The name of former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has again appeared in the middle uncertainty about the position of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Tuchel remains out of work since leaving Bayern in the summer but previously held talks with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and it appears Man Utd are still more likely to turn to him if they decide to part ways with Ten Hag, according to the independent.
The Red Devils have endured a miserable start to the season, with just two wins in their last nine games in all competitions, and none in their last five.
Ten Hag’s future already looked uncertain during the summer when Tuchel was first considered, but the former Ajax boss managed to keep the job at the time.
Ratcliffe and other key figures at Old Trafford have been talking about the situation, and it appears that no final decision has yet been made. although Tuchel’s name has come up again.
Thomas Tuchel, the ideal upgrade Manchester United need?
While it may be tempting to try to give Ten Hag more time and maintain some stability after many cuts and changes in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, it remains to be seen whether the Dutch tactician is really the right choice for this difficult work
Other top managers such as Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal have also struggled at United, but Tuchel is certainly in an elite group and has the kind of experience Ten Hag lacked when he left Ajax for the job .
Tuchel has won the Champions League with Chelsea, while he also enjoyed success at Bayern Munich, although things then ended badly for him there.
All in all, it’s hard to imagine that these struggling United players wouldn’t benefit from a change, and Tuchel has shown in the past that he can revive a struggling team, as he did with Chelsea when he led a naïve side to the Champions League glory. when they looked a bit disorganized under his predecessor Frank Lampard.
