Manchester United manager David Moyes could be sacked within 24 hours, according to Sky sources.
The club are currently refusing to comment.
Sky Sports News presenter Charlie Thomas says that in itself is "significant" after a season that has been "very disappointing" by United's high standards.
He added "all the indications are" that Moyes' tenure is coming to an end.
The Scot, who replaced Sir Alex Ferguson last May , has endured a miserable time in the Old Trafford hot seat.
The reigning Premier League champions are currently seventh in the Premier League table and will miss out on Champions League football for the first time in almost 20 years next season.
The Red Devils slumped to a 2-0 loss away to Everton on Sunday - the club Moyes left to take the United job.
The club's share price on the New York Stock Exchange has dropped amid the rumours.
Louis Van Gaal, the manager of the Dutch national team, is the early favourite to take the job if Moyes goes.
He was given a six-year contract after being handpicked by Sir Alex as his successor when he retired after 26 years in the job .
When Moyes' appointment was announced, Sir Alex said the club had "unanimously agreed" he was the right man.
"There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club," Sir Alex said.
Sir Alex's time at Manchester United established them as the dominant force in English football, with a string of league titles and cup successes for fans to celebrate.
Moyes described the opportunity to follow in Sir Alex's footsteps as a "great honour".
"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season," he said at the time.
