Premier League
Thomas Tuchel is emerging as the top favorite to take over the helm of Manchester United, at a time when Erik ten Hag's situation hangs in the balance. Although the club has not yet officially announced the departure of the Dutch coach, all signs point to his time at Old Trafford coming to an end after a disappointing start to the season, both domestically and in the UEFA Europa League.
The board, led by Jim Ratcliffe, has already started to make moves in search of a replacement, and the name of the German leads the list of potential successors, alongside names like Xavi Hernández and Thomas Frank from Brentford.
Has the confidence in Ten Hag ended?
Confidence in Ten Hag, who extended his contract until 2026 last summer after winning the FA Cup, seems to have faded after 5 consecutive winless games, and the Red Devils' board is reportedly seeking a radical change to get back on track.
Tuchel, currently without a team following his negative spell at Bayern Munich, would be Ratcliffe's favorite choice to lead this new project. This is not the first time that the British magnate has approached the German, who months ago turned down the opportunity to manage the "Red Devils" after recently leaving the Bavarian side. However, the context now could be different, and Tuchel's arrival is not viewed as an absurd idea.
Tuchel: Returning to the Premier League?
If his move to Old Trafford materializes, this would be Tuchel's second experience in the Premier League. The German coach made a significant impact in his first stint when he took charge of Chelsea in 2021 and swiftly led the team to win the Champions League, defeating Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the final with a goal from Kai Havertz. He also secured the team's qualification for the next edition of the continental tournament by finishing fourth in the English league. Now, Manchester United looks to Tuchel for the solution to their problems and a boost to compete at the highest level once again.
