Man Utd officially makes a decision regarding Mourinho and Zidane.
The Old Trafford club has recently made its final decision regarding the prospect of changing its head coach.
Manager Jose Mourinho has been under immense pressure since the end of last season without winning a single trophy. This continues to this day with consecutive defeats in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.
In the press conference following the disastrous match against the London team, the Manchester United manager vehemently condemned the reporters. He repeatedly highlighted his past achievements and demanded that those around him respect him.

| Mourinho reportedly "went berserk" at the press after the 0-3 defeat against Tottenham on Monday of this week. |
The tension at Old Trafford is clear, but according to the Mirror Sunday, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is not being influenced by the club owners (the Glazers) regarding the sacking of the Portuguese manager, as they believe it is still too early to think about it.
Rumors about replacing Mourinho with legend Zinedine Zidane have actually been circulating for some time, and they've become even stronger after the disaster at the Theatre of Dreams earlier this week. This is in addition to reports that the former Real Madrid manager is monitoring the situation at Man Utd and is ready to join at any time.
However, sources from the Mirror suggest that the Premier League runners-up's management do not consider Zidane a strong candidate to replace their current head coach."Jose is not yet on the brink of a crisis. He has been disappointing with the results, but he can still turn things around."A source at United said.

| The Portuguese strategist will still have the trust of his team, rather than having to fear losing his job at Old Trafford. |
"The mood in the dressing room remains very positive and Ed Woodward visited the Carrington training ground last week. That means there's nothing unpleasant happening around Man Utd."Mirror further quotes.
So, manager Mourinho is still "safe," and things could change tonight if his players can beat hosts Burnley, who are also in a real crisis with only 1 point after the first 3 rounds of the Premier League this season.
