Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with Lokomotiv Moscow for Ralf Rangnick to become their interim manager.
Contracts are expected to be signed this weekend for Rangnick to take interim charge until the end of the season. The deal comes with a further two-year consultancy role.
United strongly believe Rangnick will offer valuable insight and resource on the football side beyond the end of the season.
Rangnick, who is being represented in the UK by Dr. Oliver Wendt, Scott Fisher, Mel Stein and Joel Macadar, will require a work permit before he can begin work.
Michael Carrick is still expected to be in charge for Sunday’s Premier League game at Chelsea.
Carrick was placed in temporary charge while United sought to appoint an interim boss following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday.
