeing a move to the Bernabeu.
According to Gary Neville, Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival at Manchester United has indirectly put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under pressure. This is because the manager is now expected to win trophies with the club rather than finish in a Champions League place.
Neville said:
“So the problems that Ole has got at the moment is Ronaldo coming means it’s make or break. You have to win with Ronaldo, you have to win a trophy. He’s not coming here not to win a trophy and be second, third and fourth.”
