Manchester United are reportedly in talks with former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel, who is said to be keen on remaining at Chelsea if he can continue working in a similar vein.
United maintain a deliberate policy of taking time over the appointment of their new manager.
Despite having already spoken to three candidates, Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino and an unidentified man.
A second round of interviews are expected to take place in the coming days to decide which of Ten Hag and Pochettino will be hired.
But Bild are reporting that Manchester United have had contact with Thomas Tuchel, who emerged as a surprise candidate for the club’s managerial position.
Chelsea will have limited spending power and transfer plans in the event that Roman Abramovich sells the club.
The report claims that Tuchel has already reiterated his desire to stay on with Chelsea, providing he can maintain the same managerial structure.
However, the club is still unable to sign players at this time, and it is uncertain when this will change, as the club is awaiting its new owners to be named and confirmed.
The past few weeks have been a trying time for the Chelsea manager, who has had to deal with a number of hard questions.
Additionally, his wife, who has been married to him for 13 years, filed for divorce in March.
Chelsea suffered a surprising loss at home to Brentford during the weekend when the visitors managed to score four goals and come away with a victory.
They are only five points ahead in the standings and will do their best to avoid falling into an unlikely fight for fourth place.
Tuchel was not the only manager with whom United discussed a possible position; the club also contacted other candidates, including former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.
Ralf Rangnick, who is currently serving as interim manager at United until the end of the season, knows current Chelsea Coach, Tuchel well from his time in Germany.
Rangnick will help United make an informed decision when it comes to appointing a new head coach.
It is believed that the united boss is a big fan of Ten Hag, and Ten Hag has already spoken to United about ensuring that he has input on the club’s transfer business.
