Manchester united denies contacting zinedine zidane to replace mourinho

According to recent reports, Manchester United has denied claims that they have contacted Zinedine Zidane to replace Jose Mourinho as the club's manager.

The rumors emerged after French media outlet L'Equipe reported that United had made contact with Zidane, who is currently on a sabbatical after leaving Real Madrid in May. However, the club has since issued a statement denying the claims.

"Manchester United has not made any contact with Zinedine Zidane or any other individual regarding the position of manager," the club said in a statement.

Mourinho has been under pressure at Old Trafford this season, with the team struggling to find consistency and currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table. Despite this, the club has not yet made a decision on whether to sack the Portuguese manager or give him more time to turn things around.

Zidane, on the other hand, has been linked with several managerial vacancies in recent months, including the French national team and Paris Saint-Germain. However, it remains to be seen whether he will return to management in the near future.

It's worth noting that while United has denied contacting Zidane, it's possible that the club may still be interested in him as a potential candidate in the future. Zidane has a strong reputation in the game and has a proven track record of success as a manager, having won numerous titles with Real Madrid and the French national team.
