Lucien Favre and Rudi Garcia have both impressed the Manchester United hierarchy in their respective talks over the vacant interim manager position, according to reports.
Sportsmail revealed on Tuesday that the managerial pair were part of a five-man shortlist for the temporary role at Old Trafford following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking last week.
Michael Carrick is currently acting as caretaker boss of the Red Devils and won his first match in charge - a 2-0 Champions League victory over Villarreal - but United are still on the lookout for a temporary boss until the summer.
