Manchester United coaching situation
After the poor start of the season under Erik ten Hag, which led to his sack, and Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s commendable stint as interim manager, Amorim was brought in mid-season to set the Red Devils back on course.
However, they have sunk further. Manchester United are currently 14th on the log, and while relegation is not on the cards, their form is dismal, so they could finish even lower than 14th.
While INEOS boss Jim Ratcliffe has expressed maximum confidence in the Portuguese, his future at the club is not yet certain. Saha, who played for the club from 2004 to 2008, believes Zidane is the replacement they should be looking for.

What Saha said
The former Real Madrid coach has been on a four-year sabbatical from coaching, with no end in sight, as he has turned down multiple high-profile jobs, especially from Premier League suitors.
"Maybe the only thing that is stopping him from taking the job is his English, or perhaps he’s not attracted to the Premier League in some way,” Saha theorised, per GOAL. “That's what I heard from interviews. But so many people talk instead of him, so I don’t know for sure.

"But I definitely am sure about his quality as a manager, as a human being. He has a natural aura, he’s able to impart confidence and tactical awareness. A lot comes naturally to him.
"There are a lot of things that come naturally but he's someone that works hard. He wants to really understand the philosophy of every player and get them to play well. A similar approach to Alex Ferguson, but with different skills.
“He managed to provide this kind of confidence with the Real Madrid players. Yes, sometimes he may not like every player, but he managed brilliantly, won loads of trophies at the hardest club to manage in world football.
“Real Madrid is extremely difficult; culturally, it's less protective for the players, so you will get exposed and when you do, you have to have the nerves; you have to have that."
Meanwhile, Saha also urged Manchester United to go all out for Victor Osimhen. He lauded the Nigerian’s characteristics, submitting that he was the perfect fit for the Red Devils Jigsaw.
