Thomas Tuchel no more a priority for Manchester United
Manchester United future weighs heavily on Erik ten Hag’s shoulders as the club still ponders his future at the club going into the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have been linked with a move for several managers in the off-season, with England gaffer Gareth Southgate being the priority managerial option at Carrington at the time of writing.
INEOS are resoluting on getting their first major decision at the club right; hence, it is taking ample time for them to come to a conclusion. They are not willing to rush into any decision as of now, and ten Hag himself is in no rush to pursue clarity as every passing day increases the Dutchman’s chances of staying at Old Trafford beyond this summer.
Tuchel Out as more options emerge
The United hierarchy is tied to bringing Gareth Southgate; however, the upcoming European Championships 2024 are hindering Red Devils hopes of landing the Englishman, as he is not willing to discuss his future unless EURO 2024 in Germany is concluded. The club did push on other candidates, with the likes of Brentford’s Thomas Frank and free agents Roberto De Zerbi, Mauricio Pochettino, and Thomas Tuchel eyed by the Manchester-based club.
Tuchel is considered a strong option on paper; however, the former Chelsea boss has fallen down the pecking order owing to some indifferences in the outlook. While the Manchester Reds are building something for the future, the German boss has been seen as a manager who could offer a high-quality bridge to someone else, per Independent.
This has helped Ten Hag spend some more time at the helm at Old Trafford, and while he would like to stay at the club, there is a possibility that his contract can be terminated with mutual consent.
