Manchester United legend names Thomas Tuchel as suitable manager for club
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has named Thomas Tuchel as a manager he believes would be “good” for the club.
Schmeichel also voiced his support for the current Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, who is facing significant pressure due to the team’s poor performance this season.
Currently, Ten Hag’s side sits in 14th place on the Premier League table following a recent goalless draw with Aston Villa.
Speaking on the Seaman Says podcast with Betway, Schmeichel remarked, “With the last two jobs Thomas Tuchel had, at Chelsea and at Bayern Munich, he was at those two clubs at the wrong time. I like Thomas Tuchel; I really like him. Being around the Champions League, talking to him and interviewing him, listening to him talk to his players in the technical area, he just looks like someone who would be a good manager for Manchester United.”
However, he emphasized his ongoing support for Ten Hag, stating, “But, Erik ten Hag is still the manager and I will support him because I want the club to do well. If that doesn’t work then maybe then we talk about a change.”
Tuchel is currently without a managerial position after departing from Bayern Munich a few months ago.
