Man Utd set their sights on Thomas Tuchel! Ex-Chelsea & Bayern Munich boss ‘lined up’ as Erik ten Hag’s replacement ahead of crunch talks.Tuchel was in the short list to succeed Ten Hag in the summer when the co-owners were deciding to part ways with their manager before opting to have faith with the Dutchman.
However United have three out of 11 matches this season, sitting at position 14 of the premier league table and have scored only five goals in seven league matches, the second lowest tally in the division. United are also interested in a number of candidates – but Tuchel holds an extra attraction as he is currently out of work.
The INEOS hierarchy are set for a meeting on Tuesday 8th October as they decide their next move, with Man Utd’s next game not until October 19 because of the international break against Brentford at their home soil.
