Breaking news: Man Utd owners the Glazers have a new reason to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of Watford

 Ahead of Manchester United’s Premier 

League clash with Watford, the Glazers now have

 a new reason to sack Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. And

 that’s because Zinedine Zidane appears to be 

warming to the idea of taking over at Old Trafford, 

less than a year on from his departure from 

Real Madrid . And with the Frenchman tempted,

 the Red Devils would be wise to wield the 

axe and bring a serial winner to the Premier 

League.

The Red Devils have lost six of their last 

12 matches, exiting the Carabao Cup and falling

 away in the race for the Premier League title

 in the process.

And that’s despite the United hierarchy 

backing the Norwegian with the huge signings 

of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano 

Ronaldo during the summer transfer window.

Some members of the United board feel 

Solskjaer deserves time to turn the situation 

around, despite others believing a change of 

manager is required as soon as possible.

And with the Daily Record claiming Zidane 

is warming to the idea of managing United, the 

Glazers now have a new reason to make a change.

There’s no denying Solskjaer has made progress

 with this United team.

He finished third during his first full season 

at the helm, with Bruno Fernandes helping 

then finish behind only Liverpool and 

Manchester City.

And United ended up second last term, with

 Solskjaer’s side bouncing back after a stuttering 

start to the campaign.

But with Zidane now keen on the prospect 

of taking over at Old Trafford, the Glazers would

 be wise to show ambition by changing things up.

Solskjaer has never had the credentials for this 

job, with just stints with Molde and Cardiff on 

his CV.

But Zidane, across his two stints at Real Madrid

, has shown he’s one of the best managers in the

 game.

He would bring silverware to the club, you’d

 expect. Especially if his record at the Bernabeu 

if anything to go by.

The 49-year-old won three Champions League 

titles on the trot during his first spell at the club,

 beating the likes of Juventus, Atletico Madrid 

and Liverpool in finals in the process.

And he also claimed the La Liga title on two 

occasions, in 2017 and 2020 respectively.

Zidane also made Real an enterprising side, 

building on the foundations of Carlo Ancelotti.

Los Blancos were attacking more often than not,

 often blitzing their opponents with Cristiano 

Ronaldo particularly majestic.

And he also blooded young players, too, 

with midfielder Federico Valverde a particularly

 big success.

Zidane is on a different level to Solskjaer as 

a manager and, though his lack of Premier League

 experience is a minus, his current stance 

makes him worth pursuing.

And whether that actually happens, with 

Solskjaer expected to keep his job for this weekend’s

 match with Watford, is something only time 

will tell.

Zidane was recently urged to consider the 

United job by former France boss Raymond 

Domenech, meanwhile, who feels Ronaldo could 

be a powerful bait when it comes to taking over.

"What job is he made for when he’s been a 

multiple Champions League winner with Real 

Madrid?” he said.

“What’s left? [Manchester] City, United,

 Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich? 

There’s five or six clubs.

“After that, if he takes another club, they’re 

a step down for him, for someone of his level.

“There comes a point when you can’t let that 

possibility slip.

He’s also got, with Ronaldo, a direct relay, 

a translator from Spanish to English.

"He’ll also get away from people who say he 

only achieved what he did because it was Real

 Madrid because he knew the players and he’ll

 prove he’s really a top manager.

“That’s why I tell him: go for it. Or stay in your

 comfort, but I don’t think that’s his desire.”
