Ralf Rangnick's two-year consultancy role at Manchester United will reportedly see the German work for just six days a month.
The former RB Leipzig manager has been the club's interim head coach since last December, but he will step aside this summer for the arrival of a new manager, with Ajax's Erik ten Hag currently at the head of the queue.
According to the Daily Mail, Rangnick will become a consultant for the 20-time English champions on a two-year deal, starting this summer.
However, the report claims Rangnick will work just six days a month, which would total 144 days if he remained at Old Trafford until 2024.
United appear to be undecided on Pochettino and Ten Hag, while Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui and Spain manager Luis Enrique are also believed to be outsiders for the position at the English Premier League giants.
A so-called mystery manager is also understood to have undertaken an interview at Old Trafford.
Man United are no longer in the FA Cup or C hampions League, meaning that they will play only League football between now and the end of the campaign.
In a recent interview, Rangnick revealed: "Manchester City and Liverpool have been built together and recruited over five or six years and all of them under the premise of how the coaches want to play.
"I told the board this is what has to happen. Whenever the new head coach is clear, it has to be - how does he want to play and what kind of players do we need for that?"
The 20-time English champions, who drew 1-1 with Leicester City on Saturday, are currently seventh in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur ahead of this weekend's trip to Everton.
