INEOS CEO Jim Ratcliffe: Manchester United are looking into the possibility of bringing former Chelase manager Thomas Tuchel to replace Erik Ten Hag after the side is sitting in 14th place in the Premier League in what has been their worst ever start in the top flight.

Manchester United’s majority stake holder is said to be holding an emergency meeting on Tuesday to decide whether Ten Hag has a future at the club after the side only won two of their opening seven games. According to a report by Manchester Evening News, former Bayern and Chelsea head coach Tuchel is being considered as the Dutch coach’ replacement.

Tuchel has recently stepped away from his role as Bayern Munich head coach after the side’s 11-year streak of winning consecutive Bundesliga titles came to an end in his tenure. His time in Europe has also seen him coach teams in the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, where he led the side to the 2021 UEFA Champions League title.
