'Man United are Lining Him Up To Be Their Next Manager' - Insider has new update

Thomas Tuchel remains the top target to replace Erik ten Hag at Man United despite talks with England, according to the club’s former chief scout.

Mick Brown, who worked at Old Trafford for over a decade during their most successful period and remains well-connected at the club, exclusively told Football Insider that the United board are keen to hire a big name in the hope of an immediate impact.

This comes after reports in Germany claimed the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss is in negotiations to take over from Lee Carsley as England boss.

Experience on the biggest stage, having won the Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge as well as multiple domestic trophies at PSG, has placed Tuchel at the top of United’s list of targets.

However, there are concerns that a more attractive offer could see him turn down the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford if United continue to delay Ten Hag’s sacking.

Pressure on the current boss has continued to grow, with United now 14th in the Premier League with just two wins in seven games.

On top of that, they have suffered a difficult start to their Champions League campaign with two draws in their first two fixtures and are now winless in five in all competitions.

Thomas Tuchel named Man United top target despite England talks

Brown previously told Football Insider that United could delay their decision on Ten Hag’s future until close to the January transfer window.

Now, the former Man United, Aston Villa and West Ham scout insisted that they may have to act quickly to secure Tuchel as an option before he is handed a more desirable opportunity elsewhere.

“He seems to be everybody’s first choice at the moment,” he told Football Insider.

“Both Man United and England are lining him up to be their next manager.

“It’s certainly a possibility and I’ve heard Man United are lining him up as their top target if they do decide to sack Ten Hag.

“I think they’ll look to bring somebody in with winning experience at the top level so that they can come in and really make a difference.

“But they also need somebody who can deal with their issues off the field as well.

“He is definitely one of their options, but it will depend on whether he feels he wants to take the United job, because he might have more attractive offers by that stage.“
