Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could be shown the door after a disappointing start to the season, with Thomas Tuchel the top target to replace him.
Erik ten Hag has failed to get the best out of his squad once again, and Manchester United are now looking at other alternatives. As per a report by TEAMtalk, Thomas Tuchel is on their radar as the Red Devils look to change things around. The former Chelsea manager is their top target to replace ten Hag.
The German manager was on Manchester United’s radar in the past as well, and the Red Devils are now prepared to renew their interest in him. Tuchel is regarded as one of the finest tacticians in the game, and he could prove to be a quality appointment for the Premier League giants.
Thomas Tuchel has managed Chelsea in the past, and he knows the Premier League well. The 51-year-old could settle in quickly and make an instant impact. Tuchel helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge, and he knows what it takes to win major trophies.
Manchester United will hope to push for major trophies and compete at the highest level. Tuchel could prove to be the ideal appointment for them. Meanwhile, the German manager is currently out of a job, and he will be tempted to manage a big club like Manchester United as well.
Thomas Tuchel would get to manage top-class players at Old Trafford, and they could provide him with the resources to build a formidable squad. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Manchester United need a fresh start
Erik ten Hag has had plenty of opportunities to turn things around, and he has failed miserably. Despite spending over £600 million on new signings, Manchester United are nowhere near Arsenal or Manchester City when it comes to pushing for major trophies. So, it is hardly surprising that they are considering parting ways with the Dutchman.
It is the right time for Manchester United to move on and bring in someone who can take them back to the top of English football once again. They have been linked with a host of managerial names in recent years, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for Thomas Tuchel in the coming weeks after identifying the former Chelsea manager as their top target.
