Manchester United could be prepared to hire a German to replace Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are said to be in talks with Bayern Munich's departing coach this week.
Per Sky Germany, the Red Devils are talking with Thomas Tuchel's management team.
Tuchel, who worked at Chelsea in the Premier League, is set to leave Bayern despite the club's attempts to get him to stay.
The outlet adds that United's presence in the background is influencing that decision.
While Tuchel may consider a U-turn on his Bayern departure, he is more eager to get the Man United job should Erik ten Hag be fired.
