Like this idea a lot but isn't he going to be Juve's DoF starting October ? Attacking coach that would attract top players and help us keep the likes of Pogba.

Oh God no. It would be an unmitigated disaster. He doesn't have the best squad in the world here; he'd need to do more than just be 'inspirational.'
Would never win the League with him... so just cause you know ''Attacking'' football is coming with him you want him here? And before you say it, CL is out reach too, can't ride your luck with this lot, but you can be incredibly lucky with the best squad of players as he was several times.
It begins.
Winning the CL 3 times in a row takes more than luck. Feel like you don't appreciate how unprecedented that is.
Give it to him ASAP
Do not want.
please no 
go to PSG
go to PSGNah didn't you read? Ballague said he's tactically hopeless so everyone on here jumped on that bandwagon. Everything Real have done in the last three years is solely luck.
Well, he'll have to beg.
It's strange as he's becoming DOF at Juventus
Inspiration looks like what we need from a manager. He can't be that bad at the other stuff.
Should enable us to say '6 times la' in no time!
On a more serious note, I am fairly certain he is not the right choice for United at this time.

According to Ballbag he is guilty of success while not being Spanish.
He has the greatest side in Europe on paper. 3 in a row is amazing but his league form in the final season is equally worrying. He's not the right man to bring us domestic consistency and too big a risk.
Is it official?
No thanks. I respect what he’s done at Madrid, his CL run is incredible but it’s a completely different job here.
I’m not sure how he’d handle building a squad, at Madrid he had the team already, even his youngster were amazing.

He’ll have all the resources he needs here to succeed. Just has to ensure he gets the best out of a lot of players with great potential. We are 3 players away from being dominate.
He's won the CL 3 times, but it's difficult to know how much that was him and how much it was the world class players he had.
Getting the Pep treatment, will probably have to win the league a few times with Juve/abroad and then reject us for others to rate him as a manager.
What is there to build here?
Indeed, I wonder how many more coaches we'll be linked with this season? I hope Big Sam's in the mix at some point.
As for Zidane I agree with the reservations of others. He obviously has something, aside from the great squad he inherited at Real, but I'd question whether he's up to the huge job we have here to improve the squad and our style of play while taking on five rivals domestically and being realistically away from the top table in Europe.
Well Messi didn’t win it whilst he was in charge did he.
How can you say no to this idea!
As I mentioned in other threads. Zidane jumped ship as soon as Real needed a rebuild. Their league campaign was worse than ours with their superior squad in comparison last season.
Real are on the turn and need to re-build, he wasnt ready for that. They have a foundation and still have a gang of 30 somethings to keep them ticking over until a few more come in. 3 of our lads would start for Real and that's it. We have a much bigger task at hand here, building from the ground up after some very average transfers in the last 2 fergie windows to the disastrous Moyes spell and very poor LvG transfer spell.
This is not a turnkey club. Zidane may very well be a good coach, but isnt what we need right now at all.

we're not going to win anything under Jose anyway and he'll probably be gone by the end of this season so why the feck not?
Every rumour, every campaign to unsettle Jose and the team makes me hope he succeeds even more.
As a United fan I want him to do well full stop because I don't enjoy seeing the team fail. However, on a personal level, I'd also love us to win the title so he could shove it back in a few faces for his own sake.

It's funny how the exact same arguments were being made after pep left barca and bayern.
ABUM
ANYBODY but Mourinho!! Bring him on ..

Pep didn't implode in the league.
Nothing. Our squad is amazing we’ve got the quadruple coming this year.
At real the CL has always been the main focus and pep didn't have anyone to compete with till mourinho came to the league.
Literally exactly the same things being said. As if Zidane and Pep are incapable of working out what a team needs and telling someone to buy them.
Indeed, Zidane has shown at Madrid he's more than just having a good set of players
That being said we're a broken club and I feel he's probably still too raw as a manager to take on a job as big as ours
They came third 3 points behind Atletico, who had a great season, and 17 behind Barca, who had a fantastic domestic season. Barca only lost one game. That's hardly a stick to beat Zidane with considering they won the league the year before and came second by a point in 2016 (Zidane was only in charge for 6 months).
Pep always faced competition when in Spain because Real were still a big team. He took Barca to another level and Real couldn't. In the season he lost to Mourinho it wasn't a drubbing quite like it was in Zidane's last season.
I don't believe Perez told Zidane not to worry about domestic form whatsoever. Its still important to challenge and Real weren't even close. They barely finished ahead of Valencia FFS.
I would love this.
The Juventus stuff was denied, wasn't it? He'd do no worse than what we've had in the last 5 years, except we'd actually be entertaining to watch again.
Im surprised its taken this long since deadline day for someone to throw this story out there......
He finished 3 points ahead of Valencia. 76 pts for Real Madrid in La Liga is a pile of piss. Mourinho was massively criticised and he still managed 81pts for us last season.
