Former Chelsea star, Jason Cundy has revealed the manager Manchester United must avoid as they seek a replacement for Erik ten Hag.

Reports have circulated that Manchester United are keen to part ways with manager Erik ten Hag after this weekend's FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Several names have been thrown into the rumour mill, including Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, Roberto De Zerbi, and ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel is searching for a job after failing to find an agreement with Bayern Munich to extend his stay in the German capital.

Cundy, who played for Chelsea between 1988 and 1992 insists Tuchel can be a difficult manager to work with.

He told talkSPORT, “He will fall out with someone. He falls out with everyone. Eventually, he’ll move on because he’s not easy, a bit like [Antonio] Conte, he’s not easy to get on with.

“When trophies are coming in, perfect, as soon as those little performances start to dip, one or two things don’t go right, and then all of a sudden he starts having a pop at people, there’s a pattern there.”

Pulse Sports reported that Manchester United could sack Ten Hag in the coming weeks, and have already approached McKenna, who is reportedly the primary target.
