Reports have suggested he is in discussions over a role overseeing the technical aspects on the men's and women's national teams and the next stage of the international set-up's home at St George's Park.
The FA has declined to comment on the claims.
The former Norwich Academy player cut his teeth as a sports administrator at Peterborough and Cambridge before making his name as a shrewd operator as West Brom's sporting and technical director.
His work with the FA raised his profile significantly, and the part he played in Brighton's rise as their technical director prompted Newcastle's new Saudi-backed owners to make him their sporting director in 2022.
United fought hard to lure him across the Pennines and eventually got their man, only to dispense with his services summarily amid the club's ongoing problems on the pitch and Ratcliffe's restructuring work off it.
