Saha: Zidane the best choice for Man United
    2018-12-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

FORMER Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Zinedine Zidane is the best choice to replace Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

United authorities are on the hunt for a permanent replacement for manager Mourinho, who was sacked by the Premier League giants last week.

Club favorite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stepped in on a caretaker basis until the end of the season, with United reportedly keen to lure Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to Manchester in 2019-20.

Zidane – who led Real Madrid to three consecutive Champions League titles before leaving the LaLiga side ahead of the 2018-19 season – has also been linked.

In an interview with Omnisport, Saha backed former France teammate Zidane to succeed at the Theater of Dreams.

“For me, I am a supporter of Zidane in relation to the man,” Saha said. “He was an exceptional player, the coach, there is no equivalent.

“In communication he has made a lot of progress. When I hear him talking, it’s incredible.

“He breathes football, he is a passionate person, who has all the qualities to be respected. He knows how to balance attack and defense. “At Real Madrid, he had three offensive monsters, and he has to make the link with the defense. It’s huge.

“For me it’s the best choice for United. I think he will have the support of the supporters, the staff, the president because he deserves it. And we’re going to give him time.”

Solskjaer led United to a 5-1 rout of Cardiff City on Saturday — the first time the club had scored five goals in a league game since Alex Ferguson’s final match in 2013. United remains sixth but only eight points adrift of the Champions League places ahead of their Boxing Day meeting at home with Huddersfield Town.(SD-Agencies)
