Anthony Martial's wife appears to 'like' TikTok post linking Zinedine Zidane with Man Utd

Anthony Martial's wife has appeared to 'like' a message on social media linking Zinedine Zidane with the Manchester United job.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's position at the club has come under scrutiny once again following United's 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Many of his critics feel the Norwegian is not the right man for the job and the Red Devils need a higher calibre of manager for the club to reach their peak.

One person who has been naturally linked with the job is Zidane who is currently out of work after leaving Real Madrid this summer.

The Frenchman hasn't been in management for long but has already made a name for himself after helping the La Liga side to win three Champions League titles in a row.

And Martial's wife Melanie appears to be keen on the former Juventus star succeeding Solskjaer after she 'liked' a message on TikTok suggesting United's fortunes would turn around if Zidane arrived at Old Trafford.

A Man Utd fan account noticed her 'like' a post that said "the sun will shine on us again when Zidane arrives."

Martial has been surplus to requirements under Solskjaer this season as the Norwegian has opted to play the likes of Mason Greenwood, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho ahead of him.

The club insists Solskjaer has their full support following the disappointing loss to Villa at the weekend.

ESPN claim that Old Trafford chiefs believe that he is the man to take the club forward.

The 48-year-old was handed a new three-year contract in the summer as executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward backed him to guide United to silverware.

A statement read: "We significantly strengthened the squad over the summer, with the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Tom Heaton.

"These signings have demonstrated our continued ability to attract some of the world's best footballers to Old Trafford, and our firm commitment to helping Ole deliver success on the pitch.

"We were delighted to welcome back Cristiano to the club, along with Raphael, Jadon and Tom, to further reinforce the progress that our first team has been making under Ole.

"We have been clear in our strategy to build a squad with a blend of top-class recruits and homegrown talent, comprising a balance of youth and experience, with the aim of winning trophies and playing attacking football the Manchester United way."
