Erik Ten Hag has new competition to list of potential gaffers for Manchester United

Manchester United is currently navigating a challenging start to their Premier League season, with three defeats and two wins after seven matches, placing them 14th in the league. The focus is now on finding effective strategies that could help turn the situation around.

Despite signing a one-year contract extension in the summer, Ten Hag is looking for ways to elevate the team's performance at Old Trafford. With Brentford visiting Manchester just two points ahead in 11th place, this match presents a valuable opportunity for both teams to gain momentum and improve their standings in the league.

Thomas Frank for Manchester United 

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has gained attention as a strong candidate for the Man United manager position, should the club consider making a change from Erik ten Hag. While ten Hag has navigated through the recent international break, his role at United remains uncertain after a challenging five-game winless streak.

Frank is emerging as a leading candidate to replace him now that Thomas Tuchel has opted to take charge of the English national team.

Frank’s most significant achievement as a coach is successfully leading Brentford to the Premier League and solidifying their position as a top-tier team, all while managing with limited financial resources.

This weekend, Frank will be at Old Trafford as Manchester United hosts Brentford for their first match following the international break.

Additionally, Frank is no stranger to Manchester United; he was among the coaches the club considered during the summer as they evaluated their options.
