Word has been spreading that Manchester United has their sights set on none other than Thomas Frank, the current manager of Brentford. It seems that Frank has made quite an impression on the club, as he has been included in their shortlist of potential candidates to replace Erik ten Hag as manager this summer. This news comes as no surprise, as Ten Hag's position is currently in jeopardy due to a lackluster season for United, with only one win in their last eight Premier League games.
Despite having a year left on his contract, Ten Hag's future with the club is uncertain, and United has been linked with other managers such as Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel, who will be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season. However, according to sources, United's higher-ups have yet to make a final decision on Ten Hag and will wait until the end of the season to conduct a review before making any changes.
One name that has caught their attention is Thomas Frank, who has an established relationship with Ineos and Sir Dave Brailsford. This could make him a strong candidate for the United's revamp, should they decide to go in a different direction. Frank, who recently signed a contract extension with Brentford until 2027, has had a successful run with the club, securing promotion to the Premier League in 2021 and finishing 13th and 9th in their following two seasons.
However, this season has been more challenging for Brentford, currently sitting at 16th in the Premier League. Despite this, Frank turned down offers to leave the club earlier this season, stating that he doubts he will find a club that does everything better than Brentford. He also mentioned his ambition, stating that it could lead him to stay at Brentford or move somewhere else in the future. For now, he is focused on improving the club and has a good daily life, which he values greatly.
As the season comes to an end, all eyes are on Brentford's final game against Newcastle United on Sunday. But it seems that Frank's future may go beyond that, with Manchester United showing interest in him. Only time will tell what will happen, but one thing is for sure - Thomas Frank has made an impression on one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. Stay tuned for more updates on Manchester United's search for a new manager.
