Zinedine Zidane has met with Manchester United ambassador Mikael Silvestre on holiday as he continues to be linked with the Old Trafford manager's job.
The former Real Madrid coach is out of work after leaving the Bernabeu last summer following three Champions League wins on the spin.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is the bookmakers' favourite, followed by interim Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Zidane.
The Frenchman set tongues wagging after former United favourite Mikael Silvestre uploaded a picture of the pair on vacation in Dubai on Friday afternoon.
Silvestre, who made more than 350 appearances for the Red Devils, still represents the club in an ambassadorial role.
He wrote on Instagram: "Catching up with some friends and the one and only Zidane. Best 2018 manager?"
United chief Ed Woodward has received a number of job applications from some of the world's best football managers, but it is unknown whether Zidane has thrown his hat into the ring.

People keep saying Zidane is the best choice but he had good chemistry with Real Madrid because he used to play there so that's partially a reason he managed 3 UCLs in a row but he's never played with United so the chemistry there might not be so good but if Solskjaer can keep up the good work I don't see why he doesn't deserve the job on a permanent basis

Looks like Zidane secretly wants the job after all[Spittongue][Spittongue] but. I personally think Poch is the best man for the job considering his exploits with low budget at Spurs and his EPL experience while Zidane on the other hand resign from a very successful spell at Real Madrid after 2 and half years( the most successful spell in football in recent football history) and what I want for Manchester United is a long term serving coach and I think Poch will likely stay longer than Zinedine Zidane will

To me, I prefer Ole or poch to zedin because when you take Ole, he played for man united and set records in the club under fugason and he will need to work hard to improve the club better than Sir Alex fagason did. pochetino is an experience coach in English premiere league for many years and his tactics used in upbringing players is so excellent Seen by many people in the world so no doubt about him and he will even need to do bether in man united than he did in TOT. in order to get very good name as the best coach in the world while zidan, have never had a close relationship with man u or in English premiere so I can say he will not have that full commitment in the club. Try to remember his quitting from Real Madrid so abrupt that is unprofessional. He can easily do that in Manchester United. I strongly say NO for zidan as coach manager in man u.

Lets see how Ole does and appoint Ole coz he knows united playing style id say Ole will be the better option look at our playing style already we didnt come close to this traditional playing style of united in 5years Ole did not just improved the team he know how to play certain individual lads and get the best out of them its only been two games but two good games we if Ole keeps it up how r we gonna be by next season i have missed the manchester united we use to be and i see great promise in Ole era

poch and Ole seem to be the long term solution than zidane. Poch is more tactical, rational and entertaining than zidane that has no premier league experience. I say YES to POCH!!! up united
