'When I hear him talk, it's incredible': Saha urges United to appoint Zidane

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has urged the club to appoint Zinedine Zidane as Jose Mourinho's long-term replacement as manager.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer began life as United's interim boss with a 5-1 victory over Cardiff City on Saturday, while Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is the leading contender to take the job permanently.

But Saha, who played for United for four years from 2004, backs three-time Champions League winning manager Zidane for the role.
