Ajax coach is Erik ten Hag emerging as the new favourite for the Manchester United board.
The Guardian says PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has slipped from being the favoured candidate to being ranked alongside Ajax's Erik ten Hag.
Although United are not restricting their shortlist to that pair, the title defence of Ten Hag's team, in leading the Eredivisie by two points with nine matches left, has increased admiration at the club for the 52-year-old.
Pochettino, though, remains a strong candidate, and he and Ten Hag have been contacted by the United executive regarding potentially becoming Ole Gunnar Solskjær's replacement.
Ten Hag is expected to leave Ajax this summer after seeing close ally Marc Overmars resign as sporting director this year.
