Sports Zone reports that the ex-Bayern Munich manager, presently guiding the German national team, is considered a “top contender” to assume control at Old Trafford.
At 35, Nagelsmann accrued valuable experience during his two-year stint at Bayern Munich before exiting the club in March 2023. Despite departing Bayern, Nagelsmann swiftly transitioned to helm the German national team, succeeding Hansi Flick. With his contract set to conclude post the European Championships this summer, Nagelsmann may open up to fresh opportunities in club management.
While Manchester United have displayed signs of improvement under Ten Hag post an uninspiring start to the season, the new co-owners reportedly harbor doubts regarding his methodologies. Should part-owners INEOS favor a managerial switch at season’s end, Nagelsmann is believed to top the shortlist. His commendable track record in club football, marked by successful tenures at Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, and Bayern Munich, renders him an enticing prospect for United’s new hierarchy.
Thomas Tuchel has purportedly expressed interest in assuming control at Old Trafford as well. With the former Chelsea tactician poised to be available come summer, the German harbors aspirations of another stint in the English Premier League, potentially posing competition for the managerial role alongside Nagelsmann.
United’s forthcoming Premier League encounter sees them facing Fulham at home on Saturday. Currently placed sixth in the standings after 25 games, trailing five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, securing victory against Fulham is imperative in their quest for a Champions League berth. Following the league fixture, Ten Hag’s squad squares off against Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup fifth-round encounter on Wednesday.
