Report reveals latest on Tuchel to Man Utd amid Chelsea crisis
A report has revealed that Man Utd have now given up on their efforts to persuade Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to join them in the summer.
Tuchel recently dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford and reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea, saying “I’ve said many times that I love to be here”.
Man Utd are actively seeking a new permanent manager for this summer with interim boss Ralf Rangnick set to move into a consultancy role, and Tuchel has been heavily touted for the position in recent days.

The Red Devils are understood to be big admirers of Chelsea’s German coach, but Tuchel himself rejected the notion.
Chelsea remain in a state of flux amid the Blues’ impending sale, but Tuchel has led the Stamford Bridge team to five successive wins to help temper that uncertainty.
Asked about the links to Man Utd on Friday, Tuchel replied: “There’s actually no reaction at all.
“Because do you feel me less committed to the club or less involved in the club in my situation? Absolutely not.
“I’ve said many times that I love to be here, that I love to work for Chelsea and that this club has everything that it needs to make me happy.
“And that’s why there’s no need.
