Manchester United remains undecided on whether to dismiss their current Dutch manager after this season. However, according to The Telegraph, Brentford’s manager is a leading contender for the position if he decides to pursue it.
The Danish coach has garnered respect at Old Trafford due to his six-year tenure at Brentford. It is believed that Frank maintains a strong rapport with Ineos’ co-owners and Sir Dave Brailsford, the sports director at the company.
Having guided Brentford to the Premier League three years ago, the 50-year-old manager secured an impressive ninth-place finish for the team, overcoming their modest financial resources.
Manchester United is in search of a head coach who will concentrate exclusively on managing the team and formulating strategies. Meanwhile, the incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox are set to manage other aspects, including player transfers.
Last season, Frank extended his contract with Brentford until 2027. Whether he is willing to leave for the Premier League heavyweights remains uncertain.
