Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is under massive pressure following a poor start to the season.

Many fans have called on the club to part ways with the Dutchman, who has insisted that the club is on the right path.

Former Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has been heavily linked with the role and is reportedly open to it.

Thomas Tuchel has been touted as the possible Erik ten Hag replacement at Manchester United

Tuchel left Bayern at the end of last season after their 11-year dominance in the Bundesliga was emphatically ended by Bayer Leverkusen.

Reports in England indicate he is the leading candidate for the Man United coaching role if the 20-time English champions part ways with Erik ten Hag.

What did Tuchel say about Man United job?

According to Metro Sports, Tuchel, who reportedly spoke to the club in the summer, is open to managing Man United.

He is currently jobless after his departure from Bayern last season. The ex-PSG boss is one of the few big-name managers.

Fans have welcomed the idea of having Tuchel as coach, but there are doubts about his style due to the way his Chelsea spell ended.

Man United's 2023/24 season

The Red Devils have started the season with three wins from 10 matches. Their victories have come against Fulham, Southampton, and Barnsley.

Since their 7-0 over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, they have drawn four and lost one of their last five matches.

After last weekend's 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, Man United have eight points from seven Premier League games, their worst start to a Premier League season.

Big defeats at Old Trafford to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have turned up the heat on Erik ten Hag, who said he is not concerned by the sack talk.
