      by

      THOMAS TUCHEL is set to be named as Bayern Munich’s new boss following the reported sacking of Julian Nagelsmann. The ex-Chelsea boss will be inheriting one of Europe’s strongest squads, but he will be expected to put his own twist on things come the summer.

      Harry Kane and Mason Mount have been heavily linked with exit’s from their respective clubs
      With this in mind, SunSport have taken a look at how Tuchel may line up his Bayern Munich outfit.
      The German had particular favourites at Chelsea, with many of them now out of favour.
      Mason Mount is one such star and could consequently be signed by Tuchel for his Bayern midfield.
      With Thomas Muller now 33 years old – not that he is showing signs of slowing down – a long-term replacement in attacking midfield could be needed.

      Harry Kane is also a long-term target for Bayern, and could also be signed alongside the Englishman.
      Joao Cancelo could also be brought in on a permanent deal to complete a hat-trick of Prem signings.
      Another look at a Bayern team under Tuchel could see a huge raid on ex-club Chelsea.
      Winger Christian Pulisic has been linked heavily with an exit, and has previously played in the Bundesliga.

      Elsewhere, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to leave the club after falling out of favour.
      He has already been signed twice by Tuchel, so Bayern could make it a hat-trick.
      The pair could be brought in alongside Mount.
      An alternative look could see Mount brought in once again, with Neymar brought in on the wing with him linked with the exit door at Paris Saint-Germain.

      However, he was denied the chance to win the World Cup when Emiliano Martinez saved his shot in extra time which later saw him subjected to vile racist abuse. More

      However, both times the official at the helm of the video technology intervened to not only overturn the decisions but to award Leverkusen a penalty.
      Bayern were leading through Josh Kimmich when the first incident occurred in the 53rd-minute when Adli was clipped by Benjamin Pavard.
      Referee Tobias Stieler instantly waved away the protests and issued a caution to the 22-year-old attacker.
      Fortunately, VAR jumped in and after he had checked the pitchside monitor, Stieler overturned his original decision, wiping out the yellow and awarding a spot-kick that was dispatched by Exequiel Palacios.

      Adli shook the official’s hand – but he was raging with him again in the 70th-minute when he was booked again for simulation.
      But once again it was determined that he had in fact been fouled as the yellow was rescinded and a penalty awarded.
      It was Palacios that stepped forward for a second time to convert and seal a 2-1 win for Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen in the Bundesliga clash.
      Adli was not the only one to be relieved after VAR’s involvement – ref Stieler was too.
