The managers of Manchester United are more interested in bringing to the head of the club's bench, Thomas Frank, than the technician of the English national team, Gareth Southgate. This is the news that the English media have announced, as it seems that Erik ten Hag can leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
A few days ago, the news circulated for the first time that Gareth Southgate could be the new coach of United starting next season. However, the Englishman does not enjoy the support of all members of the club's board of directors. In fact, according to recent developments, it is Brentford coach Thomas Frank who is being considered most seriously by Manchester United to take over the bench.
Frank has been in charge of Brentford for 6 years and has impressed with his work with the "bees". Last season, the technician managed to climb the club from the Championship to the Premier League, the elite of English football. Brentford are currently in 15th place in the overall standings in the championship. The offensive style of play that Frank applies is quite attractive not only to Brentford fans, but also to many fans from rival teams in the Premier League. The only disadvantage of Thomas can be considered the fact that the coach has no experience in managing big clubs or big players.
Meanwhile, in an ideal scenario, Manchester United leaders would like to bring Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti to Old Trafford. On the board of the "Red Devils", the Italian has many fans, but he is seen as an unattainable target. Especially considering the fact that Ancelotti himself has expressed that he feels quite happy in Madrid, and does not want to leave the Bernabeu in the future.
