Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag would 'love' to be offered the Manchester United job, according to Wes Brown.
Manchester Evening News understands that the current Paris Saint-Germain and Ajax bosses are among the leading candidates for the coveted position.
Pochettino has a number of years' experience in the English top-flight, first with Southampton and then Tottenham with whom he twice came close to winning the Premier League and reached the Champions League final.
Ten Hag, meanwhile, continues to impress in the Eredivisie as he looks to repeat last season's league and cup double, and has guided Ajax back into the Champions League knockout stages.
Wes Brown, speaking on behalf of 888sport, said: "Pochettino has obviously been in the Premier League before.
"We know his style of play and I think he would love to be the Manchester United manager.
"He’d be very enthusiastic and he would have the money to build his squad.
"Ten Hag would also love the job, to come to the best league in the world and show what he can do. It’s a tough one between the two.
"Pochettino though has been here before and done it and in general he understands the league, the players and what he needs.
"Whichever one it is will be a really good fit. United have struggled in recent years getting the manager right and it’s a very important decision."
