According to Times Sports, Manchester United have lined up Zidane and Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim to replace the faltering Dutchman if results on the pitch do not improve.

Amorim is not as heralded, but is a talented coach regardless and was the mastermind behind knocking Arsenal out of the UEFA Europa League last season.
