Speaking to HITC, former Rangers and Scotland striker Ally McCoist said: "I am not sure about Roberto De Zerbi, if I am honest with you.
"I think he is doing a good job at Brighton, yes, their form has dipped a little bit and I know they won at the weekend [against Nottingham Forest].
"But Manchester United need someone like a Zinedine Zidane, there you are. Erik ten Hag is still in a job, that's the first thing I have to say.
"I don't like doing that, but unless you have got a plan, which clearly Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have, then there is no use talking about it."
Jim Ratcliffe is said to be open to a managerial change at Man United this summer with De Zerbi named as one of potential replacements.
As for Zidane, the Frenchman — who doesn't even speak English — has never expressed interest in working in the Premier League.
