Bayern Munich chief condemns Thomas Tuchel for 'unwise statements' about their squad depth - as he insists it is isn't 'too thin' to compete after boss' pleas to strengthen in January

Bayern Munich's honorary president, Uli Hoeness, has hit back at Thomas Tuchel's public criticisms over the club's transfer business during the summer.

Tuchel arrived at Bayern less than six months ago when he replaced Julian Nagelsmann, but has already tested the patience of his new bosses, particularly during the summer transfer window.

The German giants managed to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham for £100m, but Tuchel also wanted Declan Rice before he moved to Arsenal, Manchester City's Kyle Walker, and was frustrated that the club missed out on Fulham's Joao Palhinha on deadline day.
