Manchester United are expected to replace Michael Carrick in the coming days, with Mauricio Pochettino set to take over as manager.
The Argentine is reportedly prepared to leave his position as manager of the United States national team to accept the role at Old Trafford.
Should Pochettino depart as expected, the United States will make Pep Guardiola their preferred candidate to succeed him, according to The Athletic.
However, negotiations could prove difficult because Guardiola has shown little interest in returning to management in the near future.
The former manager of Manchester City decided to take a break after spending 10 seasons at the club. Guardiola has previously turned down the opportunity to manage Italy.
