Following Thursday night's devastating 2-1 loss to Greece, an unexpected candidate for the England captaincy has surfaced, and it could have significant ramifications for Manchester United. Lee Carsley, the interim manager, faced a lot of backlash after choosing to try something new during the Nations League match. Carsley started Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Cole Palmer as attacking midfielders together with Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka to give width, rather than an all-out striker to replace the injured Harry Kane.
When he acknowledged that they had worked on the system "for 20 minutes" during training, he faced more criticism after the final whistle. And it didn't end there. At the news conference held after the game, the acting manager seemed to dismiss any chance of permanently joining England, stating that he was "hopeful" to rejoin the under-21 squad.
According to BILD correspondent Christian Falk, there seems to be an unexpected development: Thomas Tuchel might be the future manager of England.The former manager of Bayern Munich and Chelsea is reportedly in talks to accept the position. Although Tuchel is one among the front-runners to succeed Erik ten Hag should the Dutchman be dismissed of his Manchester United duties, this most recent news may complicate United's preparations. During a strategic review this summer, United had conversations with several prominent contenders, such as Mauricio Pochettino, Marco Silva, and Thomas Tuchel, who was formerly considered "first in line" to assume the position.
Although Tuchel's name has recently been mentioned again, it was reported this week that United has not contacted the former manager of Borussia Dortmund over the position.As previously noted, Lee Carsley disclosed at his press conference on Thursday night that he would like to rejoin the under-21 squad. "I was a little taken aback after the last camp regarding the job being mine to lose and everything else," he remarked.My mandate is quite clear. I have three camps to complete, three games remaining, and hopefully returning to the 21s after that. It has hardly made an impression.
