However, Scholes is of the opinion that the task awaiting the former World Cup winner with the Red Devils is totally different to the one one of Real Madrid.
Scholes said on BT Sport: “Is Zidane the right man, though?
“He went in to Real Madrid, who had a group of ready-made winners already.”
He continued: “This is a totally different job; he would have to rebuild confidence with a squad that isn't quite performing.
“He went to Real Madrid with so many great players, it was still difficult, but this would be a whole rebuilding job.”
