π¨π¨Zinedine Zidane’s two demands before taking Manchester United job as Ruben Amorim pressure grows.
The managerial spotlight at Old Trafford has taken another dramatic twist, as reports suggest Zinedine Zidane is seriously considering the Manchester United job β but only under two very clear conditions. With Ruben Amorim under mounting pressure following a poor run of results, Unitedβs board is already exploring contingency plans, and Zidaneβs name once again leads the conversation.
The first of Zidaneβs demands is said to be complete control over transfer decisions. Having enjoyed such power at Real Madrid during his trophy-laden spells, Zidane wants assurances that Unitedβs hierarchy will not interfere in squad planning. The French legend is reportedly frustrated by how often the clubβs recruitment has failed to align with a managerβs vision, and he wants to avoid the pitfalls that plagued previous bosses at Old Trafford. For Zidane, trust in his judgment regarding both signings and departures is non-negotiable.
His second demand revolves around a cultural reset inside the dressing room. Zidane, renowned for his man-management skills, is said to be wary of taking charge of a squad where divisions or complacency might exist. He insists that Unitedβs board back him in enforcing strict discipline and creating a winning mentality. That could involve moving on certain senior players who are seen as disruptive or underperforming, while also building around hungry talents committed to restoring the clubβs glory.
Unitedβs hierarchy, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, faces a huge decision: continue backing Amorim in the hope he turns things around, or grant Zidane the sweeping authority he demands. Fans remain divided, but the lure of a manager who has lifted the Champions League three times as a coach is undeniably tempting. If Zidaneβs two conditions are met, Old Trafford could be on the verge of welcoming one of footballβs greatest minds.
