Thomas Tuchel is the main candidate to replace Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United's helm amid increasing uncertainty due to the team's poor performance before the second international break of the season. The German coach has made it clear to the Red Devils that he is interested in taking the job, but under one key condition: the signing of Ronald Araujo, the center-back from FC Barcelona.

Tuchel reportedly asked Manchester United's board for a significant investment to secure the center-back's arrival in the winter transfer market, making him his first reinforcement if his move to the club materializes. This signing is deemed necessary given the low level of defensive rotation so far this season.

Tuchel Wants Ronald Araujo

Erik Ten Hag's situation at Manchester United has become critical following a series of poor results that have raised doubts about his continuity, including a streak of five winless matches in the Premier League and UEFA Europa League. The team has plunged into a deep crisis that may lead to a change in the dugout. Tuchel, who was previously linked to the club during the summer before the decision to retain Ten Hag, is once again a strong candidate to lead the Old Trafford team.

Additionally, Tuchel has already held talks with Araujo, expressing his admiration for the defender and his desire to have him in his project at United. The German has been a big fan of the Uruguayan's playing style since his time at Bayern Munich, where he also tried to sign him.

Barcelona Does Not Rule Out His Sale

Barcelona, on the other hand, is monitoring developments around the player as a lucrative offer from England could tempt both the club and Araujo himself. Although the center-back is under contract until the summer of 2026, a substantial bid could jeopardize his continuity at the Catalan club. It is rumored that Joan Laporta would be willing to accept an offer of 80 million euros, considering that the Uruguayan is injured and has not yet featured under Hansi Flick's management.

Furthermore, aside from Ten Hag's instability, several players at the club may be heading towards the exit in the upcoming winter transfer market, such as Lindelöf and Harry Maguire, who have been relegated to secondary roles due to the presence of center-backs like De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.
