Manchester United have reportedly told Thomas Tuchel he is their number one target last week. If they want a new manager.

Tuchel has agreed a deal to become the new England manager and is expect to fly to the country this week to complete the process of appointing him.

Manchester United held talks with Tuchel. Along with other managers, over the summer before the Red Devils decided to extend Erik ten Hag’s contract.

The Ufabet reveal just last week he was told he was United’s top target to replace Ten Hag if they sack the Dutchman. With the Dutchman coming under pressure after the Red Devils’ worst start to a Premier League season in their history.

However, they now have to rethink their plans if Ten Hag’s replacement remains on the agenda. With significant changes possible after this weekend’s game at Brentford.

The Promotion ufabet understands Tuchel will earn around £5m a year and will start in January on an 18-month deal until the 2026 World Cup.

His replacement for Gareth Southgate means he becomes only the third non-English manager in England’s history. After Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

Thomas Tuchel to England is a big loss for Manchester United.

United fans will surely be hugely disappoint to see Tuchel escaping their grasp like this. As the 51-year-old would surely have been an upgrade on Ten Hag.

It’s prove a huge challenge for Ten Hag at Old Trafford. And it’s hard to imagine him lasting much longer, though this latest development makes it that much harder to sack him as it’s not clear who else could be target for the job.
