Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Manchester United will push to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if Kieran McKenna is appointed at Stamford Bridge.
The Argentine has left Chelsea after a single, difficult season, and had previously been linked with United at different times in his career.
United are expected by Di Marzio to be in the market for a new manager as he predicts Erik ten Hag will be sacked.
Speaking to Soccernews.nl, Di Marzio explained: “If McKenna doesn’t go to Chelsea he can be one of the front options for Manchester United."
"If McKenna does go to Chelsea, United will look to push for Pochettino. But Manchester United will separate from Ten Hag at the end of the season.”
