Chelsea ownership hopeful Nick Candy has sent a subtle warning to Manchester United that he would have every intention of keeping Thomas Tuchel as manager were he to be successful in replacing Roman Abramovich.
The German has been linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge as a result of the sanctions brought against Abramovich by the UK government, leaving the future of the club up in the air. Manchester United are set to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent replacement following Ralph Rangnick's spell in the summer and Tuchel has been linked with the seat at Old Trafford.
Candy is leading a consortium in the race to buy Chelsea from the Russian, with the deadline for bid having now past. The billionaire has spoken out in the press about the brilliance of Tuchel and just how impressed he has been with him on and off the pitch.
