The set of circumstances surrounding the Frenchman taking over at Real Madrid were so unique that there is no way to repeat that magic at Old Trafford
On the surface there would appear to be some similarities between what is currently going on at Manchester United and the situation Zinedine Zidane walked into at Real Madrid when he first took the coaching job in January 2016.
Two big institutions pitifully underperforming. A thinly disguised discord running through the camp between coach and players. For Jose Mourinho now, read Rafael Benitez then. On top of it all was a frustrating sense that the club should be running much better.
