Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has tried to play down speculation he is interested in leaving the club to join Manchester United.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s search for a new permanent manager is set to intensify in the coming weeks following their Champions League exit.<\/p>\n

Other candidates include Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s precarious situation, however, has alerted United to the potential availability of Tuchel, who has rebuilt his reputation with the Blues following his difficult end to his spell at Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Addressing the mounting speculation ahead of Saturday\u2019s FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough, Tuchel said: \u201cDo you feel me less committed or involved with this club. Absolutely not.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to work for Chelsea and this club has everything it needs to make me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
