Salford City have already confirmed his departure, stating he was leaving to pursue a job at a Premier League club.
The Sun’s Alan Nixon states that Wiles is going to take up a coaching job at United.
At the time, he had said: "I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my return to the club, very grateful for Neil (Wood) bringing me back and I would like to thank the owners, staff and all the players I’ve worked with for their efforts.
“We’ve shared some memorable moments together which will stay with me as I move onto a new chapter."
Wiles is a former midfielder who played for Blackpool, Macclesfield Town and other teams.
