Thomas Tuchel reportedly interested in taking over managerial role at Manchester United
Journalist Ben Jacobs recently claimed that Thomas Tuchel is keen on joining the Red Devils for the upcoming season. With uncertainties about United's current boss Erik ten Hag's future at the club, the former Chelsea coach has been heavily linked with the job.
On mufcMPB’s YouTube channel, Ben Jacobs spoke about the German coach and his interest in the job at Old Trafford, saying:
"With Tuchel, there has been nothing concrete from United to Tuchel yet, but he’s formed a part of the succession planning."
Following his premature departure from Bayern Munich, at the end of the 2023-24 season, Thomas Tuchel reportedly wants to return to the Premier League. Ben Jacobs added:
“Tuchel is pushing for Manchester United more than Manchester United are pushing for Tuchel at this point. In other words, Tuchel wants to come back to the Premier League and he would welcome the approach.”
After his one-season tenure at Chelsea in 2021–2022, Thomas Tuchel signed for Bayern Munich on a two-year deal in 2023. He was relieved of duties after the Bundesliga side did not win any trophies in the 2023-24 season.
