Thomas Tuchel is reportedly on Manchester United's shortlist of potential new managers if they decide to axe Erik ten Hag.
The German is poised to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, as announced in February, even though more than 19,000 supporters have signed a petition for him to stay.
Ten Hag is fighting for his future with United sixth in the Premier League table and revving up for a repeat of last year's FA Cup final against Manchester City towards later this month.
Tuchel has led Bayern to a disappointing season domestically but has every chance of reaching the Champions League final. Bayern take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final next week, having drawn 2-2 in Germany on Tuesday.
The Times reports that Tuchel is on a list of managers under consideration, although concerns have been raised about his habit of falling out with his bosses at Chelsea and Bayern.

Erik ten Hag is fighting for his future but one win in his last six league games doesn't help
Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021 but was sacked in September 2022.
If he joined United, it could be a summer of radical upheaval as they prepare for a fire sale, with only three players safe from the chopping block.
Some believe Bayern could perform a u-turn on their decision to part ways with Tuchel after Ralf Rangnick became the third manager to reject becoming his successor.
