Thomas Tuchel afraid Man United won’t offer him manager role

May 16, 2024Bundesliga

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is afraid that Man United will not offer him the manager’s role at Old Trafford even if it becomes available this summer.

The Premier League giants need to make a decision on the position very soon as they have to begin preparations for the 2024/25 campaign.

Erik ten Hag is under severe pressure at Old Trafford following a very poor season and it remains to be seen if Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS continue with the Dutch coach. Their biggest concern should be United’s performances and their manager’s inability to fix his team’s issues.

Many coaches have been linked with the role at the Manchester club and the biggest name is Thomas Tuchel. The Bayern Munich boss is set to leave the Bundesliga giants at the end of the season, although that may change.

According to ESPN’s Rob Dawson, Tuchel is now open to remaining as Bayern head coach amid concerns he won’t get offered the Manchester United job even if it becomes available.

The German club are struggling to find a manager of their own and as a result, are embarrassingly considering keeping the former Chelsea man having pulled the plug on his project mid-season.

Will Thomas Tuchel end up at Man United?

Thomas Tuchel would be a good fit for Man United

According to the report, Tuchel viewed Man United as a potential next destination for his career but is not sure about whether a move to Manchester is a possibility.

There’s a concern that incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth wants a head coach to slot into a wider structure rather than appointing a manager with more control, leading the German coach to believe he might not fit the bill.
