According to recent reports in Germany, Manchester United has reached out to Thomas Tuchel about potentially taking over as head coach from Erik ten Hag. This development comes after United's tense victory over Coventry City in the FA Cup on Sunday. Tuchel, who will be leaving his current role at Bayern Munich at the end of the season, has expressed that managing United would be a dream come true for him. This is not the first time his name has been linked to the club, as he was previously shortlisted as a candidate in January.
It's been reported that minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has expressed a great deal of interest in Tuchel and has even inquired about his availability for the upcoming season. This adds to the speculation that ten Hag's job may be in jeopardy, with Jamie Carragher even predicting that the Coventry win may have sealed his fate. The former player turned pundit believes that the team's lackluster performances and apparent lack of progress may lead to ten Hag's dismissal.
In contrast, Tuchel has had a successful stint in England during his time as head coach at Chelsea, where he led the team to multiple titles including the Champions League. However, his time at the club was cut short when he was unexpectedly replaced by Graham Potter. Tuchel has since expressed that he felt more appreciated working in England than in Germany.
While the possibility of Tuchel taking over at Manchester United is still just speculation, it's clear that the club is interested in him and the feeling is mutual. As the season comes to an end, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see how the situation unfolds. Fans can only hope that the team can continue their winning ways and possibly secure a spot in the FA Cup final.
