The Mirror newspaper (UK) placed such a headline in its article. Coach Thomas Tuchel is the latest name expected to take over the Man United head coach position left by Erik ten Hag. Let’s analyze Man United’s squad under the guidance of the German strategist, the Mirror writes.
MU coach Erik ten Hag is under increasing pressure in the hot seat at Old Trafford and speculation about his possible dismissal continues. If MU leaders, headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, decide to “pull the trigger and part ways” with Ten Hag, many rumors say that Thomas Tuchel will be appointed as the Dutch strategist’s successor.
Thomas Tuchel has confirmed his departure from Bayern Munich at the end of this season. Meanwhile, coach Erik Ten Hag still has another year left on his current contract with MU, but there are many doubts about whether the Dutch strategist will complete his agreement with the “red devils” or not. .
Kicker newspaper (Germany) has just reported that MU’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has contacted former Chelsea and PSG coach Thomas Tuchel and really wants to bring him to Manchester. If Tuchel takes over, it is almost certain that the 2021 Champions League champion will have big changes at Old Trafford, starting with personnel.
A large number of current MU players will leave, including famous stars like Casemiro and Antony. The aforementioned duo both cost MU a large amount of money and in the end were not completely successful. Former Real Madrid player Casemiro had an extremely impressive first season, but “disappeared” this season due to injury and poor performance.
In particular, Brazilian star Antony spent most of his career at MU disappointingly. Thomas Tuchel will certainly find a way to make money from selling such players to invest in finding new talent for the “red devils”.
Christian Eriksen’s contract with MU does not expire until next summer, but Tuchel may want a younger model next to captain Bruno Fernandes. Another former Real Madrid player, Raphael Varane, is also likely to leave after a disappointing season with multiple exits.
Ten Hag has confirmed that Anthony Martial will leave MU at the end of the season, so it’s a departure that Tuchel won’t have to spend too much time dealing with. Sofyan Amrabat will almost certainly leave the “Red Devils” after his loan expires at the end of the season, when the Moroccan midfielder is not performing as expected at Old Trafford.
The most shocking departure is probably none other than Marcus Rashford. The England international has been in poor form this season compared to last and has been the subject of rumors linking him with a move to French football giants Paris Saint-Germain.
In terms of those coming to Man United, there are a number of players that Thomas Tuchel might want to sign. Man United’s midfield is a major problem area and with Tuchel likely to get rid of Casemiro, someone new is needed in the middle of the park.
Nice’s Khephren Thuram has many Premier League clubs interested, including MU. MU can sign Thuram at an affordable price because his contract with Nice will expire next year. Notably, Nice is owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and this British billionaire is co-owner of MU.
Girona star Miguel Gutierrez could be an attractive option for Tuchel at left-back at Man United, as both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia face regular injury problems. However, this transfer may be difficult because Real Madrid has a buyback clause for Gutierrez included in the contract with Girona.
And at centre-back, Thomas Tuchel could look to push Edmond Tapsoba away from newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Despite his current success at Bayer Leverkusen, Tapsoba is said to want to try his hand in the Premier League and a move to Man United would guarantee him playing for one of the biggest clubs on the planet.
