Petit: Zidane learning English amid Man Utd links

Ex France and Arsenal Petit, the midfielder has offered some inside information on his compatriot as he looks for his next job in management.

Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Zinedine Zidane is “learning English” amid strong links with the top job at Manchester United.

United have endured a poor start to the season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, slipping to sixth in the Premier League table after 11 games – nine points behind leaders Chelsea.

The Red Devils have already suffered four defeats and it has been suggested that Solskjaer is on borrowed time, with former Real Madrid boss Zidane reportedly among those in the frame to succeed the Norwegian.
