Chris Wheeler writes that the prospect of Mourinho being dismissed is now being openly discussed at the club's training complex, with some players even talking about the possibility of him being replaced by Zinedine Zidane.
"They are saying Jose will be gone soon," a source is quoted as saying. "Some think he'll be out if they lose at Burnley. Others can’t see him lasting beyond September. "We’ve seen this before and it just feels the same. The club will say it's supporting Jose but we all saw what happened with Louis [van Gaal]. The players are already talking about the possibility of Zidane coming in."The same outlet has claimed United have emailed their ambassadors - including Andy Cole, Denis Irwin, Bryan Robson and Dwight Yorke - to caution them on how much they discuss the management situation at the club.

Elsewhere, it has been reported in The Independent that United have drawn up a list of six names who could potentially replace Mourinho should the club decide to dismiss the 55-year-old. Zidane features on the list, as does Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and France's World Cup-winning manager, Didier Deschamps.
