Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he feels “sorry” for Thomas Tuchel after his dismissal.
Chelsea today, September 7, sacked Tuchel due to the non-performance of the club.
Although Eric ten Hag feels disturbed, he said “there is nothing I can say.”
“It’s Chelsea, not Man United. It’s early in the season, yes,” he added.
Tuchel parted company with the Blues just a day on from starting their Champions League campaign with a shock 1-0 loss at Dinamo Zagreb.
An indifferent start to their Premier League campaign that has produced three wins, two defeats and a draw has left Chelsea sixth in the table.
The news came as a surprise to many, though, given Chelsea spent big in the transfer window to sign the likes of Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Having also won the Champions League four months after joining the club in January 2021, most would have expected Tuchel to be afforded more time by the club’s new owners led by Todd Boehly.
United are one place and two points ahead of Chelsea in the infant Premier League.
