Manchester United chief, Jean-Claude Blanc is reportedly in contact with Zinedine Zidane, who is admired by the club’s minority shareholder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Following their defeat to Fulham at home last weekend, the Red Devils suffered a setback in their quest for Champions League qualification.
Erik ten Hag’s future will only be questioned in light of United’s defeat at Old Trafford, as the team is currently eight points outside the top four.
A report published in The Independent as claimed by TBR Football stated that Jean-Claude Blanc and Zinedine Zidane have maintained communication.
Rumor has it that the Frenchman is well-liked and greatly admired by both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the members of the Ineos group.
The ex-manager of Real Madrid has not held a coaching position since departing the La Liga giants in 2021.
Not that Zidane is expected to be appointed at Old Trafford, but the establishment is maintaining the relationship.
Under Ten Hag, the Red Devils’ season has been largely disappointing thus far.
Although injuries undoubtedly had a role, United have significantly underperformed compared to their well improved performance from the previous season.
In addition, they have been eliminated from the European competition and have a crucial FA Cup matchup with Liverpool coming up.
