Former Chelsea player Jason Cundy has warned Manchester United about hiring Thomas Tuchel as coach if they fire Erik ten Hag at the end of this season.
German coach Tuchel , who will end his time at Bayern Munich at the end of the season, is looking for his next professional opportunity. Having worked with Chelsea and won the UEFA Champions League in 2021, Tuchel is one of the most highly rated managers this summer.
(PLO) – Marcus Rashford was removed from England’s temporary squad for Euro 2024, although the Man United striker shined at the 2022 World Cup but went through a disastrous season in coach Erik ten Hag’s squad.
However, according to Cundy, the former Chelsea player, Mr. Tuchel can be very difficult to deal with at Old Trafford when things get bad and Manchester United should be careful with their decisions.
Cundy told talkSPORT: “Tuchel will conflict with someone wherever he goes. Causing trouble is inherent in Tuchel’s nature. Somehow, he often conflicts with everyone. In the end , Tuchel will have to leave because he does not necessarily need to be kept. Like Antonio Conte, Mr. Tuchel is not easy to get along with at Man United.

Assuming MU wins the title, everything is perfect. But as soon as performances start to decline as they did last season, one or two things go wrong, and suddenly Tuchel starts criticizing others. He has a habit of finding weaknesses, criticizing the players and the management, then denying all mistakes. That is a model of Tuchel.”
Coach Tuchel has been linked with a move to England, being one of the top options for the Red Devils if they sack Erik ten Hag . However, Tuchel’s recent time has not been good. His Bavarian side lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen, who were undefeated during the season. To add to the humiliation, Tuchel and his team continued to lose 3-4 to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
Sources close to English football all said that it was Thomas Tuchel who identified Manchester United as a potential destination, despite information that Erik ten Hag is still in charge for another season, although The results in the current season are not good. The Dutch teacher also has no intention of leaving Old Trafford.

However, MU has experienced a disappointing 2023-2024 season.

Man United has a chance to redeem themselves when they face defending champion Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25 at Wembley Stadium. If they win, Man United will be upgraded to play in the Europa League, the participation slot belongs to Chelsea. This is also an opportunity for Ten Hag teachers and students to redeem themselves after losing last year’s FA Cup final 1-2, also to familiar opponent Manchester City
