According to sources in Munich, the 50-year-old believes he is guaranteed to get the job. This comes after Bayern announced that Tuchel was leaving the club due to Bayer Leverkusen’s expected crowning as Bundesliga champions.

However, Bayern then offered Tuchel a new contract in a surprise U-turn, but he turned it down, leading to speculation that he may be identified as the man to replace Ten Hag at United. Tuchel is said to be eager to prove himself in the Premier League and has ‘unfinished business’ in England.

He received a new three-year contract, but his position was reportedly compromised by disputes over transfers with director Marina Granovskaia. Tuchel expressed his surprise and disappointment at leaving Chelsea in an open letter after being sacked in September 2022.

Additionally, there is an invitation to join a new WhatsApp community that promises to deliver daily Mirror Football content, special offers, promotions, and advertisements from both the community and its partners. The community also offers access to major boxing, UFC, WWE, and MLB events for a single monthly payment, with coverage available through various providers such as BT, EE, Sky, and Virgin Media.
