Surprise In Manchester United's New Manager Exchange: There's Thomas Tuchel

JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) is certain to have a new manager next season. Ralf Rangnick, who currently occupies the position, is only contracted for half a season.

This means that Rangnick will leave the position of Manchester United manager at the end of the season. A number of names have also emerged to fill the position that will be left by the man from Germany.

MU has indeed been linked with a number of top names. Starting from Zinedine Zidane, Erik Ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino.

Later, a surprising name emerged. He is the current Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel's position at Chelsea is indeed a question mark after the sanctions received by the club owner, Roman Abramovich. As a result of the sanctions, Chelsea is now affected and made the club's conditions become volatile.

On one occasion, Rangnick did not deny that Tuchel was the right candidate to occupy the position of Manchester United manager. However, he said it didn't make sense.

"It wouldn't make sense to think or speculate about it. Yes, Thomas Tuchel is a top manager, I know him well. He is Chelsea's manager at the moment, they are third in the table and still competing in the Champions League," Rangnick said, as reported by the Daily Mail, some time ago.

"Now there is an ownership issue within the club, (so) to speculate about him being a candidate for a job here in the summer doesn't make sense."

Recently, Tuchel has opened up about his future at Chelsea. He is currently still loyal to the London-based club.
