Thomas Tuchel 'demands' the signing of Ronald Araujo to Manchester United

manchester united manager Erik ten HagHis job looks secure for now, but if his winless streak continues after the international break, he could be sacked without a second thought, having already been under immense pressure following a series of poor results.

Thomas Tuchel's name is being debated within the club to replace Ten Hag and according to a TEAMtalk report (citing Spanish source Fichajes)The German 'demands' the signing of Ronald Araujo Barcelona as a condition of accepting the coaching position at United. His interest in Araujo comes from afar, after he targeted the player during his time at Bayern Munich.

Araujo's selling price is It is expected to be approximately £84 million. – a sum that Barça had paid him earlier this year – although the TEAMtalk report adds that the player is “very happy” in Catalonia, where he is currently recovering from an injury.

It remains to be seen whether the Manchester United board take Tuchel's request into consideration should they eventually name the German, especially given that Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt were signed this summer along with other lucrative reinforcements.

Araujo's signing is an unlikely prospect

The signing of Ronald Araujo does not seem like a prospect that Manchester United will pursue with much intention, while Barcelona will not be interested in selling him either, as they are slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after several years of financial problems.

Furthermore, the Red Devils have spent very generously in the recent past, signing two very high-ceiling central defenders in the process, so there may not be a desire to buy more players in that position, especially someone It will be as expensive as Araujo.

Ten Hag's position as United manager remains precarious and Tuchel appears well placed to replace the Dutchman; However, Man Utd bosses are unlikely to grant their wish to sign Araujo if they offer him the job.
