The club are planning to make a permanent appointment at the end of the season and Mauricio Pochettino is their first choice.
United are also not ruling out the possibility of making a move for the Paris Saint-Germain head coach during the current campaign.
It is understood the former Tottenham boss would be interested in moving to Old Trafford, though Pochettino said on Monday he is “so happy” at PSG and will not allow United’s interest to distract him from his current role.
Pochettino joined PSG in January and is contracted to the Ligue 1 club until the summer of 2023.
