Thomas Tuchel 'was told he was Man United's No 1 target' if they sacked Erik ten Hag just WEEKS before agreeing to become England boss
Daily MailManchester United reportedly told Thomas Tuchel he was their number one target if they needed a new manager just weeks ago. Thomas Tuchel was reportedly told by Man United weeks ago that he was their top target to replace Erik ten Hag if they opted to sack the beleagured Dutchman Ten Hag is under immense pressure once again after hanging on to his job in the summer Mail Sport understands that Tuchel is set to earn around £5million per year. England captain Harry Kane played under Tuchel at Bayern Munich last season and spoke earlier today about his former boss's links to the job. Tuchel will permanently replace Gareth Southgate as Three Lions boss who stepped down in the summer after the heartbreaking Euro 2024 final loss to Spain The German has an impressive CV having previously won the Champions League while manager of Chelsea England U21 boss Lee Carsley has been in interim charge of England since Southgate left Tuchel has been out of work since leaving German giants Bayern Munich in May But the FA have moved quickly for Tuchel, who emerged as the front-runner for the England job due to his track record of winning titles, which appeals to the FA. A press conference to announce his appointment is expected to be held at Wembley tomorrow at 1.30pm, which will be attended by FA chief executive Mark Bullingham The German is the first non-English boss of England since Fabio Capello quit in 2012 Carsley had support at the FA but the sense that he was not fully convinced about taking the permanent reins has led the FA to virtually rule the former Everton midfielder out of the running and move towards making Tuchel their new boss.
