Manchester United in talks with Thomas Frank to become next manager
The Red Devils, after winning the FA Cup with an exciting win over Premier regular winners Manchester City, have been left confused about Ten Hag’s position following a poor regular season in which they finished eighth, their lowest ever in league history.
According to The Telegraph, discussions have taken place with Thomas Frank agents as United explore potential candidates for the managerial position.
The club’s management is said to be ready to explore all options for revitalizing the team’s performance and returning to their former glory.
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS became over of Old Trafford, a number of individuals have been connected with the coveted leadership role.
Among them include prominent figures such as England’s national team manager Gareth Southgate, recently dismissed Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, and former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
Ten Hag’s time at Manchester United has been plagued with difficulties, particularly a string of injuries which impacted the team’s consistency throughout the season.
Despite this, the Dutch manager guided the Red Devils to FA Cup success, securing a place in the Europa League the following season.
However, with uncertainties surrounding Ten Hag’s future, the club’s decision-makers seem eager to explore alternative options. In Thomas Frank, they see a potential candidate who could bring fresh ideas and a new approach to the club.
United’s supporters remain divided over the prospect of a managerial change. While some advocate for continuity and stability by retaining Ten Hag, others argue that a new manager could herald a much-needed reset and rejuvenation for the team.
The decision to pursue talks with Thomas Frank underscores the club’s ambition to return to the summit of English and European football.
With his track record at Brentford, where he has overseen the team’s impressive rise in recent years, Frank represents an intriguing prospect for Manchester United.
As negotiations unfold, the club finds itself at a crucial juncture in its pursuit of success.
Whether Thomas Frank will ultimately be appointed as the next manager remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Manchester United are determined to leave no stone unturned in their quest for glory.
