Mourinho was so convinced that he would be sacked the morning after that 3-1 defeat away to Liverpool. The biggest one surrounds Paul Pogba, who was not trusted to start in a game that has long been the acid test of the character and ability of United’s players.
A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of 2018/19 season, while United conducts a through recruitment process for a new, full-time manager.

In short, on paper, Zinedine Zidane represents the most obvious track as it could satisfy all parties. And especially United who would ensure, with the former glory of the Blues, the presence of a man more respected than anyone in the world of football, supporters to the players, both by his charisma and his record as that coach and player .
