Manchester United’s hopes of hiring Thomas Tuchel as their next manager have been ended by his decision to sign a new contract with England which, according to Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham, was not impacted by the Red Devils’ long-time interest.
Tuchel was initially tied to England until the end of the World Cup this summer but inked a new two-year extension on Thursday, ending United’s hope of reigniting a pursuit which involved two rounds of talks with the German tactician in 2024.
