Thomas Tuchel replacing Erik ten Hag at Man United was 'basically done', agent reveals... and he claims the German boss SHOULD have picked Old Trafford over England

Thomas Tuchel should have accepted an offer to replace Erik ten Hag as manager of Manchester United, according to agent Pini Zahavi.

Tuchel will start work as England boss in January after agreeing to succeed Gareth Southgate last month.

The German had been out of work since May when he left Bayern Munich after a trophy-less 14 months.

Although he failed to win any silverware with Bayern, Tuchel famously delivered three titles - including the UEFA Champions League - for Chelsea, where he was in charge from January 2021 to September 2022.
