Zinedine Zidane Reportedly Having Doubts About Manchester United Job

Zinedine Zidane's replacement of Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager may not be a foregone conclusion, with the Frenchman having doubts about taking the job.

The Guardian's Sid Lowe told ESPN FC (h/t Lewis Winter of the Daily Express) he believes Zidane wouldn't want to "be seen having instigated the move" to usurp Mourinho.

Lowe also said the Frenchman is "very well aware of the floors within" the United team.

The sentiment echoes one expressed in a report from French source Le Parisien (h/t Dan O'Toole of the Manchester Evening News) that state of things at United concerns Zidane.
