Manchester United stars have already begun discussing the possibility of Zinedine Zidane replacing Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, after a disastrous start to the season, reports claim.
A section of the dressing room is expecting the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss to get the sack sooner rather than later, with many believing the axe will fall if they are beaten by Burnley on Sunday.
Mourinho has overseen back-to-back losses to Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur and United are already six points off the pace at the top of the Premier League.
The players believe its inevitable Mourinho will be shown the door and they are openly conversing about former Real Madrid manager Zidane arriving at the club.
They are saying Jose will be gone soon, a source told the Daily Mail. Some think hell be out if they lose at Burnley. Others cant see him lasting beyond September.
Weve seen this before and it just feels the same. The club will say its supporting Jose but we all saw what happened with Louis [van Gaal].
