Zinedine Zidane Is Favourite To Be Appointed The Next Manchester United Manager

It's the question on so many lips right now. Who will replace Jose Mourinho as the next permanent manager of Manchester United?

It is believed that Michael Carrick will be acting as interim until a new temporary manager is appointed, with an external appointment expected within 48 hours.

So who's favourite to take the job?

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is way behind the pecking order at 20/1 with some bookies, which may surprise some.

Former Manchester United centre-back Laurent Blanc is among the favourites at 9/1, as well another former player Michael Carrick, who is 11/10 with some bookies.

Back in September, It was reported that United held initial talks with Zinedine Zidane to replace Jose Mourinho as manager.

The paper claim Toni Kroos, Thiago Alcantara, James Rodriguez and Edinson Cavani top the list.

It's an interesting group of targets, especially as most people would argue none of them is exactly what the club needs right now, even if they are all world class players.
