The three players who will benefit from Zidane's appointment at Manchester United

Ole Gunnar Solskjær's time as Manchester United boss could well and truly be coming to an end very soon with the search for a new manager already intensifying.

The two top options as of this moment are former Real Madrid boss Zinedine and Zidane and Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers. Both have their pros and cons but the appointment of Zidane could benefit more top stars at Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be the biggest beneficiary if Zidane takes over at Manchester United. The two have worked together at Real Madrid and won three consecutive UEFA Champions League together; a reunion would certainly interest both parties.

Another player who will benefit heavily from Zidane's appointment is former Real Madrid defender Raphaël Varane, who was Ronaldo's teammate through the years. Paul Pogba could renew his contract if Zidane is appointed and have the opportunity of working with his idol and countryman.
