According to reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Thomas Tuchel held a secret meeting in Monaco, where they discussed Tuchel’s potential takeover as Manchester United manager. Despite leading Bayern Munich to the Champions League semifinals, Tuchel left the club after just three months. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United is uncertain, despite winning the FA Cup and qualifying for the Europa League.
German journalist Christian Falk claims that Tuchel presented his vision for the team to Ratcliffe, including plans to revive Jadon Sancho and Mason Mount. However, Tuchel reportedly has no intention of taking on a new role this summer. Louis van Gaal, the Netherlands manager, has expressed support for Ten Hag, stating that he needs more time to build a successful team.
Ten Hag himself has spoken out about his future, saying that he is committed to his project at Manchester United and is building a team for the future. While he acknowledges that the team’s performance has been inconsistent, he is determined to continue and win more trophies.
The rumors surrounding Ten Hag’s future have sparked debate among fans and pundits, with some calling for his dismissal and others supporting his continued leadership. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Tuchel will indeed take over at Old Trafford and what the future holds for Ten Hag and Manchester United.
