Thomas Tuchel Rumoured To Join Manchester United
Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the Premier Leaguer and confessed his love for the league and country during the UCL semi-final tie press conference.
"This is a tricky road where you lead me. I’d rather not answer. But it is no secret that I loved it in England and I loved it in the Premier League for sure. It was a very, very special time in England, and I remember it very well," said Thomas Tuchel.
The German has been rumloured to replace Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United, a decision that highly depends upon the outcome of the FA Cup final, where the Red Devils face city rovals Manchester City in a repeat of last year's final at the very same venue, Wembley Stadium.
