“I want to play a certain type of football with this players. I have talked with then and they have all agreed to join me at Manchester United. We need to act fast”-Fans went crazy as Thomas Tuchel reveals how his lineup will look like next season after his move to Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag, the current manager of Manchester United, finds himself facing an increasingly uncertain future as discussions about his tenure continue to intensify. With his contract set to expire in a year, there is growing speculation that he might not complete his term. Adding fuel to the fire, there are rumors that Thomas Tuchel, who has recently announced his departure from Bayern Munich at the season’s end, is being considered as a potential successor.

Inside sources such as Kicker have hinted that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, recently appointed as United’s head of football operations, has already initiated talks with Tuchel. Ratcliffe’s interest in Tuchel signals a proactive approach in steering the club in a new direction, possibly marking a significant overhaul in both management and squad composition.

If Tuchel is to take charge, it’s expected that he will make sweeping changes, especially to the playing staff. High-profile signings under Ten Hag, like Casemiro and Antony, have not lived up to expectations and might find themselves exiting Old Trafford. This reshuffle could extend to other key players as well.

Christian Eriksen, another of Ten Hag’s signings, although contracted until next summer, might be replaced to inject more youth into the midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes. Raphael Varane, despite his pedigree, has had a lackluster season, and repeated omissions from the starting lineup suggest that his future at United could also be in jeopardy.

Moreover, Anthony Martial is set to depart at the end of the season, a decision already cemented by Ten Hag and one that Tuchel won’t need to revisit. Similarly, Sofyan Amrabat’s stint at Manchester United is likely to end with his loan, given that his performances haven’t made a compelling case for a permanent deal. Surprisingly, Marcus Rashford, whose current form has not mirrored his previous successes, is rumored to be on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain, indicating a possible high-profile exit.

Looking at potential arrivals, Tuchel is expected to shore up the midfield, particularly if Casemiro departs. Khephren Thuram, currently with OGC Nice and out of contract next year, is on the watchlist of several Premier League teams and might be an attractive acquisition. The defense could also see new faces; Miguel Gutierrez from Girona is a potential candidate for left-back, although any deal might be complicated by a Real Madrid buy-back clause. Another possible addition is Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, who is keen to prove himself in the Premier League.

There might also be a reunion in the cards for Jadon Sancho, presently on loan at Borussia Dortmund. Sancho’s resurgence under a different management might lead to a revitalization of his career back at Manchester United.

Should Tuchel’s appointment go through, we could anticipate a Manchester United team shaped in his vision, potentially lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring players like Onana, Dalot, Tapsoba, Martinez, Gutierrez; Mainoo, Thuram; Sancho, Fernandes, Garnacho; and Hojlund, marking a new chapter in the club’s storied legacy.
