Manchester United have reportedly get in touch with Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.
Given the increasing amount of change brought about by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover of United, Ten Hag and his backroom staff may now be worried about their future at Old Trafford.
According to CaughtOffside, the current Bayern Munich manager has the Manchester Job ‘high on his wish list.’
“Thomas Tuchel wants to return to the Premier League in the summer,” Bild’s head of football told the publication.
“Internally at FC Bayern he has said too often what is better in the Premier League. That wasn’t good for his work in Munich.
“He now has the chance to return to England in the summer. One club that is high on his wish list is Manchester United.
“There have been contacts with United and Tuchel’s management from time to time in the past. Should Erik ten Hag be sacked, Tuchel would certainly listen to an offer.
“But United shouldn’t wait too long. FC Barcelona also has a chance with Tuchel if sporting director Deco sees him as the number one successor to Xavi.”
This comes after the 50-year-old decided to call it quits with the German club on June 30, 2024, one year early.
The emergence of the dynamic young trio consisting of Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and Rasmus Hojlund seems to have concealed the fractures in Manchester’s red area.
It will be interesting to see if Ratcliffe concurs with the Glazers’ present belief in Ten Hag. And if Tuchel’s name could draw attention in the boardroom.
