Brentford manager Thomas Frank is among the candidates Manchester United are considering to replace Erik ten Hag, a source has told ESPN.
Ten Hag was sacked by United on Monday after a run of four wins from 13 games in all competitions this season. Frank was one of the names in the frame to replace Ten Hag in the summer before the club decided to keep faith with the Dutchman.
A source has told ESPN that Frank is again high up on United's list of targets, although he is under contract at Brentford until 2027 having joined in 201.
Agreeing to a deal that would allow the 51-year-old to leave the club is considered a major stumbling block. He has previously played down talk of leaving Gtech Community Stadium, but a source has told ESPN that United are set to enquire about his availability as they search for their next permanent manager.
