Everton manager David Moyes could be named as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United later today.
One of his first jobs, if he is appointed, may be to persuade Wayne Rooney to stay at the club.
Sky sources say Rooney has told United he wants to leave Old Trafford this summer, but United insist he is not for sale.
Rooney, who has had a disappointing season, has recently taken "Manchester United player" out of his Twitter profile, though he is still pictured in a Red Devils jersey.
It won't be easy filling Ferguson's shoes The deal to appoint Moyes as the new boss has already been done and approved by the club's board, according to Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman.
Moyes, 50, who has spent 11 years at Goodison Park building competitive teams on slim resources, is out of contract with the Merseysiders on June 30.
He spent a number of hours in talks with Everton chairman Bill Kenwright in London on Wednesday night.
Sky Sport Correspondent Paul Kelso says Moyes has been endorsed by Sir Alex himself, despite a more modest CV.
"No trophies yet but it's that ability to work within a budget, to work to a long-term plan, to develop young players - that's what United have seen in him and that's what they want him to bring to the biggest job in English football."
Jose Mourinho had been tipped as a possible successor Moyes and Ferguson have had a close relationship and the Everton manager has long been considered as his fellow Scot's most likely successor.
He was even touted as a possible right-hand man to Ferguson as far back as 2000, when he was in charge at Preston, two years before he took the Everton job.
Despite having a comparatively meagre budget at Goodison Park, Moyes' Everton have not finished outside the top eight since 2006.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who established a friendly rivalry with Ferguson while in charge of Chelsea, had also been tipped for the Old Trafford job.
But he has recently been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge.
Michael Laudrup, now in charge of Swansea, could replace Moyes at Everton If Moyes is appointed, Swansea's Michael Laudrup is seen as a potential replacement at Everton, along with Wigan's Roberto Martinez.
Ferguson, 71, guided United to 13 Premier League titles and two European Champions League crowns during his 26 years in charge at Old Trafford, winning 38 major trophies in all.
Rumours of his retirement only began circulating late on Tuesday, but Ferguson said it was a decision he had been considering for some time.
"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time," Ferguson said.
"It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so."
