Just ask. I mean let your manager know you have aspirations to become a manager.

Ask your manager about opportunities to mentor jr. Team members. It’s like a working interview for both you and your boss. You don’t officially have direct reports, but you get to try it out (many find it isn’t actually something they are passionate about).
If it works out well, ask about leadership tracks that are available with your company.

Yeah your manager should know your desires in this regard. Is there some hesitation in asking? Like do you feel like you'll step on someone's toes or something?

Whats the motivation for wanting direct reports?
