Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is under consideration at Manchester United.
United manager Erik ten Hag is inside the final 18 months of his contract and talks over a new deal are yet to commence.
New United director Sir Jim Ratciffe will have a major say on the Dutchman's future and is still to be convinced by his long-term prospects.
The Telegraph says among the alternatives being considered is Tuchel.
The former Chelsea manager is under pressure at Bayern with Bayer Leverkusen now leading the Bundesliga table.
And should he leave, Tuchel will immediately be under consideration for Ratcliffe at United.
