Thomas Tuchel's condition for signing for Manchester United that affects Barça

Erik ten Hag's continuity at Manchester United 'hangs by a thread'. The 'red devils' have had a catastrophic start to the season, registering three wins, four draws and three losses in all competitions, occupying 14th in the Premier League and 21st in the Europa League. For that reason, the Mancunians think about giving a turn to the dynamics of the team and would look to replace the Dutchman with a new coach.

From the offices of Old Trafford they handle several options, Xavi Hernández being one of them, although Thomas Tuchel would be the preferred one of the sporting management. The German, with a successful recent past in the Premier League during his time at Chelsea, where he won the Champions League, and experience in big clubs such as PSG and Bayern Munich, fits the profile sought by the Red Devils, who value his hierarchy and experience.

Tuchel's request to sign for United

According to 'El Nacional.cat', in order to complete his move to United, Tuchel has requested the signing of a star from FC Barcelona. This is Ronald Araújo, an old desire of the German coach, who already tried to sign him when he was in charge of Bayern. While the Uruguayan centre-back is recovering from his right thigh injury, his future is a matter of discussion, since his contract expires in 2026 and there is still no news of its renewal.

For this reason, Can Barça do not rule out transferring him in the coming months, as long as a significant offer arrives, and in Manchester they would be willing to 'throw the house out the window' for the defender. However, if the Catalans manage to get closer to the Uruguayan in the coming months and the possibilities of extending his contract increase, the exit door would be closed definitively since Hansi Flick considers him key to his project, although the millions of the Mancunians could decide his future.
