Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick says that it 'does not make sense' to discuss whether Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel could move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that it 'does not make sense' to discuss whether Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel could be a candidate to become the club's new manager this summer.

Rangnick will step aside for the arrival of a new boss at the end of the 2021-22 season, and Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax's Erik ten Hag continue to be strongly linked with the role.

However, it has also been claimed that Tuchel could be an option, with the sanctions imposed by the UK Government on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich causing severe issues at Stamford Bridge.

Rangnick has called the 48-year-old "a top manager" but has refused to be drawn on suggestions that the German could head to Old Trafford at the end of the campaign.

"It doesn't make sense at all to even think or speculate about that," Rangnick told reporters. "Yes, Thomas Tuchel is a top manager. Yes, I know him well. Yes, he was a player of mine in Ulm. Yes, he took his first job as a football coach in Stuttgart when I was the head coach there.

"We all know that but he is the manager of Chelsea right now, they're third, they're still in the Champions League and only because there are issues now around the ownership of this club, to speculate about maybe him being a candidate for the manager's here in the summer doesn't make sense to do that."

Man United are allegedly determined to announce their new head coach before the end of next month.
