Former coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Thomas Tuchel also managed Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Chelsea. Without a club since his departure from Bavaria last June, the German is looking for a new challenge. If he had expressed his interest in FC Barcelona last season, he was ultimately beaten by his compatriot Hansi Flick. In fact, he is now unemployed. A boon for Manchester United?
The possibility of seeing him land a second time in the Premier League, more particularly among the Red Devilsis not new because his profile has been of interest to United for a while. But so far, the club management has chosen to maintain its confidence in the current coach, Erik ten Hag. Except that after two and a half years of presence (he signed up on April 21, 2022 with MU), the Dutchman did not convince. Despite a League Cup (2023) and an FA Cup (2024), his results in the league and the Champions League have been nothing but a succession of disappointments.
No contact, but…
This season once again, the debut in the Premier League is disappointing to say the least with a worrying fourteenth place occupied after seven days. United even remains on a sad series of three games without a victory and is only three units above the red zone. As told by Dailymaila meeting takes place this Monday between the minority shareholder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and certain managers of the club. Everyone will discuss the situation. On Tuesday, a general meeting takes place with the general staff.
However, the media clarified that no decision would be taken urgently. If the case of Erik ten Hag is debated, the problem of the cost of his possible dismissal poses a problem. No direct contact would have been resumed with Thomas Tuchel. But Manchester United also knows that it will not be able to continue like this for long this season if the results still do not come. The subject of the coach should be discussed tomorrow between all the managers, directors and owners of the club.
