Schmeichel wants former Chelsea manager to replace Ten Hag

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has named former Chelsea and now Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel as favourite manger he would love to become the next Red Devils boss.

Man Utd’s form this season under manager Erik ten Hag has not been all that impressive, but the Dutchman has been tipped to remain at Old Trafford.

Schmeichel, who expressed admiration for Tuvhel’s football knowledge, said the German has what it takes to get the best out of the players.

While speaking on BeIN Sports, the former goalie said the former Chelsea manager did not fail at Stamford Bridge and should be given a chance at Old Trafford.

Hailing Tuchel, Schmeichel said the Bayern Munich boss projects authority and has the same kind of thing that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has.

“You know he’s the boss and you know what he’s doing. If Manchester United were in the market for a manager then he should be somebody mentioned in that respect,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich led by Tuchel are one of the favourites to play in the Champion League final in Wembley this season.

Their first leg in the semi final at Allianz Arena against Real Madrid ended in a 2-2 draw.
