# Manchester United: Fans buzzing over Zinedine Zidane manager news

**A number of Manchester United fans have been left buzzing over some managerial news on Zinedine Zidane.**

Writing in his latest piece for [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/manchester-united-stepping-up-bid-for-zinedine-zidane-tft8kn9wq), Duncan Castles has revealed that the Red Devils are ‘stepping up’ their bid to try and lure the Frenchman to Old Trafford, in the hope that he will take over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

They are ‘working to persuade’ Zizou join, but he himself is ‘unsure’ of the proposal at this moment in time. However, the Red Devils hierarchy are ‘hopeful’ that his close relationships with Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane can help to convince him to join.

Solskjaer is [now under pressure](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16683495/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-man-utd-job-status/) as his team sit outside of the Champions League qualification spots in [sixth](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) place, after 5-0 and 2-0 defeats at home to rivals Liverpool and Manchester City respectively in the last month.

There is a worry that he is not getting the best out of the star players in the squad, whereas Zidane of course has worked with the likes of Ronaldo and Varane before at Real Madrid, winning a very impressive [three Champions League titles in a row](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/zinedine-zidane/erfolge/trainer/21284) at the Bernabeu.

He is certainly a star name who [knows how to win](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/zinedine-zidane/erfolge/trainer/21284), and he would surely get the United supporters bouncing again.
