It has been reported that former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has four transfer targets in mind should he replace Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
Zidane has been tipped to succeed the Portuguese tactician in England, following the Red Devils' poor start to the season.
It has been claimed the Frenchman would be interested in taking over at United, although it has also been said that the English club has no plans to sack Mourinho any time soon.
According to the Daily Mirror, however, Zidane already has an idea of which players he would look to bring to United if he was placed in the Old Trafford hot seat.
The 46-year-old would reportedly look at the possibility of signing Los Blancos star Toni Kroos, whom he worked so well with at the Spanish giants.
It has been claimed Zidane would also look to lure Bayern Munich duo James Rodriguez and Thiago Alcantara to United. It remains to be seen as to whether or not Rodriguez would be open to working under the manager again, though, as he was not a regular under the French boss at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Lastly, it is believed that Zidane would be interested in targeting Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, who many feel is often undermined in France, despite being his club's all-time leading goalscorer.
What will play a major role in any of these deals materializing is Mourinho's job security in England. With United having lost two of their first four Premier League games already this season, another defeat might see the board intervene.
