Yes.I'm confused - this was from 3 years ago?

The agent of Zinedine Zidane has said that his client is not attracted to managing in England, saying that it is not his style.
The former Juventus and Real Madrid midfielder has been touted as a potential replacement for under-fire Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, who is thought to be clinging onto his job by a thread at Old Trafford.
While Saturday’s sensational comeback against Newcastle gave United a 3-2 victory and perhaps bought the Portuguese a little more time in the United hot seat, it was little more than papering over the pretty large cracks in his tenure.
United are thought to have been in contact with Zidane about him replacing Mourinho, much like Mourinho was contacted behind Louis van Gaal’s back in 2016, but despite being out of work after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season, Zidane’s agent has moved to distance his client from the speculation.
“I do not think that he will manage in England,” Alain Migliaccio told Journal du Dimanche.
“It is much less his style. I have discussed it with him, it does not really attract him. He has chosen to have a year out, he will not dive in again before that is over.”

"Sources" informed every major news agency in the last month that he's not interested in the United job and is holding out for the French national job. He doesn't want it.I’m sure there’s a millions examples of people changing their mind. Just today alone.
That Madrid side was in a bad place and underachieving after la decima. They weren't competing for much and were getting embarrassed in Clasicos under Rafa until he stepped in midseason to rescue them.How does me saying I don’t think Zidane would be a success equal saying Rodgers would be. I have said I think Rodgers would be a good choice due to his track record of improving players and his relative success in England/Scotland.
I’m a little weary of Zidane because of the strength of the team he managed. They were arguably the bestMadrid team ever with peak Ronaldo, Ramos, Modric etc.He doesn’t have that here so there’s got to be question marks. He’s simply not managed a team as poor as we are.

He doesn't speak English. Hey, you want to ignore everything and pretend he wants the job, knock yourself out.Nice… Conte currently manages Spurs. He tuned down the job in the summer and told all his sources he doesn’t take on jobs mid season but would make an acception for United!
Anything else you want to hit me with? Is he allergic to English wind?
This is now over 400 pages of posts just repeating the same thing over and over.
What is the point of this thread? There is nothing happening and nothing is going to happen.
Let's just move on and wait for the next match and try to actually support the team you claim to care about
I don't understand this take. Why does someone have to be PL proven? Seriously, explain yourself. Tuchel says hello.Zidane would be just as big a gamble as Ten Hag or Rodgers. He's not proven in the PL or at any other club than where he had the most expensive squad ever. I don't think you can gurantee success with any of them.

This. I refuse to believe in all these "excuses" for every manager who we want. They don't want the job or they don't want to leave right now from current clubs or they are under contract...That’s literally what you are doing. You’ve even lied and said he doesn’t speak English.
At the end of the day if we really wanted him I’m sure we can get him. The main point is we don’t really want him.

Reality is that we are Man Utd. Despite everything, we are still giant club from best league in the world with top reputation, excellent squad and tone of money.
So, if we really want some manager, we can hire him NOW. Rodgers and Haag will refuse us? Yeah right, of course they will . Zidane will rather wait France job instead being here? Sure, sure...
Sad truth is that we are not searching for manager.
Im convinced all these journalists all work in tandem with each other, one posts a rumour and gets loads of views/clicks/interactions etc. and at the peak of it one of their pals tweets debunking the original tweet and the cycle starts over again.
In this case whether Zidane wants us or not at least we are supposedly doing something behind the scenes. Supposedly.

Yeah that’s stupid as there is very few English managers in the PL anyway and the best here have come from outside the league…I don't understand this take. Why does someone have to be PL proven? Seriously, explain yourself. Tuchel says hello.
Nice… Conte currently manages Spurs. He tuned down the job in the summer and told all his sources he doesn’t take on jobs mid season but would make an acception for United!

Can you tell us your expertise in hiring football managers and/or your sources? Football Manager doesn't countThat’s literally what you are doing. You’ve even lied and said he doesn’t speak English.

Like others have said the Zidane stuff is just blatant PR spin as usual but not surprised to see us do that

My god you are so butthurt. There is no set of fans in the world that would have been more supportive to Ole than United fans have been.Its possible he read the Caf and didn't want to deal with the fans.
Eh? Who do you think is putting the ideas of Zidane out there? It's not the club, why would they when its quite obvious plenty of the fanbase want Ole gone at this point. That's negative PR.
Neither did Klopp. I'm not sure why some fans believe that every manager on the planet springs a boner at the thought of managing United.Zidane doesn’t want to come here, unfortunately.

Can you really expect this to be a 'positive' environment, given the state of the club on and off the pitch? You're off your rocker if you think that fans of other clubs would be more patient and positive than United fans have been.I'm not butthurt? This forum is the more toxic than Facbook. You can't honestly sit here and say that this is a positive place to be.

To be fair, why would it be positive? We're witnessing some of the worst form of a Utd side in decades. It makes a lot more sense that this place is big old SadCafe right now than in the past.

The fans are great. Its the posters in this board that have spent the good part of: Every day since they joined to spread their complaints at every avenue of opportunity. It was bad during Moyes but my god its taken off the past 5 years.
For every person contributing something worthwhile its 20 people blowing off steam with the frequent flyer oneliners.
Not related to the Redcafe, but when the Manchester United IG account had to turn off comments on a post with Harry Maguire and some kid during a event with the Foundation, that was the lowest point yet.
All you Ole inner and previous long term Ole inners don’t chat to me like you all have football knowledge now. Go look in your well for knowledge or what Gary Neville says.
The cheek of some of you
