Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keen to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane amid links with the vacant role at Manchester United.

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keen to work with Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane again amid rumours linking him with the Manchester United job.

The Red Devils are on the lookout for a permanent successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who will not be appointed before the end of the 2021-22 season.

Despite reports claiming that he is waiting for the France job to become available, Zidane is thought to be a leading candidate to take the reins at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman enjoyed bountiful success with Ronaldo and Varane in his ranks at the Bernabeu, and talkSPORT claims that he would be keen to reunite with the pair in Manchester.

United are focusing their attention on appointing an interim manager for the time being, though, with Laurent Blanc thought to be a candidate to take over temporarily.

Michael Carrick will lead the team for the time being, and United's search for Solskjaer's successor could supposedly see Ed Woodward delay his exit until the summer.
