Thomas Tuchel is said to be very interested in becoming Manchester United’s coach this summer if the “Red Devils” part ways with Erik ten Hag.

According to the Telegraph , coach Tuchel has moved “closely” to Manchester United in recent weeks. The British newspaper further informed that the German strategist expressed his desire to work with the Old Trafford team if there is a vacancy.

Bayern lost the Bundesliga championship to Bayer Leverkusen, the team remаins undefeated in all competitions, but at least the Bavarian “Gray Tigers” still reached the semi-finals of the Champions League . Therefore, as a coach, Tuchel is still a nаme sought after by many teams after leaving Bayern. The value of the 50-year-old leader is still very high.

In February, Bayern confirmed that coach Tuchel would leave the club after the 2023/24 season ended, citing “sports reorganization” as an important part of the team’s decision.

Meanwhile, after bottoming out in the 2023/24 season, culminating in the disastrоus 0-4 loss of the “Red Devils” against Crystal Palace , all of Ten Hag’s work and moves at the Old Trafford team is being closely monitored.

Manchester United is currently down to 8th place in the Premier League rankings with less than two weeks left in the season and is at rιsk of facing their worst performance since 1990, when they ranked 13th.

Besides coach Tuchel, British coach Gareth Southgate is also one of the potential candidates to lead the “Red Devils” if Ten Hag leaves. Also according to the Telegraph, England’s head coach is admired by United’s new shareholders, INEOS.
