This news comes amidst speculation that Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, will be leaving the club when his current contract expires next summer.
In the meantime, Manchester United has been busy speaking to the representatives of two potential managers. They have held talks with Brentford manager Thomas Frank and former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino. There are also rumors that current Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is at risk of being sacked.

Manchester United is planning to secure England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo on an improved contract but will wait until after the summer transfer window closes to finalize the deal.

Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has expressed his intention to speak to Manchester United regarding his future. The Old Trafford club currently has an option to turn his loan from Fiorentina into a permanent transfer.
Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is expected to leave the club in search of more first-team football opportunities.
