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.
