According to reports, one former Real coach would love to take charge at Old Trafford with Jose Mourinho now having got the sack.

Meanwhile, a wantaway PSG star is on the radar of FOUR huge European heavyweights, with a move in January looking likely.

IS ZIZOU MANCHESTER BOUND?
According to talkSPORT’s French journalist Julien Laurens, former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane would love to take the reins at Manchester United head coach now that Jose Mourinho has been axed.

With Mourinho relieved of his duties by the club on Tuesday, Laurens believes his fellow countryman has superb man-management skills ideal for Old Trafford.

Zidane was strongly linked with a move to United earlier this year and now Laurens insists: “He would be tempted – I think he loves the idea.

“For him, the man management is his main quality, his biggest quality.

“He improved a lot at Real Madrid over the two-and-a-half years tactically, and in understanding the game, but where he was so good was managing that dressing room.

“He made everyone, even the smaller players, feel important.”

BLUES EYE WANTAWAY PSG STAR
Chelsea have been given a boost in their pursuit for midfielder Adrien Rabiot as PSG manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the player could leave as early as January.

Tuchel stated Rabiot could leave Paris at the start of 2019 if he does not sign a contract extension before the transfer window shuts.

Rabiot’s contract expires at the end of the season and reports suggest that Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona are keen on the high-maintenance Frenchman.

The 23-year-old has turned down three contract extensions with bosses growing concerned that the midfielder will leave on a free transfer next season.
