Man United Should Have Signed Tuchel – Paul Scholes

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has voiced his skepticism regarding the hype surrounding Ruben Amorim’s potential appointment as the club’s new manager. With Erik ten Hag being sacked on Monday, Amorim appears to be a frontrunner for the vacant managerial role. However, Scholes believes the current enthusiasm for Amorim mirrors the initial excitement when Ten Hag first joined Manchester United.

Despite the buzz, Scholes is not convinced that Amorim is the right choice for the club. Instead, he argues that Manchester United should have pursued Thomas Tuchel, a manager with proven credentials and experience at the highest level. Scholes’ comments reflect a growing concern among fans and analysts about the club’s decision-making process in selecting its next manager.

As Manchester United navigates a challenging period, the appointment of a new manager will be crucial for the club’s future success. Scholes’ critique highlights the need for careful consideration and a strategic approach in this pivotal moment for one of football’s most storied clubs.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes said:

“I think Thomas Tuchel was the right one to coach Manchester United, but obviously he’s gone now with England. He’s someone that can manage an elite football club and win big games. He’s been there and done it.”

He added: “On Ruben Amorim – [the hype] feels a bit like Erik ten Hag [joined Manchester United]. He’s coming from the Portuguese league which is a bit better than the Dutch league. What he’s done there has been good – he looks charismatic, and he has a bit about him.”
