The future of Ten Hag is uncertain, and Tuchel is one of the potential candidates to take over at United if they decide to replace their current head coach. Ex-United goalkeeper Schmeichel has praised Tuchel’s football knowledge and authority, comparing him to Jurgen Klopp. He believes Tuchel has the pedigree and authority to be successful at a big club like United, emphasizing his track record of winning.

Though Schmeichel didn’t directly comment on whether Tuchel would fit into the United culture, he hinted that Tuchel’s abilities and experience make him a suitable candidate. However, he also mentioned that Bayern Munich has underperformed under Tuchel this season, failing to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 years and being eliminated from the DFB-Pokal in the second round.
