Two commentators have provided an explanation as to why it would be a mistake for Manchester United to replace Erik ten Hag with Thomas Tuchel, and a story has given additional light on purported discussions that have taken place between the German and the FA over the possibility of the German becoming the next manager of England.
Ten Hag is under a great deal of criticism as a result of the fact that he was responsible for managing Manchester United’s worst ever start to a Premier League season, which consisted of eight points in seven matches. Last Tuesday, executives from Manchester United got together to discuss the manager’s future. Five days have passed, and although it seems as though the Dutchman has been granted a respite, his position is still very much in jeopardy because of the situation.
It is understood by TEAMtalk On the other hand, Ten Hag has been informed that the next two matches are extremely important if he wants to avoid being fired. On the following Saturday, Manchester United will play Brentford at home in the Premier League. Five days later, they will face former manager Jose Mourinho and his Fenerbahce team.
We have it on good authority that both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, who are both now without employment, are at the top of Manchester United’s replacement shortlist. In contrast, former Manchester United defenders William Gallas and Paul Parker believe that Tuchel will not help the club’s current situation.
In the first place, Gallas expressed his reservations over Tuchel’s capacity to deal with the strain that comes with managing what is undoubtedly the most successful club in the world of football.
“Would Thomas Tuchel be able to handle the pressure that comes with becoming the manager of Manchester United? According to this statement made by Gallas, which was reported by The Manchester Evening News, “I don’t think any manager can.”
The pressure and the expectations are too much for anybody to handle, as evidenced by the fact that a great number of managers have failed to win the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson left the position. It is possible that this was a strategy to place Ruud van Nistelrooy on the bench and wait for the appropriate time to give him the job. I am not sure whether this was the case, but it may have been a tactic.
Parker, a former defender for Manchester United, went even farther and stated that Tuchel is not a good match for football and the Red Devils. In addition, Parker, who was a player for Manchester United and won two Premier League titles with the club during his playing career, referred to Tuchel as little more than a “short-term manager.”
Parker is cited as saying, “People are trying to push Tuchel, but he doesn’t fit Man United.” The MEN reported that Parker made this statement. Tuchel is always on a short-term basis, and Manchester United cannot afford to have a manager on a short-term. They must remain loyal to their management, regardless of whether that manager is Erik ten Hag or another individual.
That the club would not want to fire him because of the compensation he would receive is something that people are talking about, but it is simply another thing that people are making up. “They are making up reasons to justify the club’s desire to keep him from leaving.”
Truth about the negotiations between Tuchel and England
Tuchel is reportedly in discussions with the Football Association (FA) to become the future manager of England, according to a number of different sites, including BILD.
The current manager is Lee Carsley, although he is just serving in an interim role. According to The Telegraph, he does not want to be promoted to the position permanently.
This has made it possible for Tuchel, who has been away from management for five months since leaving Bayern Munich in May, to return to the field. He is now prepared to resume his managerial career.
On the other hand, The Independent claims that the connections between Tuchel and the England position are not as strong as they appear to be.
“the weekend’s reports of talks with Thomas Tuchel are meanwhile seen as an attempt by those close to the German to put pressure on Manchester United, who have an interest if they do sack Erik ten Hag,” the publication reported. “[T]hese reports are now being interpreted as an attempt to put pressure on Manchester United.”
To put it another way, Tuchel’s team is employing the supposed discussions with England as a strategy to coerce Manchester United into making a decision.
The most recent transfer news about Manchester United
Regarding other matters, it has been claimed that Ten Hag has reached the conclusion that Harry Maguire is no longer required, and a sale will now be pursued in January.
Bids as low as £10 million will be taken into consideration, taking into account Maguire’s advanced age of 31 and the fact that he is now in the last year of his contract.
As for other news, Gary Neville and Roy Keane, two legends of Manchester United, have a disagreement on the possibility of their old club re-signing Danny Welbeck.
There was a strong disagreement among the analysts on whether or not Welbeck should return to the team, despite the fact that the striker has been in outstanding form for Brighton this season.
Last but not least, it is believed that Liverpool is expressing a significant interest in acquiring left-back Alvaro Carreras Fernandez, who was transferred by Manchester United to Benfica during the summer of 2017.
The Spanish player has been performing exceptionally well ever since he moved to Portugal permanently, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are also showing interest in him. There have also been rumors that Manchester United may make a speedy return, and they have the ability to do so through a buy-back provision.
