Zinedine Zidane: He proved himself a master of moulding a star-studded squad into a team at Real Madrid where he won two La Liga titles and several Champions League trophies. He is just the sort of manager Manchester United need right now. Image Credit: AFP

Roberto Mancini: He is no doubt a class act and would be a success at Old Trafford. But, the current Italian national team coach was the former boss of Man City and United fans would never accept him in the hot seat. Image Credit: REUTERS

David Moyes: He was given a chance at Old Trafford but it was not a fair one. Sacked after just 7 months in charge, the short stint damaged his reputation which he has since rebuilt thanks to a great job done at West Ham. He sure has unfinished business and given a proper crack of the whip he would create a good team. Image Credit: Reuters

Brendan Rodgers: The Leicester boss has proven he can handle the big time while at Liverpool and Celtic. The Foxes narrowly missed out on the Champions League for the past two seasons despite far inferior resources to the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. Image Credit: Reuters

Erik ten Hag: Ajax are one of the form teams in Europe thanks to his astute leadership. The former Bayern Munich youth team coach would fit the attacking style demanded at Manchester United. Image Credit: Reuters

Luis Enrique: The Spain national team boss has lots of experience in getting the best out of a collection of talented players. He won the treble in his first season at Barcelona and has always spoken of his desire to one day coach in the English Premier League. Image Credit: AP

Mauricio Pochettino: The Argentine coach, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, is the favourite for the job at Old Trafford. But will he jump ship mid-season with the team leading by 12-points at the top of Ligue 1? Image Credit: Reuters
