Manchester United plan to move for Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel before the end of the season.

The Daily Star says they have made Tuchel their No1 choice to replace Ralf Rangnick.

And they are hopeful of completing a deal BEFORE the end of the season.

New United CEO Richard Arnold is targeting Tuchel amid Chelsea's off-field crisis.

And the Red Devils genuinely believe they can tempt the Champions League winner to Old Trafford as their new permanent manager.

Chelsea are currently on the hunt for a new owner after Roman Abramovich was hit by UK government sanctions.

And until then, the European champions are operating on a day-by-day basis with almost all sources of income blocked.
