According to French outlet Le10sport, Man United are admirers of Tuchel and have identified him as a potential replacement for Solskjaer. This report also claims that Barcelona and Bayern Munich are interested in the PSG manager as well.
Tuchel became the Ligue 1 club’s manager in the summer of 2018 and has so far won three trophies with them. In 93 matches under the 46-year-old, PSG have won 73 while drawing nine and losing 11. The Parisians might target the Champions League this season and if they are unable to win it or reach a phase in the knockout stages they aren’t satisfied with, there may be a chance of Tuchel leaving the club.
Manchester United may not finish in the top four of the Premier League but they have a fairly good chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League provided they win the Europa League this season. The club should be a bit patient with Solskjaer and give him some more time.
However, if they sack the Norwegian, Tuchel would be a suitable replacement.
