Tuchel's Reason for Rejecting Man Utd Unveiled

German pundit Marcel Reif reveals that an agreement was on the verge of being reached for Thomas Tuchel to take over from Erik ten Hag.

He told BILD:  “I would have bet a lot that Tuchel would replace Ten Hag.

"I recently had another conversation with someone who is very close to that. It was pretty far along, almost in agreement.”

Reif says former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Tuchel pulled out of talks due to United insisting he would not have control of transfers.

He added, “As far as the squad is concerned, the considerations were different.

"Tuchel said pretty much at the finish line: ‘I’m not doing that! I won’t do that to myself again, that I go to a club and then things come from outside'. ”
