Jose Mourinho receives the full backing of Manchester United despite rumours linking Zinedine Zidane to Old Trafford

Manchester United have backed Jose Mourinho and insisted theres’s no vacant job for another head coach. There were predictions that Jose Mourinho is going to be sacked this season following his team’s 3-2 defeat at Brighton. Rumours have emerged that Zinedine Zidane is interested in succeeding Mourinho, bit an Old Trafford senior source insists that Mourinho still has the club’s full backing. 'Why would we discuss him when there is no job available?' Mourinho has not worked at any of his previous clubs much beyond the third season, and comparisons are being drawn with the final days of his second spell at Chelsea.
