At least three former Manchester United players are in the frame to replace Ruben Amorim.
United have held discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick about the job, according to Sky Sports.
However, senior officials at the club have already spoken to Darren Fletcher about the caretaker role.
It is understood there is a possibility the Red Devils add Solskjaer and Carrick to work alongside Fletcher until the end of the season.
Although United’s immediate plan is to install an interim manager, they would be open to appointing a permanent coach if they find the right man.
