Manchester United is reportedly lining up Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for current manager Erik ten Hag. The club is said to have considered Tuchel during the summer, and now, with United struggling this season, the German coach has come back into the spotlight.

After leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season, Tuchel remains unattached and could be immediately attainable for United. Rumors suggest that club officials are expected to meet soon in London to discuss Ten Hag’s future and possible alternatives, with Tuchel being a prominent candidate.

In response to the speculations, Tuchel recently broke his silence: “I have great respect for Manchester United and the legacy they carry. Every manager knows what an honor it is to be linked with such a prestigious club, but at the moment, I am evaluating all options.”

Ten Hag, meanwhile, remains uncertain about his future at the club. Following a goalless draw with Aston Villa, he commented, “We communicate very openly. Every day we talk, so I expect to have further discussions soon.”

United’s dismal start to the season—winning just three of their 11 games—has left them 14th in the Premier League, putting Ten Hag’s position at risk. As the pressure mounts, fans eagerly await further developments regarding who will be in charge of United moving forward.
