There are three problems with Manchester United trying to convince Zinedine Zidane to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: he has no burning ambition to test himself in the most difficult of jobs; he is not especially driven by money; and he doesn't believe his English is good enough.
They are not insurmountable, but the first and the third obstacle in particular make persuading him to accept the job now in the middle of the season even more difficult.
If they manage it, what is clear is that he will have an immediate bond with at least three members of the first team.
