A supercomputer has predicted how Manchester United would perform next season under Thomas Tuchel.

The Bayern Munich boss is reportedly one of the leading contenders to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag has come under immense scrutiny this season following the Red Devils' mixed run of form and results.

United will not feature in next season's Champions League after it emerged that the Premier League wouldn't get a fifth spot in the European elite competition.

The Old Trafford dwellers are also in danger of missing out on European football altogether unless they register positive results in the remaining fixtures.

United's underwhelming season is understood to have left ten Hag's future hanging on a thread, with Sky Sports reporting that Tuchel is among the managers the club are eyeing should they get rid of the Dutchman.

Where Man United could finish next season under Tuchel

A simulation by SPORTbible has now projected how the Red Devils could perform under Tuchel should the German take charge next season.

According to the prediction, United fans can expect a somewhat improved campaign from their current outing.

The Manchester club are predicted to finish in the top four under the former Chelsea boss, with that enough to grant them a return to the Champions League.

However, they are likely to end the season without a trophy as they are projected to exit the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.

In terms of individual player performances, Ramsus Hojlund is billed to end the campaign as the club's top scorer with 20 goals, while Bruno Fernandes would score 16 goals and bag 14 assists.

Ten Hag speaks on Man United's summer clearout

In other news, Sports Brief reported on ten Hag clarifying reports that Manchester United intends to sell nearly all first-team players in the summer.

Recently, sensational rumours have circulated that the no-nonsense Ratcliffe was willing to part ways with United’s underperformers, which could potentially mean a mass overhaul of the first team.
