Former England and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson believes Manchester United could be 'kicking themselves' for not waiting to appoint Thomas Tuchel as their new manager.
Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea just over a week ago following disagreements behind the scenes with new owner Todd Boehly. The German was appointed as Frank Lampard's successor in January 2021 and guided the club to three major trophies, winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
His tenure was packed with successes and Chelsea's decision to sack him was described as being harsh by general football supporters and pundits alike. However, the Blues' new owner wanted a different philosophy, quickly identifying Graham Potter as Tuchel's ideal successor.
