Why Thomas Frank would be a perfect Man United manager - just don't tell anyone

This Brentford fan knows exactly why Thomas Frank would be the right man at Old Trafford. He just hopes the Man United hierarchy don't agree.

No-one at Brentford is under any doubt that Thomas Frank has the ability to manage Manchester United; but fans in west London are clinging to a hope that United's history of appointing big names - and Frank's appreciation for what he already has - will keep him out of the clutches of Old Trafford.

The affable and hugely talented Dane has been ranked amongst the favourites to replace Erik ten Hag, and although he would not be a typical appointment, there's a growing number of pundits suggesting he would be a good fit.
