Zinedine Zidane wants to bring this four stars to Manchester United



Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has been linked with the Manchester United job to replace Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

The reason behind Zidane being linked with Manchester united is due to the poor start in the current season.


The Red Devils started the season with a 2-1 win over Leicester City, But they would then lose 3-2 to Brighton and get smashed 3-0 by Tottenham.

Manchester United did win their last game vs Burnley 2-0, but despite this, Zidane is still being rumoured to be taking over from Mourinho.

Zidane's top players targets for Manchester United :

According to The Mirror, Zidane has even drawn up a list of players he would want to sign should he succeed Mourinho at Old Trafford.

The first name on Zidane’s list is said to be German and Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos who Zidane will know very well from his time as Real Madrid manager.



The Frenchman is also said to want both Thiago Alcántara and James Rodriguez, However, given Rodriguez went to Bayern Munich while Zidane was in charge at Real Madrid, the Colombian may not be so keen to reunite with his former boss.

Moreover, Zidane is also said to want to bring Uruguay and PSG forward Edinson Cavani to Old Trafford.



Cavani has been at PSG for some time now and has racked up 248 appearances for the French outfit, In those games, Cavani has scored an impressive 172 goals and assisted 31.

Eric Cantona wants this manager to replace Jose Mourinho


Eric Cantona says Jose Mourinho is not the right man for Manchester United and would much better have Pep Guardiola, or himself, as Man united new manager.

United have a balanced start to the 2018-19 Premier League campaign, with six points from their first four games and defeats against Tottenham and Brighton.

That has seen Mourinho placed among the favourites in the betting market for the next top-flight manager to be sacked despite last season's run to second in the table, albeit a healthy distance behind rivals Manchester City.

And Cantona believes the man who guided City to their runaway 2017-18 title would have been a much better appointment for United than Mourinho, whose style of play he is also critical of.

"I like Mourinho. He has a good personality but not for United - they should have Pep Guardiola as coach," Cantona said in an exclusive interview with the Mail on Sunday.



"He should be there, but he is doing magic with that other club. The club I cannot name.

"It is early in the season... too early to tell. Manchester United is a great club and will always be great.

"They will win things, I know they will. But the way they play? Not good. The manager has them playing the wrong way for the fans. No fun, no creativity."

Cantona received a hero's welcome at Old Trafford in June when he played in the Soccer Aid charity match, and he said there would be no chance of defensive football if he was ever asked to take charge of United.

"I would like to coach and if they called me I would go. I would enjoy it. They know where I am. Then we would play creative football again," he added.

"It would be great for the fans, like it was with Alex Ferguson - he allowed players to be creative, treated them as individuals. All felt loved. He was always praising. A good man, a good leader."

Jose Mourinho wants FC Barcelona star in the next transfer window


According to Don Balon, Jose Mourinho wants to sign the 29-year-old star Jordi Alba from FC Barcelona to strengthen his back line in the January transfer window.

In another report (Don Balon), it is mentioned that the speedy full-back is obsessed with a move to Man United taking into consideration his current uncertain situation at the Nou Camp.



Alba is one of the best full-backs in the world. He has won every major trophy with the Catalan . As far as his national career is concerned, Alba has played 66 times for Spain and scored 8 goals.

This season, so far, he has played 3 La Liga games and directly contributed in as many goals (1 goal and 2 assists). His current contract with the club will expire in less than two years (June 2020) and it has a mammoth clause of 150 million euros (£134million).

Besides, France Football reported that Man United are looking to sign French international and Atletico Madrid star Lucas Hernandez, who has a huge release clause of £72million in his contract.

So, as a red devils fans which one you think he will be able to replace Luke Shaw in the rest of season ?

Luke Shaw was considered quitting Football forever after leg break

Luke Shaw was close to lose his right leg

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has revealed he came close to losing his right leg after it was seriously broken in September 2015 and admitted he considered quitting football altogether.

Shaw has started four consecutive Premier League matches for United this season - something he had not achieved since his horrific leg-break suffered playing PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League three years ago.

Since his rehabilitation, Shaw has struggled for first-team football under Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, often facing public criticism from the United manager.

When asked about his recovery, Shaw said: "I'd be lying if I said I didn't sometimes think about stopping playing football, but I had a lot of good friends and family around me and they helped me through it.

"I nearly lost my leg, I was actually really close to losing my leg and I never knew that until six months after when the doctor told me. Of course, if I knew that I would [still] never have stopped, even if he had told me there was a worry, I would have tried [to carry on playing football].

"I want to be playing football, I want to be playing in the biggest games possible, winning trophies - that's my motivation, and like I said I want to be known as one of the best full-backs in the world."

On being told he could have nearly lost his leg, Shaw explained: "At the time, they were thinking about flying me back (from Eindhoven) and if I'd have flown back, I would probably have lost my leg because of the blood clots and stuff in the leg.

"I've got - I don't want to talk about it too much - two scars down the side of my leg where they had to cut it open and pull them out because of how severe it was.

"But I don't really care about that anymore. I feel really strong - and my right leg is exactly as it was before my leg break."

Following his return to form and United's starting XI, Shaw has earned a recall to the England squad from Gareth Southgate, displacing his team-mate Ashley Young who was a mainstay during the World Cup.

Juventus still want to sign Anthony Martial from Manchester United


According to European Paper, Juventus are still hopeful to sign Manchester United forward Anthony Marial on a pre-contract in January.


The french player has not yet been able to earn Jose Mourinho's trust this season and has been struggling to play in regular time all the previous 4 games in premier league this season.

The 22-years-old winger was linked with an exit from Old Trafford with numerous clubs emerging as the potential suitors. Clubs including FC Barcelona were linked and it seemed like he would leave the Manchester-based club this summer.

Now, according to CalcioMercato latest reports, Juventus are still interested in signing this French winger. Earlier, it was reported that Juventus had an eye on Martial. But CalcioMercato’s latest confirms they are still interested.

However, Ed Woodward considers Anthony Martial as highly talented and believes he has what it takes to succeed at the Old Trafford. While Ed Woodward’s decision [reportedly] to table an improved contract hints at Manchester United’s plans to sack Mourinho and bring in Zidane [rumoured] as the coach of the club, it would also help United thwart Juventus’ attempts to sign Martial, as the new contract would see the Frenchman earning 9 million Euros a year.

However, it remains to be seen if Anthony Martial would agree on terms with Manchester United hierarchy when he is unsure about what future holds for their current coach Jose Mourinho, who reportedly has the backing of the club to perform better in the coming weeks.
