Former Southampton striker Charlie Austin has advised Manchester United to make urgent move for former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane as replacement for manager Ruben Amorim.
He made this known after the Red Devils crashed out of the Carabao Cup to fourth tier Grimbsy on Wednesday.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Austin stated that Zidane will make a big difference with Man United.
“If it’s my decision, I am going after Zinedine Zidane. I’m trying to convince him to come to Manchester United. Shouldn’t need doing, but at this moment in time, you do. Ultimately, though, there is a different set of managers that you have got to be looking at because of the situation that United are in.”

“It’s been four years since we last saw Zidane sitting on the bench of a football team. He left Real Madrid for the second time on May 27, 2021 and has been linked with a number of jobs since as he takes a break from the beautiful game.
“I would take Zidane, but is he the right man for the job at Manchester United (as we) speak at the moment and how we see them, probably not.
“My honest opinion is that you have to look at the jobs that Sean Dyche has done at Burnley, what he did at Everton. He stabilised the club, at least he is going to put structure in there. What Manchester United need right now is structure. That is something they do not have.”
