Jose Mourinho fears he
might be sacked as Manchester United manager, after being contacted by Zinedine
Zidane.
United’s miserable start to
the new season continued on Saturday, after they were beaten 3-1 by West Ham in
the Premier League.
It means the Red Devils
have not won their last three domestic fixtures and pressure continues to mount
on Mourinho.
Zidane has emerged as the
overwhelming favourite to succeed him, having vacated his position as Real
Madrid manager at the end of last season, after steering the Spanish giants to
a third straight Champions League crown.
The 46-year-old was last
week reported to have started taking English lessons and the The UK Sun now
claims Zidane has been in touch with Mourinho, in an attempt to allay some of
his fears.
Zidane, concerned Mourinho
thought he could be plotting to take his job, confirmed he has been sounded out
by his own representatives but is yet to be contacted by United chiefs.
United host Valencia in the
Champions League on Tuesday evening, looking to end their winless run.
