Manchester United Under-21 manager Warren Joyce has agreed a deal to become Wigan Athletic's new boss, sources close to both clubs have told ESPN FC.
As revealed by ESPN FC last week Wigan were in talks with highly-rated coach Joyce about replacing Gary Caldwell at the DW Stadium.
Wigan have agreed a compensation package with United for Joyce and he is set to be in charge for the first time against Reading this weekend.
The 51-year-old Joyce has been at Manchester United since 2008 and managed the U21 side along with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before taking sole charge in December 2010, guiding them to their third U21 Premier League title in four seasons last term.
