Laurent Blanc is the favourite to step in as caretaker manager of Manchester United until the end of the season.
Jose Mourinho was relieved of his duties on Tuesday, ending a two-and-a-half-year stint at Old Trafford.
The club will reportedly keep Michael Carrick in charge for 48 hours, with an external person expected to step in for the rest of the season.
The Mirrorbelieve that man is Blanc, who played for United between 2001 and 2003.
The World Cup winner, 53, last managed PSG from 2013 to 2016.
