In many ways, this Manchester United squad is suited to Zinedine Zidane's managerial style.
Zidane's Real Madrid side was a squad packed with superstars, and the Frenchman did an admirable job there during his two spells. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane will be no strangers to Zidane. The duo played an important role in the legendary midfielder's Los Blancos side.
Zidane has also admitted his admiration for French midfielder Paul Pogba in the past. Pogba was linked with Real Madrid heavily during Zidane's time as manager there, but a move failed to materialize. Zidane's ability to get the best out of a star squad makes him ideal for the Manchester United managerial role.

There are pros and there are cons to appointing Antonio Conte as Manchester United manager.
Conte is a mercurial character who demands success and settles for no less from his team. However, his personality also makes him a difficult man to deal with, as Chelsea and Inter Milan have found out in recent years.
On the other hand, the Italian is one of the best managers in world football. He has won league titles with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan, and is renowned for his tactical brilliance. Conte's style of play may not be well received by Manchester United fans. But his winning mentality may be something that is the need of the hour for the Red Devils.
