Zidane won two LaLiga titles and three Champions Leagues during his time as boss of Los Blancos.
He has regularly been linked with a return to management and reports from Foot Mercato claim he is on Man Utd’s radar.
They say that Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe dreams of hiring Zidane should he axe Erik ten Hag.
However, journalist Julien Laurens is convinced that the 51-year-old icon would have no interest in moving to Old Trafford.
He told RMC Sport: “I’ve always been told that the language barrier in terms of his English, which he doesn’t speak and doesn’t necessarily want to learn, has always been an obstacle to him arriving in the Premier League.
“I don’t think he likes life in England either.
“He didn’t want to come as a player and nor does he want to come as a manager.”
There have been reports suggesting only the jobs at Bayern Munich, his former club Juventus and the French national team would tempt Zidane back to work.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the season could decide whether Ten Hag remains at Man Utd or gets the sack.
They remain in the FA Cup after beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 last night and are still in the hunt for a Champions League place.
United currently sit sixth in the table and face bitter rivals Manchester City next on Sunday.
Should Ten Hag leave the club in the summer, ex-Chelsea boss Graham Potter is supposedly a leading candidate.
