Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is one of four men considered as a replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by Manchester United chiefs.
And SunSport has explored how the Red Devils could line up under the Frenchman if they decide to sack Solskjaer and appoint the 49-year-old.
A key agent has been instructed to contact some of the biggest names in the game, with Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, Ajax chief Eric ten Hag and former Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte on the list with Zidane.
United leaders are desperate not to sack Solskjaer, but they can no longer ignore the appalling shrinkage in form and results.
And things came to a head on Sunday when he was beaten 5-0 at home by arch-rivals Liverpool.
With Solskjaer’s side struggling for the level, Zidane will likely seek to add to United’s squad in January if he is in charge by then.
Chelsea legend Eden Hazard has struggled with injuries since his £130m move to the Bernabeu in June 2019.
But Zidane may be keen to reunite with the Belgian star who played the best football of his career in England.

Zidane left his second spell at Real Madrid at the end of May.
And a favorite during his time there was Spanish winger Marco Asensio.
United have a wealth of talent in wide positions but the 25-year-old could come if Zidane wants to impose his authority on the squad.
Left-back Ferland Mendy has also been linked with an Old Trafford substitution in the past and could also arrive to bolster United’s defence.
Toni Kroos has long been talked about as a potential signing with United, and the veteran German will provide plenty of experience and coverage in midfield where United are lacking.
The Reds have previously been linked with Foxes duo Youri Tielemans and Wesley Fofana.
United attacked Rodgers’ team two years ago when he signed captain Harry Maguire.
According to But! In France, the Red Devils are keen on Fofana’s center back – despite recruiting former Real Madrid star Raphael Varane in the summer.
United are said to be ‘too hot’ for the defender, despite his current long-term injury.
And right-back Ricardo Pereira could join his Leicester teammates if Zidane wants a more attacking option than Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
