JAKARTA - Bayern Munich coach, Thomas Tuchel, will replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United Manager. This hot rumor was revealed by the prestigious German media, SportBILD.

Not only players will be thrown away. Ten Hag was also involved in the warehouse washing plan when the club's minority shareholder, Sir Jim Radcliffe, made a team overhaul.

Ratcliffe, which owns 25% of MU's shares, seems to have the authority to buy and sell players.

Including the fate of the manager. Ten Hag's position is not safe because of MU's poor performance.

Last season, Ten Hag was only able to win the English League Cup or Carabao Cup. While all other trophies have been bought up by neighboring club Manchester City.

The Red Devils have the same situation this season. They were eliminated in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. In fact, MU could not compete in the Europa League because it was at the bottom of the Champions League group standings.

In the 2023/2024 Premier League competition, MU is still wide just to go up one strip. As soon as he improves his position, MU then drops again. So on until the 21st week of the competition.

MU did rise to sixth place. One step more, this 21 Premier League champion was able to break through the top five.

However, instead of going up the position, MU actually slipped again. Now, they are stuck in eighth place.

Ten Hag's unsatisfactory performance raises speculation about the change of manager. His only successor is Thomas Tuchel.

Even though he is still in charge of Bayern, Tuchel does not want to return to England. The former Chelsea Manager's destination, Manchester United. Tuchel is eager to puzzle the Champions League champion three times.

According to BILD, Tuchel was under heavy pressure at Bayern. Especially after Bayern were eliminated in the German Cup (DFB-Pocal).

Meanwhile, in the DFB/DFL-Supercup event or the German Super Cup, Bayern were even massacred by RB Leipzig 0-3.

In the Bundesliga 2023/2024 competition, Bayern still had to work extra hard to catch up with the points of the leader of the standings, Bayer Leverkusen.

However, Bayern still has hope in domestic and Champions League competitions.

If Tuchel sets the record as Bayern's first coach to not win trophies over the past 12 years, then his future will be even more gloomy. However, MU actually opened up opportunities if Tuchel was unemployed.
