Zidane eyes Manchester United job amid Bayern links

In a twist of managerial speculation, Zinedine Zidane's potential move to Bayern Munich encounters obstacles as the Frenchman reportedly expresses a preference for Manchester United.

According to L’Équipe, earlier in the day, three-time Champions League-winning coach Zinedine Zidane was nearing a move to Germany, as negotiations between the former Real Madrid man and Bayern Munich have progressed. 

While Bayern eagerly court Zidane for their managerial post, the allure of Manchester United appears to sway the Frenchman's decision-making process, according to the French publication.

Despite acknowledging Bayern's immediate title-winning potential, Zidane reportedly views language barriers and adapting to life in Bavaria as significant challenges, prompting him to closely monitor developments at Manchester United.

INEOS, keen on ushering in a new era at Manchester United, are poised to welcome Zidane as a pivotal figure. Despite Zidane's limited proficiency in English, sources suggest he possesses a better grasp of the language compared to German, further tilting the scales towards a potential move to the English club.
