Tuchel has been linked with a move to Manchester United since Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government.

“I think not if he gets some guidance from the Chelsea board about a deal being close,” Johnson told Bettingodds.

“However, if this situation bubbles on for twelve months, then yes. People will be looking for their own futures.
