Thomas Frank has emerged as a leading candidate to take over as Manchester United's manager following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman was sacked on Monday after a disappointing defeat to West Ham. Frank, the current manager of Brentford, was previously considered a potential replacement for Ten Hag during a turbulent period last season when the Dutchman faced scrutiny. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos-led football department had interviewed several candidates at that time. As the search for a new manager begins, Frank's name is once again at the forefront of discussions regarding the future of Manchester United.
