Manchester United’s present coach, Erik ten Hag, has come under fire this season due to the team’s lackluster performance in the Premier League, despite previous achievements in the Carabao Cup and securing qualification for the Champions League.
Amid swirling rumors of potential managerial changes at Old Trafford, journalist Christian Falk hinted at Thomas Tuchel’s possible interest in assuming control.
The recent involvement of INEOS at Manchester United suggests that significant transformations could be in store.
Falk, representing BILD, suggested that ten Hag might be considered by Bayern Munich as an option, while also indicating Tuchel’s continued interest in the Manchester United managerial role.
However, Tuchel’s primary focus remains on his responsibilities at Chelsea, particularly with the team’s involvement in the Champions League.
Tuchel and Chelsea are expected to part ways at the end of the season, following an announcement from Bayern Munich.
With Bayer Leverkusen performing strongly in the Bundesliga, Bayern’s decision-makers may feel compelled to make a change.
According to Jamie Jackson of The Guardian, Manchester United has the opportunity to secure a “serial trophy winner” like Tuchel, who will become available later this year.
Jackson highlighted Tuchel’s previous successes, including his triumph over Pep Guardiola in the Champions League.
While ten Hag’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, the club’s owners, Ratcliffe and INEOS, may be contemplating a managerial shake-up.
Manchester United’s current sixth-place position in the Premier League standings makes Champions League qualification improbable.
Journalist Georg Holzner reported that Manchester United has reached out to Tuchel regarding a potential managerial transition in the summer.
Tuchel, praised as “elite” by former United midfielder Paul Ince, may view a return to England as an opportunity to accomplish unfinished business following his successful stint at Chelsea, where he guided the team to Champions League glory.
Despite the challenges ahead, Tuchel appears receptive to the idea of leading Manchester United.
