Transfer: Zidane makes contacts with Manchester United, wants Mourinho’s job

Former Real Madrid boss, Zinedine Zidane wants to replace Jose
Mourinho at Manchester United.

The Frenchman wants to do his next managerial work in the Premier
League next season and is keeping tabs on Mourinho's situation at Old
Trafford.

Zidane is currently out of work after he resigned as Real Madrid
manager in May just five days after guiding the club to their third
consecutive Champions League trophy.

The 46-year-old also won La Liga with Madrid in 2017, as well as two
Club World Cup trophies during his two-and-a-half years in charge at
the Santiago Bernabeu.

French newspaper, L'Equipe, reports that Zidane was already making
contacts with Manchester United board as he considers taking over
Mourinho.

The newspaper claimed that the World Cup-winning midfielder is
especially keen on managing Manchester United.

Mourinho is under increased pressure to deliver success to United this
season after failing to win a trophy at Old Trafford last term.

The former Chelsea boss, however, has been at odds with United's
hierarchy this summer, primarily over their refusal to sign an
experienced central defender before the transfer window closed last
Thursday.
