Ajax coach Erik ten Hag impressed Manchester United directors during this week's interview.
The Telegraph says Ten Hag came through his United interview with 'flying colours'.
The Dutchman became the first, at least known, managerial candidate to hold a formal interview for the soon-to-be-vacant position at Old Trafford earlier this week and other talks will now follow.
Ten Hag's interview is understood to have been 'positive' after the 52-year-old detailed his philosophy and vision for the club.
Reports yesterday claimed Ten Hag was ahead of PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino in the running.
