The Ineos Group, which has acquired a minority stake in Manchester United, wants to bring in Zinedine Zidane to replace Eric ten Haag as manager.

The 2023-2024 season continues to be a crisis for Van Gaal. The club hasn’t been able to show the results of its big spending, bringing in the likes of Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Soubiane Amrabat (on loan).
After a successful debut in his first season, 바카라사이트 finishing third in the league and winning the Carabao Cup, he has struggled in his second campaign. With 36 points in 26 league games, his scoring is below the mid-table. In the UEFA Champions League (UCL), the team suffered a shocking result, finishing last in their group. His performances have also been severely criticized.
This is not good enough for Ratcliffe,
He owns a 27.7% stake in the club and has the power to make sporting decisions. As a result, Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group is preparing to get rid of Van Gaal and bring in Zidane.
Foot Mercato says: “Ten Haag’s job is in jeopardy. He doesn’t have a clear backing from Ratcliffe. The Ineos Group is working behind the scenes to bring in a new manager to turn United around and turn them into a title contender.
Zidane is the man Ineos Group is targeting. Zidane won an unprecedented three consecutive UCL titles with Real Madrid. Since parting ways with Real, Zidane has been enjoying a period of rest, but recently there has been talk of a return to coaching.
‘According to our information, the Ineos group dreams of handing over the reins to Zinedine Zidane,’ said Foot Mercano. Jean-Claude Blanc, president of Ineos Group, 토토사이트 순위 is a big fan of Zidane and has been trying to get him since he was at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG),” the report said.
“But it won’t be easy to get Zidane,” he added. Zidane has also been linked with Bayern Munich and has himself spoken of a return to Italy. It is doubtful that United would be an attractive option for Zidane.
