Zinedine Zidane 'is learning English' as rumours over taking Man Utd job continue

And while Petit has been told Zidane is learning English, he doesn’t believe his former teammate is considering United as an option.

“Communication is very important, so if you do not speak the language when you arrive at a club like Manchester United, that could be a big problem,” Petit continued.

“I’ve been told that he has been learning English recently, so I think he knows it’s important for his career, but Zinedine being linked with Manchester United – I don’t believe it, to be honest.

“Of course, he’s a big name but he never played in the Premier League and has very little connection with it, so as I said, I don’t believe it.”
