Tuchel has been heavily linked with the United job and the speculation is about to end with his latest decision.

The German tactician held talks with England over the job back in June and he has now reached an agreement.

Gareth Southgate 's exit in the summer has facilitated the transition with ease and an announcement is due soon.

The news should bring the end to the constant speculation that United could replace Erik ten Hag with Tuchel.

Ten Hag has been under immense pressure in the last few weeks and Tuchel's decision should provide some relief.

Nonetheless, his job is not entirely safe and he will need to turnaround his fortunes with United in the near future.

United are on a five-match winless streak in all competitions and the hierarchy won't entertain more setbacks.

A defeat or draw to Brentford this weekend could lead to further scrutiny over Ten Hag's managerial position.
