Revealed:reasons why Zidane wife could stand as a block to his Manchester United move .
With pressure continuing to grow on Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United, former
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has
emerged as one of the candidates to
replace the underperforming Norwegian.
The debate around Solskjaer's suitability
to the job in Manchester has been ongoing
for some time now, but a heavy loss to Liverpool
this season and a subsequent defeat to
Manchester City has seen the pressure
ramp up further.
Now, Record Sport are suggesting that
Zidane is attracted to the opportunity of
taking over at Old Trafford, where he would
be reunited with two former Real Madrid
players in Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael
Varane, as well as regular Los Blancos
target Paul Pogba.
Not a straightforward deal
While United are reportedly hoping that
Zidane's relationships with both Cristiano
Ronaldo and Varane will make him see
a move to the club more favourably, it's not
a easy sell.
It has been reported that Veronique
Zidane, the coach's wife, isn't sold on the
idea of living in Manchester. She would
rather Zidane took a longer break from
coaching and find work elsewhere.
Other options
Antonio Conte was another candidate being
considered for the job, but Manchester
United's recent defeat of Tottenham instead
saw Spurs change coach and appoint the
Italian.
United believe that Zidane is a less divisive
and demanding figure than Conte and
his Real Madrid record, particularly in
Europe, speaks for itself, winning three
Champions Leagues and two LaLiga
Santander titles, among others.
Leicester City's Brendan Rodgers is another
candidate, despite his history of having
been Liverpool boss in the past.
