He made clear in his press conference that he wanted to return to work in England, which has been something mentioned in the press. Ornstein mentioned that he withdrew interest in the United job in the summer (though perhaps this was because he'd rather say no thanks before being rejected) but it seems pretty clear that if he was prior to him being offered the England job he would have been very interested.
If we really wanted Tuchel, I have no doubt he would be our manager.
We'll never know the real truth of who turned down whom, but it is not hard to imagine an A list manager turning United down for any number of reasons, given the current state of the club. And the England job offers a chance to make history in a way that's beyond the reach of United in the foreseeable future.
