Zinedine Zidane, the legendary French midfielder, has been consistently linked with the vacant managerial position at Manchester United. While his arrival would undoubtedly excite fans of the Red Devils, there is a growing concern among supporters that his appointment could potentially overshadow the development of young talent like Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho, a promising young winger, has been making waves at Old Trafford with his electrifying performances. His pace, skill, and eye for goal have made him a fan favorite and a key player for Erik ten Hag. However, there are fears that if Zidane were to take over, the Frenchman's tendency to favor experienced players could see Garnacho relegated to the bench.

During his tenure at Real Madrid, Zidane often faced criticism for his handling of talented young players. James Rodríguez, a highly-rated Colombian midfielder, was one such example. Despite his impressive performances at the 2014 World Cup, Rodríguez struggled to secure a regular starting place under Zidane. Many believe that Zidane's preference for more experienced players hindered Rodríguez's development at the Bernabéu.

While it's important to note that every manager has their own style and preferences, the parallels between Zidane's treatment of James Rodríguez and the potential situation of Alejandro Garnacho are striking. If Zidane were to arrive at Manchester United, it would be crucial for him to find a way to balance the needs of the team with the development of young talents like Garnacho.

As the speculation surrounding Zidane's future continues to swirl, Manchester United fans will be watching closely to see how the club handles this delicate situation. The decision to appoint Zidane could have a profound impact on the long-term success of the club and the careers of its young players.
