Zinedine Zidane should replace Jose Mourinho at Man Utd for one reason reveals Wenger
ZINEDINE ZIDANE should replace Jose Mourinho at Manchester United because it’s the only place he can be ‘at the top’.
Craig Burley: Zidane will have a HUGE job to do at Man United
That’s the view of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who believes the Premier League is 'top' place to manage.
Zidane has been linked to a move to England’s top-tier with many claiming he will replace Mourinho.
The Manchester United manager is under pressure after a disappointing start to the season, with the Red Devils sitting sixth in the Premier League after 16 games.
Zidane is currently out of work having left his position as Real Madrid manager just days after guiding the side to a third successive Champions League title.
And Wenger believes Zidane needs to work in England.
"Yes [he should], why not? If you want to work at the top, it has to be England nowadays," claimed Wenger.
"But there are many uncertainties with Brexit and the uncertainty: will the Premier League continue to dominate financially? We'll know soon.
"England is the only country with six clubs that can fight for the championship.
“In all the other countries basically you can say in December who will win the championship and there are some countries, like France, where you can say it in September."
Mourinho is most bookies’ favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
Manchester United’s next game sees them travel to Anfield to play Liverpool on Sunday (4pm).
Mourinho will be in charge for that one and former Red Devils star Paul Scholes has questioned whether Zidane should replace him.
“Is Zidane the right man though?” Scholes recently asked.
“He went in to Real Madrid who had a group of ready made winners already.
“This is a totally different job he would have to be rebuild confidence with a squad that isn’t quite performing.
“He went to Real Madrid with so many great players, it was still difficult but, this would be a whole rebuilding job.”
