Thomas Tuchel is the top candidate to take over from Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, while Newcastle are interested in signing Jarrod Bowen.

Paraphrased: Thomas Tuchel is the leading contender to succeed Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, with Newcastle targeting a move for Jarrod Bowen.

Thomas Tuchel is the frontrunner to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager, according to The Guardian. Tuchel, who recently left Bayern Munich, is highly regarded by United due to his temperament and impressive CV. He has experience working at top clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, where he won the 2021 Champions League. Other candidates on United’s shortlist include Kieran McKenna of Ipswich Town, Thomas Frank of Brentford, Gareth Southgate, and Mauricio Pochettino, who recently left Chelsea.

Newcastle United have set their sights on Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen for the summer transfer window. Both players have been identified by Newcastle’s recruitment team as potential targets. The club acknowledges that these moves will be complicated and expensive, and they may need to sell players to fund their recruitment. However, the interest in Calvert-Lewin and Bowen is genuine, and they are among the top targets for Newcastle this summer.

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran is still interested in joining Chelsea, despite the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Duran has been linked with a move to Chelsea for some time, and his interest remains even without a manager in place at the club. Chelsea had a turbulent season, but they could still attract young talents like Duran. The player’s agent has confirmed that it was never about Pochettino wanting Duran, but rather the club itself.

The club’s director of football, Neil Dewsnip, is driving the pursuit of Rooney.
