Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says he won’t write Manchester United off as the German believe the Reds possesses quality.
The Blues will host United who dismisses their manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer after their defeat to Watford.
While speaking ahead of the game at Stamford bridge Tuchel stated that he will never write off any team in the league.
The manager’s word.
“I will never write anyone off, not in this league and not in this game, because it is a big club, first of all, but it is a very experienced and individually top-level group of players.
“So this is still the case and part of the performance from us is to not let them perform, because once we let them perform you can see within seconds and within minutes in every game the full potential and the talent of these players, which is on the highest level.
Michael Carrick took charge of the United team in their 2-0 victory against Spanish side Villarreal in the Champions League.
The Reds side are set to appoint German man Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager till the end of the season.
Tuchel admitted that the game against United will be a tough one and also stated that it is the right time to face the Reds as they will be out to prove a point.
On the best moment to face United.
“You can see it either way, in the end we will not lose too many minutes thinking about this, but we will give all our energy and focus on our squad and what we want to do right.
“We only have one game with Michael Carrick in charge to focus on and to analyse. Of course we have some individual behaviour and some group behaviour that we think we can see as patterns and want to prepare our team for it.
“On the other side it is always the best moment to play against Manchester United because we are up for the big challenges and we want to be out there to play on the highest level, to prove ourselves and to prove a point. We just came from a tough match and there’s the next one, this is where we are, where we love to be, and we get challenged on the highest level again on Sunday.”
