Thomas Tuchel Emerges As Top Contender For Manchester United Manager If Erik Ten Hag Is Sacked

Manchester United have continued their poor run of form under Erik Ten Hag in the 2024/2025 premier league season, sitting on 14 on the premier league table after seven matches, including a recent goalless draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, October 6th.

Currently, only Southampton, who are currently in 19th place, have scored fewer goals than the five goals scored by Ten Hag’s squad in the Premier League so far this season, which is a great cause for concern for a team of Manchester United’s standing.

The Manchester United hierarchy who have seriously been considering sacking Erik Ten Hag as manager and coach of the Manchester United senior team for a while now, seems like they have a potential replacement already lined up for the Manchester United job.

Manchester United have been strongly linked to employing the services of former Chelsea and Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel as new manager and coach of the Manchester United team, in the event that Erik Ten Hag gets the sack.

Thomas Tuchel took over from Chelsea Legend Frank Lampard as coach, after the Chelsea legend was sacked in 2021, and Thomas Tuchel went ahead to lead Chelsea to their second champions league trophy just few months after his appointment as manager.

Thomas Tuchel was subsequently employed by Bayern Munich after being sacked by Chelsea, but narrowly missed out on the Bundes Liga title to Bayer Leverkusen who went unbeaten in the league.

With the experience of Thomas Tuchel, i believe that he has the capacity to pull Manchester United out of their present predicament. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and see how things unfold at old Trafford.
