Suuure he did... But I'm pretty sure Zidane would love to get the United job. If he really isn't go after it, then he should prolly tell his reps to quit talking to United and accept Juventus' offer. I think they want him as CEO or something... That's a huge step up imo.
What job could he possibly be holding out for? If any manager gets offered the United job they should take the honor as there's not many other bigger teams and he's already managed Real. The only thing he may be concerned about is his own reputation. It's much easier coming in at the start of the season where you can build your own squad, buy the players you want and bond with the current squad. At the moment he has to turn around an under-performing United and that won't be easy and what happens if they finish badly at the end. Will he then be disgraced and people calling for his sacking?
Read my post again.
And yup, it's a job every manager is longing for. But it's also becoming a curse. If I'm a manager with lots of prospects, no way am I gonna take a job that could ruin my career.
Anyway, besides Zidane, who else is on the list? Conte? Luis Enrique?
