Manchester United have met with representatives of Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Sun says United have opened talks with Pochettino's representatives about taking over from Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.
United chiefs are considering the Argentine as a replacement for the Dutchman who has struggled this season.
Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is still the favourite to get the job but Pochettino has proven he can bring youth players to the fore which has not gone unnoticed by Red Devils officials.
Pochettino is seen as a more viable long-term solution than Mourinho.
