Man Utd ‘approach Thomas Tuchel to replace Ralf Rangnick but German refusing to quit Chelsea despite club turmoil’

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly approached Thomas Tuchel to become their new manager, according to reports in Germany.

The Blues future remains uncertain post Roman Abramovich as the potential takeover of the club rumbles on.

Now Bild claims that has led to United making contact with the former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund coach to enquire about his availability.

However, the report also states that Tuchel has informed them that he wants to stay at Chelsea as long as he can continue to work in the same vein.

Chelsea are currently not able to sign players due to the Government sanctions placed on the club.

But that is expected to be changed once a takeover has been completed.

And it has also been a stressful time for Tuchel, 48, off the pitch.

His wife Sissi, who he wed 13 years ago, filed divorce papers in March.

Chelsea suffered a shock 4-1 defeat at home to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.

Now Tuchel will be hoping his side can bounce back tonight against Real Madrid as they look to continue their defence of the Champions League.
