With just a week remaining this season, Manchester United still have one big decision to make in terms of managerial changes.
For Erik ten Hag, there’s been huge pressure for large parts of this season with the sack hanging over his head.
The new decision-makers at Manchester United aren’t happy with this season and they’ve made it known, with the manager still guessing over his future.
To make matters at Old Trafford more complicated, the top target to replace Ten Hag this summer has just confirmed he’ll be available.
Thomas Tuchel makes himself available this summer
Speaking to the media ahead of his side’s game against Hoffenheim, Thomas Tuchel revealed that despite recent rumours that he and Bayern would agree to continue, this is not the case.
The Bayern Munich boss has in doing so opened himself up for the United job this summer.
“We will stick to the agreement that we had in February. We had talks, as you reported, but we couldn’t agree on terms,” Tuchel admitted on Friday.
“It’s very difficult. The longer the season went on and the more you experience, the way we played against Arsenal and Real Madrid, it really glues you and the team together.
“These past few weeks were the basis to think about a U-turn, but we couldn’t find an agreement to keep working together and I’m not going to elaborate on details and motivations.”
So with his exit now confirmed, Tuchel’s links to United are guaranteed to return.
Christian Falk confirms Manchester United interest
After rejecting Bayern, the logical thinking would be that he has a plan to go somewhere else.
German journalist Christian Falk certainly believes this to be the case as he’s reported Tuchel is eyeing a Premier League comeback.
He also added that Tuchel’s management is currently in contact with United over his getting the job. Although it’s worth noting Ten Hag still has it right now and could yet win silverware.
Sentiment over Ten Hag in the fans still remains in favour of him staying and the next two games will likely play a pretty big factor.
