52-year-old Champions League winner not in contention to replace Amorim at Man United

Speculation over who might replace Rúben Amorim at Manchester United should his tenure not go as planned has grown louder in recent weeks.

Among the names mooted by pundits and tabloids is Thomas Tuchel, the experienced German coach known for stints at Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

However, according to The Sun, United have decided to keep Tuchel off the table.

The club reportedly have no intention of pursuing the 52-year-old should Amorim depart, rejecting suggestions that he is in the running for the job.

Given Tuchel’s pedigree and recent managerial track record, it’s not surprising that his name has surfaced in rumours linking him to the Old Trafford hot seat.

The German manager guided Chelsea to Champions League triumph in 2021 in which his team beat Manchester City in the final.

With United publicly underperforming and under pressure, many saw Tuchel as a viable option to bring order and experience to a club longing for consistency.
