De Zerbi left Brighton last season and wants a say in player recruitment, which could be a problem for United and Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel is rumored to be the next Manchester United manager after leaving Bayern Munich. Tuchel wants to return to the Premier League and has reportedly agreed to a deal with United. Bayern Munich tried to keep Tuchel but believe he accepted United's offer. Vincent Kompany is expected to be Burnley's next manager despite a tough season. United is considering other options like Pochettino, McKenna, Southgate, Zidane, and Frank to replace Ten Hag. Ten Hag wants to stay at United and is focused on winning trophies. There is confidence at United in Tuchel's ability to manage experienced players and his success with Chelsea. The decision on Ten Hag's future will be made after the FA Cup final. Ten Hag is preparing for the final without Harry Maguire due to injury. He is motivated to win the trophy and believes in the team's potential. Maguire's availability for the Euros is uncertain due to a muscle problem.
