Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has dismissed suggestions that he is open to becoming the next manager of Manchester United.

With Chelsea facing a period of uncertainty due to the ownership of the club and its financial situation, reports have claimed that Tuchel may entertain a departure from Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

However, when quizzed on the matter on Friday, Tuchel reaffirmed his affection for Chelsea, seemingly ruling out the chance of a switch to Old Trafford.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Tuchel said: "I have no reaction at all. Do you feel me less committed to the club or less involved in the club in my situation?

"I think absolutely not. I talk many times about how I love to be here, love to work for Chelsea and this club has everything it needs to make me happy."

Many of the candidates who will attempt to buy Chelsea over the coming days and weeks will likely prioritise retaining the services of Tuchel should they become the club's owners. body check tags ::
