Manchester United eye Thomas Tuchel as Ten Hag's replacement

Manchester United are considering making a surprising move for outgoing Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel as they look for a possible replacement for Erik ten Hag.

According to Sport Bild's Christian Falk, Tuchel is keen on returning to the Premier League and is interested in taking over at Old Trafford if Ten Hag leaves the club at the end of the season. 

Falk reported, "The Red Devils could consider appointing Tuchel in case the Dutch coach leaves Old Trafford in the summer."

Tuchel is expected to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season after an announcement was made earlier in the campaign. Georg Holzner of the Kicker reported that Bayern Munich are unlikely to change their decision, as they believe parting ways with Tuchel is the right move.

If Ten Hag does leave United, there are reports suggesting that he could return to his former club, Ajax, ahead of the 2024-25 season. Ajax have reportedly included Ten Hag on their summer shortlist.

United, who recently reached their second straight FA Cup final, will be looking to bounce back from their unconvincing performance against Championship side Coventry City in the semi-final. They are set to face Sheffield United in their next Premier League fixture on Wednesday.
