Manchester United won't name a new manager until after the season is over, according to sources.
Louis van Gaal is widely expected to eventually be given the job.
United have been in talks with Netherlands boss Van Gaal, who will leave his post with the Dutch national team after the summer's World Cup, but they have not been concluded.
Ryan Giggs is currently interim manager, but he is not being considered for the permanent position due to his lack of experience.
