Schmeichel Endorses Tuchel as Ideal Replacement for Ten Hag at Man Utd

As long as the Dutchman remains in charge, United are currently positioned 14th in the Premier League. However, additional defeats could ultimately lead to his departure.

On the Seaman Says podcast, Schmeichel said: "I think with Tuchel and the last two jobs that he had at Chelsea and Bayern Munich, he's been at those two clubs at the wrong time in their history. Chelsea was a mess when he was there and there was so much internal fighting.

"There's new owners coming in and so many things were happening with Bayern. The same thing, they changed the whole board of directors, they changed the whole leadership of the club. They lasted for one year and that was precisely the year that he was there.

"I really like Thomas Tuchel. Being around the Champions League and interviewing him, listening to what he's saying when he's in the technical area, and his personality, he just looks like somebody who could be a good manager at Manchester United.

"I don't think he had his way at Chelsea. I know for sure he didn't have his way at Bayern. I just think he's got such a great aura around him that he fits a bill."
