Tuchel shuts down move to Manchester United

Thomas Tuchel has dismissed rumours he will take over as Manchester United manager in the wake of Chelsea’s off-field problems.

Chelsea face new ownership in the next few weeks and many analysts, including Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher, have claimed Manchester United should plot a move for the German.

“Actually no reaction at all,” Tuchel said about the Manchester United links. “Do you feel me less committed to the club or less involved in the club? Absolutely not.

“I have said many times that I love to be here and this club has everything what it needs to make me happy. There is no need. We have plenty of reasons to stay at the moment.”
