While Manchester United are unsure about Erik Ten Hag continuing next season, the club is unsure if bringing Zinedine Zidane would affect the future of Marcus Rashford. The English attacker has struggled this season with Man United, and it is no secret that he could potentially leave the club this summer, something unimagined in the past. David Ornstein reports that Manchester United would be open to selling Rashford, but neither the player nor the club want to part ways. Zidane's potential arrival could affect things if the French coach does not feel like using him in the future.

ESPN reports that Manchester United would want a fee of $87.4 million for Rashford this summer, but the club does not expect any club to offer that valuation. Rashford has made 40 appearances for Manchester United this season in all competitions, where he has eight goals and five assists. In 31 Premier League matches, Rashford has seven goals and two assists. It has been a difficult season for him and Manchester United, as the team is 6th in the league table with 54 points.
This season comes as a shock to many fans since last season was his best with Manchester United. Last season, Rashford played 50 matches in all competitions, scoring 30 goals and providing ten assists. The English attacker scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 35 Premier League matches last season.
Zidane's stats as a coach
Zidane only coached for Real Madrid in his managerial career, but he has found success. The French manager has coached Real Madrid on two occasions, from 2016 to 2018 and 2019 to 2021. In the first run with Los Blancos as manager, Zidane coached 149 games, where he won 105 games, drew 28, and lost 16. Zidane won three consecutive Champions League trophies with Real Madrid in the first spell. In the second spell, he managed 114 games, where he won 69 games, drew 25, and lost 20.
