Well this zidane case is very unique ... he seems had a strange interest and a bit moody. He leave real madrid at his peak coaching career & won a Lot of things that time , having multiple crazy offer on the table after that and yet he refused to comeback to coaching for no reason .

He won't in rush taking any job ... he could go anywhere with his track record.

It is possible that at an old age, Zidane does not want to train a club he doesn't like, while if a club is liked by Zidane, it might be easy for Zidane to accept, but this does not provide a guarantee to be able to get Zidane back into the world of football, so far Zidane is still enjoying his old age with lots of money and being able to go anywhere without any pressure from the world of football.

He is typical a perfectionist person.

A guy with full of grateful and have less ambition , when he decided to leave real madrid at his peak performance as a coach he says that he just want to have a life outside football thingy and with his earnings during the successful campaign with real madrid , it's more than enough for him to living the life for the rest of his life. That's how zidane make these decision , hard to convince him back.

Zinedine Zidane has newly turned down an offer by United States. I'm not surprised at all.

Because he hasn't been thinking of being the manager of any club for a long time. To be honest it would be better to see him managing a club in Europe rather than a national team. I remember his successes with Real Madrid very well. They had great a few years with Zidane full of Champions League championships as well. It is impressive to watch a tactician like Zidane to manage a big team. Maybe it wouldn't be Real Madrid again but I wouldn't say no to a different big team this time.

I don't seem to understand what Zidane really wants, is it to coach a country side team or to coach a club team because I read some days after the world cup that Zidane was considering taking up the coaching role for the french national team and later head the current coach was to be retained. Something tells me Zidane is just looking for an already made team to take over with less stress.

It's still very difficult to see on Zidane's radar where he will go, of course, all of that is difficult to know even with the previous rumors also not happening and what I know Zidane wants to take a longer break from training but the news out there is always a lot of things related This is so crowded again in the media public.

The French Federation has extended the contract with Didier Deschamps, meaning that Zidane's radar in the national team is no longer there, and maybe later he will be linked to several clubs, maybe PSG or other big teams, only that Zidane will choose according to the criteria he wants.

Maybe he doesn't fancy to work with this team. I feel he will prefer to work for the French team which is his home team but the French team still had to retain the present the current coach.

although he still occasionally plays for Ten Hag, this season he has been mostly on the bench. Ten Hag already has important names at the back. maybe it would be good for him to leave Manchester United for his career. but in my opinion, he will stay there for some time. look at his contract which is still long. there are still many other options for MU to play him when the backline is experiencing injury or card accumulation problems.

There was one game once and it wasn't long ago I forgot which team Manchester United played against, there was the name Harry Maguire, but Ten hag instead put Luke Shaw at center back and I don't think that makes sense, then Tyrell Malacia became left back. But seeing the current condition of the Red Devils it seems that the option to stay is quite good for Maguire, even though he will not be included as a substitute later, maybe it is better for him to immediately correct what is wrong with him and Ten Hag can give him confidence again.

Maguire is a player for England's main national team and it's been a while since every English player has always been the priority at Manchester United. But the arrival of Erik Ten Hag was considered brave so not a few of Maguire's matches were postponed. In contrast to other coaches, before Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United, Maguire performed poorly and was always used as the main player. So I saw a firmness in Erik Ten Hag, he really controlled Manchester United for the sake of mutuality. Moreover, even if Maguire leaves, I don't think it will have too much impact on the stability of Manchester United's game.

Indeed, the previous coach Solskjaer spoiled Harry Maguire too much, even though everyone and fans also knew that his performance was very bad, but Solskjer still insisted on making Maguire the main line-up. But indeed, after all control is held by Ten Hag he will not hesitate to all his players, whether they are senior or young, all get the same treatment, this is all for the good of the team and not for just one person.

As for become PSG coach, I haven't read any news that mentioned about Zidane will go to PSG. but I have often read about PSG's interest. Zidane has been linked with French national team, but there is nothing happens so far. In other news, it's not PSG, but online media writing if Juventus is the options will choose if he returns to coaching. We'll see, if Zidane become coach of the French national team or Juventus happens, it means media is not bringing up old issues again. Because news about Zidane is interesting to read, so there is a possibility this issue just for traffic reason. Grin

News of Zidane is being discussed. Not because of plans to coach PSG, the Brazilian National Team or the issue of coaching the France National Team, but because of the FFF President's statement in an interview that was considered very appropriate to be issued to a French football legend who managed to deliver the World Cup trophy and the European Cup trophy.

On Twitter, there was a lot of support for Zizou after Le Graet's statement. No exception, Kylan Mbappe also voiced that what was said by Le Graet was inappropriate. Even Djibril Cisse wrote on his personal Twitter account with the sentence;
"Mr legraët
Un peu de respect pour Mr Zidane svp
Vous vous croyez ou la"

I personally also feel that Le Graet does not deserve to issue a statement to the figure of Zidane.

Although Choupo-Moting's contract finishes next season if I'm not wrong but still I don't think he's going to be the right fit for Manchester United. So far even with Bayern Munich, he has not been that much consistent even after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.

Another thing is that he is a mediocre-level striker which a team like Manchester United might not like. They need a striker who can score on a regular basis and Choupo-Moting is not something like that. I think they should try to buy some other player instead of him.

I believe Manchester United are desperately in need of a natural striker who can fill in the number 9 position or departed Ronaldo. Choulo-Moting might not be the perfect option for that position in the long run but at the moment he can fill in until the end of the season and add strength to Manchester United's attack. As long as he can be converting chances and scoring goals I think he wouldn't be a bad signing in the main time.

But the problem is, Bayern Munich still need his services before they bring in newcomers. Nagelsmann still needs Choupo-Moting's services, at least until this season ends. after all, Bayern do not yet have a replacement if Choupo-Moting leaves in January.
Choupo-Moting is not an ideal option for United as a pure striker, but Ten Hag could use his services until the next summer transfer window. but, once again I say. apparently, this scenario is not going to happen. the reason is, there have been many center forwards who have been linked with MU so far.

Reportedly even, Man United is rumored to be borrowing young Atletico Madrid striker, Joao Felix, other rumors United are rumored to be borrowing Oliver Giroud from AC Milan. well, the latest rumors are that Manchester United wants to sign Memphis Depay and Wout Weghort. I don't believe that this rumor is true, but it looks like Ten Hag must quickly bring in a pure striker to answer the team's current needs.

My advise to Harry Maguire is for him to leave Manchester United if he has the opportunity. He really got a bad season with the club last year and an average Manchester United fan doesn't like Maguire.
There's no player who can prosper where he is not loved. That was the problem of Fernando Torress.
Maguire is lucky he had a very good world cup outing, with that his outstanding performance, clubs can come for him.

Friendly Advice there from an average Manchester United fan to Harry Maguire and I'm jumping on it and also I'm support of what you've said. It's not that I hate Harry Maguire, it's not that I think he is overrated though, but I feel like he is over protected even if he makes lapses in the defense, really ready to get him bashed is Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand and Patrick Evra. Scholes ans Gary Neville will never open them mouths to say anything against him.

Harry Maguire is such a sluggish player, and his lack of pace makes it difficult for him to carry out his defending duties himself, he hangs so much on the ball, every good Coach will drop him for there defenders, no matter him being Captain, Erik Ten Hag has dropped him, and I'm so sorry to say he's not making it up into the starting eleven so quick.

He's not a typical Manchester United player, I feel like in the history of Manchester United defender's he's worst, no wining and fighting spirit too dull to be a captain, not smart, not intelligent he's just big for nothing with his moronic looks which tells me how tired and scared he is already. News says he stays with Manchester United until the end of the season.

He is not even getting that regular spot so far. Its either Martial up front with Rashford playing behind him or Rashford up front followed by 3 attacking midfielders. So far, the last news was that they are still targeting Cody Gakpo though but I dont think they'll going to be able to sign him and there isnt that many options left for January transfer

Cody Gakpo signed for Liverpool already, he had his debut this week in the cup vs Wolves - so no way he'll sign for United anytime soon.
The transfer was worth a bit less than 40 million Euros, so a great piece of business by LFC - at least at first glance.

Maguire don't have any places in Manchester United starting line up it because his own fault and at the beginning of season you might be still remember Ten Hag has giving chances to him playing as regular player even Ten Hag has decide to make him as the captain but he cannot pay Ten Hag trust with performing poor and he did some blunder which makes Manchester United lose and now this team already comfortable to playing each week without him so if he want to playing regularly again then moved to other clubs could be good decision for Maguire but about his rumour to Aston Villa recently Manchester United representative has been reject this news that they said at least in the near future Maguire won't leave Manchester United

As a matter of fact, if Harry Maguire does actually leave Manchester United, it will be really positive for the club. At the moment, he is not being useful to Manchester United in any way. It is worth mentioning that he is actually only useful for the England national team, not for Manchester United. And him not being a regular in the Manchester United squad is probably one of the most beneficial things that have happened recently for Manchester United. The situation at Manchester United is improving at the moment. It is my hope that this improvement is going to continue in the future. I really hope that this improvement is not something temporary.

I even see him always being the scapegoat for Manchester United's defeats last season, and it's only natural that many people think he was the cause of the defeat, because he often makes mistakes that end up threatening his own goal, and it's not even rare that it turns into a goal.
But will he be better off leaving Manchester United? I would rather suggest that he continues to improve his game and show those who underestimate him that he can be relied upon in the game. That's what he had to do.

the issue is Maguire is going to Aston Villa but in fact, MU refuses to do that, they claim they still need Maguire's services on the team, even though Ten Hag prefers to play Martinez and Varane

another issue MU opens the door for any team that wants to borrow Maguire until the end of this season so that he doesn't spend too much time on the bench which will certainly affect his further performance

He has concrete reasons why he didn't accept the big offers. The only thing we can assume about him rejecting this offer can be because of age factor.
Maybe at this point of life , he doesn't not want to stress himself, this should be his reasons for him to reject 3 offers like this.

50 years old is not old age for a coach, he is just very selective in choosing which team he will train, he was once rumored to really want to be able to train the French national team but the FFF has extended Didier Deschamp's contract so the opportunity is now closed, many clubs have definitely wanted him to be a coach so after a few years break from coaching the opportunity for him to return to coaching a club was quite open

I think he can get teams and he cannot get really good teams to coach for if he wants to. But I think he did not want to coach just any team. He wanted to coach a good team which will be able to bring him success. And that’s why he is waiting and waiting for the right moment and also for the right team as well.

Right now he has no chance with France. France has renewed the contract of their previous coach. As far as I know, he is actually wanted by a lot of clubs. But he is not really interested in those. Otherwise, we could have already seen him working as a coach.

[...]but the problem is that as you said there are some main players who don't like him.

Actually I meant Maguire fallen out of ten Haag's preference as central defender in his first team lineup. But anyway, main headline is as of now no talks ongoing between the clubs. Possible that maybe Villa starts showing interest later. Villa do need a strong central defender and I think they are not gonna hurry things up and make a wrong signing. Although would have been music to ears for United fans if Maguire leaving the club had happened, guess he is gonna stick for a while now.
