Because of the instability at Stamford Bridge right now as a result of the government's sanctions against owner Roman Abramovich, there is a great deal of conjecture over Tuchel's future, with the club potentially facing a terrible financial situation in a few months' time.

According to reports in the Daily Star, the German tactician is the top target for Manchester United, who are looking for a permanent replacement for Ralf Rangnick after his contract expires in the summer. Chelsea have enjoyed great success under the German tactician, and there would be no shortage of big clubs interested in bringing him to Stamford Bridge.

Johnson, on the other hand, is not sure that the Red Devils job is very appealing at the moment, stating that he does not believe he would be interested and that he would remain with the Blues as long as he was given a clear image of the club's future.

Thomas Tuchel to Man United?

If he receives some guidance from the Chelsea board regarding the status of the agreement, Johnson believes it is unlikely. This was reported by the Metro.

"However, if this circumstance persists over a period of twelve months, then absolutely." People will be looking for their own opportunities in the future.

"However, if this is completed within months and Tuchel and the players have gained some trust in that, then no, I don't believe he would be interested in the Manchester United position at all."
