Zidane would be a dream appointment for Manchester United fans

Surely it is only a matter of time before Zinedine Zidane makes his return to football management.

The World Cup-winning star shocked the world when he left Real Madrid in the summer, having successfully guided the Spanish giants to a third successive Champions League finish, and it didn't take long for his name to start being mentions with regards to the Old Trafford hot-seat.

Zidane worked wonders at Madrid, and while his final season in charge of the club saw Los Blancos struggle to keep up with Barcelona in La Liga, they still managed to retain their Champions League trophy, defeating Liverpool 3-1 in a pulsating final in Kiev.

One of the biggest criticisms levelled against Mourinho in recent months is that his tactics are dated and that he has lost touch with the modern game. Zidane's Madrid side were famous for their exciting, attacking approach to the game and he could be just what the former Premier League champions need right now.
