Thomas Tuchel asks Manchester United to sign Barcelona star in order to agree to coach the team

Manchester United’s management is approaching a critical decision regarding the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag after the team’s poor start to the Premier League season, marking their worst in history under the Dutch coach.

 

 

 

In recent developments, Thomas Tuchel has been mentioned as a potential replacement. A report from *Football Spain* suggests that Tuchel has already pinpointed Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo as a priority signing should he take over at Old Trafford.

 

 

 

Tuchel is reportedly eager to bring Araujo to Manchester United during the winter transfer window in January. United’s management is hopeful of securing the deal, especially given Araujo’s current injury and his hesitation to extend his contract with Barcelona, which could facilitate the move.

 

 

 

Araujo, a 25-year-old center-back, was linked with a transfer last summer, but it fell through due to his injury. His contract with Barcelona runs until June 2026. Since joining from Boston River in 2018, Araujo has made 150 appearances for the club, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists.
