Manchester United fans’ reaction to Rio Ferdinand and Thomas Tuchel’s exciting moment says it all

This is because Tuchel has emerged as one of the standout options to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United this summer.

The German is expected to leave Bayern this summer and has now been ruled out of the Champions League, but if the reports are true, talks with United could begin this week.

But United fans reacted to what they saw club legends Ferdinand and Tuchel do on Wednesday.

Manchester United fans saw Rio Ferdinand in Thomas Tuchel’s ear

Before the match during TNT Sports’ coverage of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich from Tuchel, the moment between Ferdinand and the German boss was seen.

United fans noticed the moment and reacted on social media.

One said: “Ferdinand always got the inside scoop, I bet it was an interesting chat.”

“Rio Ferdinand convinces Tuchel to join Man Utd next season,” wrote a second close to agreeing with the first.

Another commented: “Even legends like Rio Ferdinand are trying to get him to join.”

The sentiment was shared by another who wrote: “Rio Ferdinand recruits Thomas Tuchel for United.”

Countless other fans commented along similar lines, some being more subtle with what they were suggesting.

Would Tuchel be a good fit at Old Trafford?

All signs at Old Trafford seem to point to the Ten Hag leaving this summer with a whimper as a 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace did them no favours.

So, assuming he does, the options on the table are slim and the best choice is undoubtedly Tuchel.

The German manager is a proven winner and won the Champions League during his time at Chelsea.

A proper manager who would do an excellent job at United, albeit a short-term solution.

He is a manager who improves players and could get the best out of some players who are struggling right now.

Best option this summer if Ten Hag is removed from his position.
