Adidas chief executive Herbert Hainer recently criticised the club's playing style under boss Louis van Gaal.
"The current playing style of Manchester United is not exactly what we want to see," he said.
Guardiola is on the market after confirming he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season and revealing he is aiming for a job in England.

But the Spaniard is expected to join Manchester City, where he would be more likely to end up with Lionel Messi.
United have been linked with Guardiola, as have Chelsea and Arsenal, but there has been little if any talk of Messi heading to Old Trafford.
And the Argentina superstar reiterated his desire to remain at Barca after picking up his fifth Ballon d'Or trophy on Monday night.
"I want to keep succeeding with the club," Messi said.

"Now is not the time to think about whether this is (my) peak. It’s more important that we keep trying to win, that we work hard. It’s a lot to think about.
“I’ve always said that (I can’t leave Barcelona). It’s always my response. I want to finish my career at home.
"My home is Barcelona. Football changes so much. A year ago, we were all getting criticised and we ended up winning nearly everything. My intention is to terminate my career where it started, in Barcelona."
