WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO MANAGERS ON UNITED’S SHORTLIST BESIDES THE ENGLAND BOSS THOMAS TUCHEL?

Manchester United identify Thomas Tuchel as the "ideal" manager to replace Ruben Amorim. Discover the hurdles in his England deal.

Who are the other two managers on United’s shortlist besides the England boss Thomas Tuchel?
Will Thomas Tuchel leave England for Man Utd?

Manchester United have their eyes on Thomas Tuchel, according to Caught Offside. The club just let Ruben Amorim go earlier this week, so they're actively hunting for their next manager. Tuchel, a 52-year-old German who’s already made a name for himself across Europe, has jumped to the top of their list. But signing him won’t be easy—he’s currently tied up with England’s national team.

Tuchel’s story is pretty interesting. He was born in Krumbach and never had a long-playing career, but in 2007, he started coaching FC Augsburg’s reserve squad. Not exactly glamorous, but it got him started. Things got serious for him at Mainz 05, and then he really made waves at Borussia Dortmund. After that, he racked up trophies at Paris Saint-Germain, showing he could handle the biggest clubs and the biggest egos.

When Chelsea came calling, Tuchel led them to a Champions League title, plus the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. Still, his time at Stamford Bridge ended on a sour note after clashes with the club’s owners. He landed at Bayern Munich next and picked up the Bundesliga title in 2022/23, but once again, things ended messily. Now, he’s in charge of England, and so far it’s looking like a great match—they’re unbeaten in ten games under him.

So what’s next for Tuchel? With several big clubs circling, Manchester United seem especially keen. They’re after someone who can bring stability and success, and Tuchel’s track record fits the bill. But there’s a snag: Tuchel’s focused on England’s World Cup run, and he won’t be available until after 2026. Even then, nothing’s guaranteed—he might stick with England, or he could decide to take a break. United can’t put all their eggs in one basket; they’ll need to keep looking at other options while they wait to see how things shake out.

Benjamin Sesko’s magic flick earns Manchester United a dramatic point

Manchester United left it late, grabbing a dramatic draw against West Ham at the London Stadium. Tomas Soucek seemed to have won it for the Hammers with his second-half goal, but Benjamin Sesko popped up in stoppage time with a clever finish to snatch a point for United, who’ve been on a good run. The first half really dragged. United couldn’t break West Ham down at all. Everyone in a claret shirt just sat deep. Luke Shaw came closest, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared his shot off the line.

After the break, things actually got interesting. Four minutes in, Soucek bundled one in from close range. Casemiro thought he’d levelled things up after an hour, but VAR ruled his header out for offside. Both teams had chances as the clock ran down, but it was Sesko who finally found the net deep into stoppage time, saving United right at the end.

Man United player ratings vs West Ham

Senne Lammens – 6

Came up big early to deny Summerville from a distance. No chance with Soucek’s goal.

Diogo Dalot – 4

Had a tough time with Summerville’s pace and kept giving the ball away. Picked up a needless yellow.

Lisandro Martínez – 6

Easily the most composed passer at the back, breaking lines a few times. Solid defensively for the most part.

Luke Shaw – 5

Almost scored in the first half, but his shot was cleared off the line. Then stepped out of position before Soucek’s goal, which cost United.

Casemiro – 7

Pretty solid in midfield—broke up play and timed his tackles well. Scored with a header, but it didn’t count.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6

Kept things ticking in the middle but couldn’t really hurt West Ham. Lost Soucek for the goal.

Amad – 5

Had a decent look before halftime but hit the side netting. Didn’t offer his usual spark.

Matheus Cunha – 4

Barely got involved. Dropped deep to get on the ball but didn’t do anything with it.

Bryan Mbeumo – 5

Ran hard, tracked back, and helped defensively, but didn’t threaten much in attack.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6

Came on for Maguire for the last 20 minutes and made a couple of crucial blocks as West Ham pressed for another.

Benjamin Sesko – 7

Subbed in for Cunha in the second half and poked home in stoppage time to grab United a point.

DISCOVER WHICH MANCHESTER UNITED STARS WILL MISS THE WEST HAM CLASH

Michael Carrick confirms Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt will miss Manchester United’s clash with West Ham as the win streak nears 5.

Michael Carrick Confirms Mason Mount Out For Manchester United vs West Ham

Here’s the latest on Man United’s injury list and who’s likely to return when they take on West Ham.

Man United head to the London Stadium on Tuesday night without three key players. All of them are still recovering. Michael Carrick, who’s already chalked up four straight wins since taking over, is aiming to stretch that run to five. United are right in the mix for a Champions League spot now, just three points off third-placed Aston Villa.

They’ll want to keep racking up points, but after the West Ham game, there’s nearly a two-week gap before they play Everton. That’s not enough time for any of the injured guys to make it back for West Ham, though Carrick’s hoping at least one of them will be ready for the Everton trip later this month.

So, who’s out? The same trio that missed the weekend win over the Spurs. None of them will feature in East London. De Ligt hasn’t played since beating Crystal Palace at the end of November. Carrick says it’s still too soon to predict exactly when he’ll be fit again.

Dorgu is dealing with a hamstring injury from the Arsenal match last month. He’ll be out for about two months and probably won’t return until after the March international break. Mount has already missed the last two games after picking up a small knock in training. He won’t make it in time for West Ham, but Carrick expects him back to face Everton.

“Mason probably won’t be ready for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely by the Everton game, he’ll be back,” Carrick told reporters before the match. “Matta, we’ll see how he gets on… the Everton game still feels a way off, so we’ll just have to watch his progress. He’s doing well, heading in the right direction, but Mason’s a bit closer.”
