Manchester United managerial target Thomas Tuchel to stay as England manager until 2028

Manchester United are big admirers of Thomas Tuchel and he was expected to be among the Red Devils’ main targets in their search for a permanent head coach in the summer, according to The Times. However, the Old Trafford club are set to miss out on the German as he is expected to sign a new deal to stay as the England head coach until 2028. The news could be confirmed before today’s draw for the 2026-27 Nations League and Man United have to strike his name off their list of targets.

The Red Devils approached Tuchel to succeed Erik ten Hag, and he had several meetings with their board in the summer of 2024. He spoke with Man United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the time but ruled himself out of consideration.

Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim until the end of the season and has led the Red Devils to four wins and one draw in five Premier League games in charge.

The former Man United star has impressed and is doing his chances of getting the job permanently plenty of good.

Tuchel has been linked with the job since Amorim was fired as his initial contract expires at the end of the World Cup in July.
