Zinedine Zidane Agent Says Manchester United 'Does Not Attract' Manager

Zinedine Zidane's agent has said his client is unlikely to become the next Manchester United manager because the job would not appeal to him.

Alain Migliaccio spoke to JDD to address ongoing speculation Zizou could replace Jose Mourinho as the new Red Devils manager (h/t Le10Sport, via Sport Witness): "Manchester United? I don't think he'll go to England to train. It's less his style. I discussed it with him. It does not really attract him."

Per the report, Mourinho's position at the club is still in question despite Saturday's come-from-behind 3-2 win over Newcastle United.

The Mirror's David McDonnell reported on Friday that Mourinho will be sacked regardless of the result. Mourinho didn't take kindly to that report and similar that have come out lately:

As Sport Witness reported, Zidane has been linked the most with United should the job become available. He's the most high-profile candidate available after guiding Real Madrid to three straight UEFA Champions League titles and walking away at the end of last season.

But there's a strong belief Zidane's next job will not be as manager but rather as a director. Tuttosport reported he's being lined up to replace Beppe Marotta at Juventus, with whom he could work behind the scenes before replacing Massimiliano Allegri should he leave the club (h/t Joe Short of the Express).

Many, including Bleacher Report's Dean Jones, have wondered why Zizou would have any interest in moving to Old Trafford:

The Red Devils have been a moneymaking machine in recent years but have struggled on the pitch since the departure of club legend Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. David Moyes and Louis van Gaal failed to live up to the massive expectations during their time at Old Trafford, and Mourinho seems destined to follow suit.

Zidane left a massive legacy at Real and is expected to take his time before deciding on his next move.

Mourinho is still in charge at Old Trafford heading into the international break and will have two weeks to figure things out if he doesn't get sacked.
