Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel would reportedly be open to a return to the Premier League amid uncertainty over Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United.
Tuchel has been one of the names linked with replacing Ten Hag at Old Trafford but has previously dismissed the story and insisted his only focus was on reaching the Champions League final with Bayern Munich. Reports earlier this week claimed that United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe had already made contact with Tuchel, who he is said to 'value enormously', about his plans for the 2024/25 season.
Although it is claimed a decision on the Dutchman's future won't be made until the end of the season, journalist Ben Jacobs reports that sources close to the German boss say he would be open to taking the United job. He adds that Tuchel feels he has 'unfinished business' in the Premier League and still wants to prove his worth.
