Manchester United co-owner Joel Glazer has reportedly agreed to the dismissal of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Defeat at Watford appears to have been the final nail in the coffin for Solskjaer with the Glazers holding an emergency meeting soon after the match.
The Times says the Glazers initially held a virtual board meeting during the second half.
Talks continued into the night on Solskjaer's future, but a decision has now been made that Solskjaer will be sacked.
Joel Glazer has reportedly instructed group managing director, Richard Arnold, to negotiate Solskjaer's departure.
The report goes on to state that Zinedine Zidane is the club's first choice to replace Solskjaer.
The Glazers are also said to have pushed club officials to increase their offer to entice the Frenchman to take over.
Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag and Brendan Rodgers are named as alternative options.
