Yeah is the reason he left pool. If we want him we may have to wait a year or 2 .

United also desperate for him, so we’ll have competition.. (’if’ he does indeed do a u-turn on coming back into the game)we know how United like to throw money around.

Tuchel also wanted some time away from football when he left PSG and ended up joining us so I guess we'll have to wait and see. A new project might excite him again or it might not.
