Manchester United drops idea of appointing Thomas Tuchel

Manchester United is no longer considering Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for Rúben Amorim if the Portuguese coach leaves his post mid-season. Since January, Tuchel has been at the helm of the England national team.

According to The Sun, the club's management has ruled out the option of bringing in the German manager, despite the fact that in the summer of 2024 both parties already held talks when United was searching for Erik ten Hag's successor. At that time, club co-owner Jim Ratcliffe personally met with Tuchel.
