French legend Zidane has been heavily linked to take over the Manchester United hotseat from Mourinho - with the Portuguese under big pressure at Old Trafford. The French legend reportedly called Mourinho to assure him there is no plot going on behind his back. According to the Sun , Zidane has phoned Mourinho to ease his fears and reveal that his representatives questioned whether he would like the job if it became available. Ahead of the match against Valencia in the Champions League, a Spanish journalist quizzed the beleaguered boss on the Zidane rumours. Mourinho’s response was to ask the Spanish journalist if he could ask the question to the reporter in the room who had written the original story.
