- He is capable of cup glory delivery in months if not just years and he has a cup under United
- His appointment looks like a sure bet for United in Champions League. He can return The Red Devils cup glory in Champions League
- Zidane is such a big name that will boost United fanhood and even create morale among the players
- He is no doubt going to poach top players into United starting line-up. With him it is easy to bring likes of Modric among others
- Another key advantage, Zidane is another big bet for Red Devils winning the EPL cup after trophyless years
- He is the best option available currently in the market
- Zidane is also naturally loved and accepted by United fans. He will have the much needed support
- A top club like Manchester United, no doubt it needs a top manager like Zidane who is also a former top player and a top manager
- United and Real Madrid share fans, this will be a better opportunity for Zidane fans in Spain and those in London
10 Cons of appointing Zidane at United
- His true coaching colours have never been exploited, he walked straight to Real Madrid unlike other managers who started low and grew big
- He was used to manage top class players such as Luka Modric, Christiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale unlike at United where he will have to deal with unlikely players such as Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Romelu Lukaku
- He does not have talisman such as the ones he had in Spain- Ronaldo
- He is likely not to stay at United, he might leave even before two years are over
- Zidane is also a top creme manager who does not believe in bringing up talent but rather exploiting finished products
- He does not have experience in managing, he has only a CV with Real as a coach
- Manchester United needs someone to built it and that might not be Zidane, he will come in and go leaving the team on its knees
- Zidane will demand a crazy pay and salary down his pocket, deepening down the United finance coofer
- Similarly, Zidane would need crazy traffer kit that would shake the transfer Window. With modern football huge spending is not equal to winning trophies
- He’s new to EPL, a very unique league on its own such that a promoted club such as Leicester City went on to win a league. In Spain only three teams dominate- Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
