Thomas Frank Discusses Manchester United Coaching Rumors

Brentford’s head coach, Thomas Frank, recently spoke about the possibility of taking over as Manchester United’s head coach following Erik Ten Hag’s departure. Ten Hag left his position after Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, with Ruud van Nistelrooy stepping in temporarily.

Frank addressed the rumors, stating, “It’s a very delicate question. I’ve got a big responsibility to Brentford, the fans, [owner] Matthew [Denham], the leadership, the staff, and I’ve got one focus and that’s to do our best and beat Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.”

He expressed his contentment with his current role, saying, “I’ve said many, many times but I’m very happy here. It’s one of the best clubs in the world. What happens in the future, who knows? But I’m very, very happy here.”

When asked about the possibility of talking to other clubs, Frank replied, “It’s difficult for me to say – that’s a hypothetical situation. I always try to be as transparent as possible. I’ll repeat myself. I’m very happy here, and I can see myself being here for a long, long time in the future.”

Frank concluded by acknowledging the challenges of focusing amidst ongoing questions, stating, “Of course, I’ve also said that maybe if something comes up and I think, ‘That’s an opportunity I’d like to try’, okay let’s see. But for now, no, I’m very, very happy here. It’s more difficult [to focus] when you guys keep asking questions. I just want to focus on Sheffield Wednesday and focus on winning the game. But I get it’s a part of it.”
