Manchester United locate huge Jose Mourinho replacement

Could an exit be on the cards for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United?

Manchester United’s aims for the coming season is to keep up with competition. It looks like their main competitors will be Liverpool and Manchester City, who have both had an impressive transfer window.

However, United may choose to deploy a new manager rather than several new players, as per reports. According to The Sun, should Jose Mourinho leave the club, United want Zinedine Zidane to replace him.

Zidane announced his departure from Real Madrid before the World Cup, and has been out of a job ever since.

Zidane is exactly what United need.

If I were a United fan, I would be licking my lips at this news. Should Mourinho leave, which may be more likely given his recent tantrums, they’ll be getting a more than worthy replacement.

Zidane is an excellent manager, as shown by his time in Madrid. He won three consecutive Champions League titles, along with the La Liga and Supercopa de España.

He did this through immense man-management, making his players feel as though they were worthy to play under him and his system. Obviously, there was the odd player who felt left out *cough* Gareth Bale *cough*.

This appointment may convince Anthony Martial to stay.

One of the players who looks destined to leave United is Anthony Martial. The Frenchman looked to be isolated out by Mourinho, but the appointment of his countryman may do enough convincing for him to stay.

Zidane certainly has what it takes to get the best out of Martial. Should he implement his illustrious system around the young player, United fans will get back on the Martial bandwagon, which is exactly what he needs.

This would save the ‘Mourinho curse’ from striking United, as we all know what happens with players who fail under the Portuguese manager.

Mourinho’s time can go down as a success.

Albeit not quite as illustrious as his Chelsea days, his time with United will leave plenty of memories should he leave this season.

In two seasons at the club, he won three trophies. All of them being in his first season with the club who looked to be on a downwards trajectory.

He could make way to a worthy successor, and I’m sure he won’t appreciate that, but that’s just the Mourinho we know and love.

Do you think Zinedine Zidane is the right man for Manchester United?
