Erik ten Hag has been on the hot seat pretty much all season long, and with Manchester United not in the running for a Champions League spot the club could decide to look for another manager this summer.

Given the stature of the club, many huge names would be linked to the job should it become available, but a former player says one name stands out above the rest.

Speaking to TVSportGuide, former Red Devils forward Dwight Yorke explained why he thinks two-time Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane would be the ideal choice to replace Ten Hag if the club elects to move on from the Dutch manager.

"I don't think Zinedine Zidane would dominate with Man United, but he'd get them back to where they should be in the league table," Yorke said. "With Zidane coming to the club, it would generate belief in the club to win another league title.

"Zidane has proved what he can do at Real Madrid, he has all the star qualities to do it at Man United. You see names like Gareth Southgate being linked to Man United, but it's a different ball game when you manage a club of this size.

"You see what can unfold at that football club, and Zidane would be the one who can handle it and move the club forward. The rest of the managers would get eaten up alive, there is a lack of elite managers in the world at the moment."
