Brentford boss Thomas Frank has emerged as a 'strong contender' for the Man United job should Sir Jim Ratcliffe sack Erik ten Hag
It is becoming obvious that Sir Jim Ratcliffe if he chooses to sack Erik ten Hag, will be looking at managers with links to INEOS to join Manchester United this summer.
The Telegraph understands the Brentford manager has become a 'strong contender' to replace Ten Hag with Sir Dave Brailsford an admirer of his work with the London club. While it has to be said the Dane has been successful with the Bees it is difficult to be inspired by the potential appointment of a manager who has yet to compete at the top of European football.
Between the beginning of February and the middle of April, Eriksen made just one substitute appearance for United in the Premier League and he has only completed 90 minutes six times in the top flight all season. With a year remaining on his contract, it seems almost certain that the former Tottenham man will be leaving Old Trafford in the summer if Ten Hag remains in charge.
Even after the midfielder chose not to extend his stay at Brentford as he pursued a move to United, Frank was still pleased for him and in February of this year offered the 32-year-old an escape route. "He will always be welcome back! Christian will always be," he told Tipsbladet."I understood well why he went to United back then, and I’ve said that publicly. I also think he’s done well. Of course, he had an injury before Christmas for a while.
