Manchester United are reportedly lining up Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for the under-fire Erik ten Hag. That is according to the Manchester Evening News, who state that while other managers are admired, Tuchel being immediately attainable makes him an attractive choice, having left Bayern Munich at the end of last season.

Tuchel began his managerial career with Augsburg II and went on to take charge of Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain before replacing Frank Lampard at Chelsea in January 2021. The 51-year-old German guided the Blues to three pieces of silverware, including the 2020/21 Champions League, during his 20-month tenure in west London.

This has led to names like Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, and Eddie Howe entering the conversation. While none of these options may have the same stature as Tuchel or Allegri, they each bring their own strengths.
