Manchester United's pursuit of Zinedine Zidane has reportedly been snubbed as the Frenchman has reached a verbal agreement to succeed Didier Deschamps as national team head coach after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Zidane has been linked with United for years, but it appears he was waiting for Deschamps to step down, a move that will be officially confirmed once their World Cup campaign ends.
Although both parties are yet to agree on the staff, Zidane hasn't signed a contract, and the French federation's head, Philippe Diallo, has hinted that he knows who the successor is.
Zidane's presence in the France squad will be an iconic moment, and the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele could learn a lot from him.
