Manchester United vow to deliver £179m superstar transfer to Zinedine Zidane as club step up talks with Champions League winner

Manchester United have begun talks with former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane over becoming their long-term replacement for Jose Mourinho.

Following reports from AS today that Zidane is mulling over an offer from United, with sources close to him suggesting he’d like his next job for next season to be in the Premier League, CaughtOffside understands potential transfers have already been discussed between the club and the Frenchman.

Although there was plenty of tension between Mourinho and United over player recruitment, it’s understood that Ed Woodward and other key figures are more willing to back Zidane in the market.

Mourinho was dismissed from his job this week and CaughtOffside understands this decision has been met with almost unanimous relief among players and staff.

There seems to be the feeling that a different manager would be more worth investing in than the Portuguese, who had been given plenty to spend already but failed to get anything like acceptable levels out of many star names like Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku.
