New England manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly had a “verbal agreement” to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
October’s international break is approaching its conclusion, and Ten Hag appears to have survived the sack.
The Red Devils entered the international break on a five-game winless run, intensifying pressure on INEOS to axe the Dutch coach. Accordingly, the period saw United being linked with several top managers, including Tuchel.
Last week, The Peoples Person relayed a Manchester Evening News report claiming United are “lining up” the German coach as a potential replacement for Ten Hag.
The former PSG, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich man emerged on the Mancunian side’s radar over the summer and was seen as the top candidate for the position at Old Trafford should it become available.
Tuchel has now been named the new manager of England, ending any possibility of taking charge of United this season. However, it appears he was very close to bagging the job in recent days.
