Manchester Evening News, a local media outlet, reported that Manchester United have shown interest in German manager Thomas Tuchel to replace Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag’s future is once again in question. After the team made their worst start to the Premier League era, collecting just eight points from seven games.
Manchester United’s board are due to meet on Tuesday and the issue of Ten Hag’s position could come up.
The report claims that the Red Devils have already made a shortlist for Tuchel. While there are other options that the board are interested in. Tuchel’s lack of a club gives him an advantage if Ten Hag is sacked.
Manchester United had already shown interest in Tuchel last summer. After the 51-year-old left Bayern Munich and held talks over the manager’s appointment.
However, in the end, the board of directors of Manchester United chose to give Ten Hag a chance and extended his contract for another year.
Legal bookmakers had previously put Ruud van Nistelrooy. As the favourite to become the next manager, with the former Netherlands international returning to the ยูฟ่าเบท club as Ten Hag’s assistant.
However, the latest news is that Manchester United are eyeing Tuchel. It is believed that the German coach is ready to accept the job from Ten Hag.
The move prompted several legal bookmakers in England to re-update their latest odds on Manchester United’s next manager on October 7, with Tuchel now the favourite to replace Van Nistelrooy.
