I Will join Man United on one condition – Man United sent clear Zinedine Zidane message as Graham Potter stance emerges

Latest Manchester United news ahead of Sunday’s derby at the Etihad against Manchester City

Manchester United face a pivotal fixture in a troubled campaign as they travel to rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

Saturday’s results in the top four race went against Erik ten Hag’s side with both Aston Villa and Tottenham securing wins which puts pressure on United to get a result at the Etihad.

The Red Devils are currently 11 points behind Villa and six behind Spurs.

And a combination of poor results and the arrival of new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has put pressure on Ten Hag as he fights to secure his Old Trafford future. Below is a look at some of the latest media reports surrounding United.

Zidane not interested in United as Ashworth wants Potter

The i report that Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane is ‘highly unlikely’ to accept an offer to become the next Manchester United manager.

They add that former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is a name they are ‘considering’ with potential new United sporting director Dan Ashworth said to be interested, with the pair previously having worked together at Brighton.

According to MEN Sport says: Zidane may have enjoyed a trophy-laden career at Real Madrid but his success with a team that included Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema is not a barometer of the challenge he would face at United.

Make no mistake that the Red Devils face a rebuild and Zidane’s CV doesn’t necessarily provide evidence that he could do this.

Graham Potter is an interesting one, as his success at Brighton would have made him a strong contender for the United job.

However, his struggles at Chelsea are not a great omen for the huge challenge he will face at Old Trafford
