This comes just six months after giving current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a three-year contract.
But French outlet Le10 Sport claimed that United are lining up Tuchel as their alternative option if the Norwegian fails to steer the club back to the top.
And these reports have now been echoed in L’Equipe, with the French newspaper saying that the Red Devils have even informed the German of their interest.
The newspaper then confirms Le10 Sport’s exclusive, and adds that “three teams around Europe have let him know they continue to follow him closely, among which are Bayern Munich and Manchester United.”
United failed to qualify for this season’s Champions League despite Solskjaer’s brilliant run when he first took charge of the club as caretaker manager.
