England football club Manchester United must shifted his focus from Ruben Amorim to Zinedine Zidane, claimed the team's legendary midfielder Paul Scholes in an interview with "Mirror", reported BTA.
"The Red Devils" were left without a manager on Monday when they sacked Erik ten Haag after a string of poor results.
In the last two days, the British media have speculated that United are in advanced negotiations with Portuguese Sporting Lisbon and are ready to pay the buyout clause of their coach Amorim. Zidane, on the other hand, is a free agent after retiring from his position at the Spanish colossus Real Madrid in 2021.
"Amorim sounds interesting, but too risky. His team has good style and has been rumored for some time to take on City. That should speak volumes for his potential," Scholes said.
"However, most such coaches have mostly been at clubs where expectations are not so high. Thomas Frank is an example of this. He may be a good coach, but the expectations at Brentford are nowhere near what is wanted at Manchester United.
"I was a big fan of Thomas Tuchel, but he is no longer available. He has led elite clubs and won significant trophies. Ten Haag's replacement should have that on his resume. Manchester United is among the biggest clubs in the world and it should employ the best, winning the most important trophies. Zidane is such a person. However, I am not sure how good his English is and if he even wants to come to England. He has not spoken about this issue.
Before the board decides on a new United manager, the team will be led by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
