^ Even if the Zidane rumor was true, I don't think it's gonna be the right move. They need to swallow the bitter pill and realize that it's gonna be hard years ahead and rebuild.
But if they really wanted their success to continue post Fergie, then they shouldn't have made Moyes as SAF's replacement (then LVG after him)... In hindsight, they should have gone for Pep (after his hear long sabbatical) and only Pep imo.
I agree with you; Zidane it not the right move immediately if anything. People keep forgetting that Zidane was give an already well prepared team to manage, with quality players all around the pitch at his disposal, he wasn't made to build a team. It is the same issue with Mourinho, this is the first time he is actually trying to build an actual team - and this is very difficult. All his other success the team was was more or less built, he just needed to add a few more tweaks. For Man united, the board Ed Woodword are not prepared to spend heavy like Real Madrid or Chelsea in the early days of Abramovich, so it is a tough job.
