3 reasons why Jose Mourinho must be sacked after the defeat against West Ham

#1 Zinedine Zidane could be the answer to Manchester United's problems

Every new appointment brings its own risks and apprehensions, with some gambles paying off and others backfiring massively. The United board, however, could find a more than adequate replacement in Zinedine Zidane, who will bring a new lease of life to the supporters and the club itself.

Zizou's unprecedented three Champions League wins on the trot put him up there with some of the greatest managers in the history of the game. When he took over the helm at Real, the club were in freefall and looked a shadow of their former selves while Rafa Benitez was in charge. Although Barcelona won the league title that season with a number of games to spare, Zidane galvanised the squad and brought the best out of them for the remaining games which ultimately culminated in a Champions League win against Atletico.

The former Real and Juve midfielder would face a similar task in bringing Manchester United out of the shadow cast by Man City in recent years. He would give the players more freedom and licence to express themselves, whilst demonstrating the tactics needed to survive in the new era of football.
