Zinedine Zidane wants to replace Jose Mourinho as the manager of Manchester United, according to reports.

Zidane left Real Madrid at the end of last season after winning three consecutive Champions League titles, however reportedly wants a swift return to management.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli had wanted Zidane to follow Cristiano Ronaldo to Turin, but L’Equipe report the Frenchman instead has his eye set on England and in particular Manchester United.

The future of Jose Mourinho is currently in limbo following a difficult last season and summer, in which the Portuguese criticised a number of his players and club chief Ed Woodward.

Mourinho slammed the likes of Anthony Martial and Antonio Valencia for not returning to pre-season early enough, and also complained at the club’s lack of ambition in the transfer market.

United completed just three new signings this summer in the form of Lee Grant, Diogo Dalot and Fred, however only the latter of that trio are likely to feature heavily at Old Trafford this season.

Despite such problems however, United got off to a positive start to new season, beating Leicester City 2-1 last Friday in their opening Premier League game.
