Thomas Tuchel confirms Bayern Munich decision amid Man United Erik ten Hag pressure

Ahead of Bayern's final game of the season on Saturday against Hoffenheim, the German admitted that talks had taken place over him possibly staying but no agreement was reached.

"The job requires full energy, but it also gives me a lot of energy. It
