USA head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, is Manchester United’s top choice to replace Michael Carrick.
It is increasingly likely that Carrick will be fired this international break.
The 45-year-old’s job is on the line despite the team’s battling 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday.

The result means that United have recorded just two wins from 10 Premier League games this season.
Pochettino’s contract with the US national team includes a £7m release clause.
United have previously considered Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann. Both men could still be in contention if they are unable to get Pochettino.
