Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is eyeing a move back to the Premier League. Tuchel will leave Bayern at the end of the season. The 50-year-old German wants to join Manchester United as the club looks to start rebuilding their squad under the new INEOS powered structure.
Sources are reporting that Manchester United have already contacted the former Chelsea boss about a move to Old Trafford this season. Reporter Christian Falk revealed to Caughtoffside that Tuchel wants to join Manchester United.
“Thomas Tuchel wants to return to the Premier League in the summer,”
“He now has the chance to return to England in the summer. One club that is high on his wish list is Manchester United. There have been contacts with United and Tuchel’s management from time to time in the past. Should Erik ten Hag be sacked, Tuchel would certainly listen to an offer. “But United shouldn’t wait too long. FC Barcelona also has a chance with Tuchel if sporting director Deco sees him as the number one successor to Xavi.”
Barcelona is also an option for Tuchel, but the Catalans reportedly prefer Hansi Flick. Flick is also keen on the Barcelona role, as he is excited about a coaching job outside of Germany.
INEOS Can Still Back Erik ten Hag
Manchester United new board member Jim Ratcliffe has called for patience from Manchester United fans. He stated that it is going to take a few years to return Manchester United to the top.
Erik ten Hag could still keep his position at Manchester United. Some reports suggest that there might not even be a need to appoint Thomas Tuchel if Erik ten Hag can somehow finish in a UEFA Champions League spot this season, as INEOS are happy to work with the Dutchman.
