It has been reported that the management of Manchester United is impressed by the work that Thomas Frank has done at Brentford in preparation for their match against the London club this coming weekend. Pep Guardiola is also recognized as a huge fan of the Danish player.
In the past, Pep Guardiola has predicted that Thomas Frank will be promoted to a high-level position in the future. The Brentford manager has been connected with the possibility of succeeding Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
In the midst of the Red Devils’ worst start to a Premier League season, Frank’s Brentford team will be traveling to Old Trafford on Saturday with the intention of wreaking havoc on the Red Devils. Ten Hag is coming under growing pressure.
It has been reported that United’s senior executives are impressed by the job that Frank has done at Brentford since he took over in 2018. Frank has gained promotion and established the club in the top division, and some people have referred to this weekend’s game as a possible audition for the position of Head Coach at the Bees.
Guardiola is also a fan of Frank, and he has showered praise on the coach after his Manchester City team narrowly defeated Brentford 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium during the previous month. Guardiola stated that it was inevitable that Frank will lead a major club at some point in the future.
In his words, “It is just a question of time,” One of the things that I am excellent at is reading when the manager is good. I am good at a few things. The event is going to take place.
Additionally, he praised their offensive play against his team after they took a 1-0 lead within the opening minute of the match. He said, “Every time they have the ball, they create a chance.” I don’t recall ever seeing a team create a situation like this [when they were playing versus City]. An outstanding group of people.”
But despite the fact that he was “very happy” with the London club, Frank admitted that he was open to the possibility of leaving the club in the future when he was questioned about his future this month.
“I’ve said many times I’m very happy at Brentford,” Frank stated to reporters. In the future, who can say for sure what will take place? It’s possible that I am going to be here for a good number of years. My door is open; perhaps something will come up. But first and foremost, I am really content, and I am just putting in a lot of effort each and every day to make the club better.
Frank also hit out at speculation Ten Hag could be sacked ahead of their showdown with United, saying: “Incredible the amount of scrutiny he faces – as a head coach we acknowledge how it is to be like this – clearly he’s a good coach – when a team wins the head coach is great if a team lose then the head coach is s***.”
Since the beginning of the Premier League season, United has only won twice, and they now have eight points. Brentford, who are currently in 11th position, are two points ahead of United. This is the fourth game in a row that the Bees have scored within the opening two minutes of the game’s kickoff, and they will be looking to surprise United early on in the match.
After surviving a seven-hour meeting with United’s board members regarding his future, Ten Hag is aware that three points against Brentford are extremely important. The following two games the team will play are against West Ham and Fenerbache, both of which are managed by Jose Mourinho.
