Zinedine Zidane has made it clear that he would be willing to take over at Paris Saint-Germain if Manchester United are able to land Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports.

United are searching for their next permanent manager after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday and appointing Michael Carrick on an interim basis.

Carrick got off to the perfect start on Tuesday evening as United reached the Champions League knockout phase with a 2-0 victory over Villarreal.

United’s hierarchy had hoped that Solskjaer could rescue United’s current situation which has seen them lose five defeats in their last seven Premier League matches.

And the club are now contemplating the prospect of attempting to lure Pochettino away from PSG before the end of the season, or continue the campaign with an interim manager.
