After Thomas Tuchel, who has been pegged as the most likely successor to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, has been named as the England national coach, with the Island's media naming a new favorite for the job should the Dutchman be sacked.

According to “Daily Mail”, quoted by Sportal.bg, it is Brentford manager Thomas Frank. Josep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Mikel Arteta also spoke favorably of the Dane's work, predicting that it was only a matter of time before he took over a top club.

The Chelsea board had meetings with Frank before appointing Enzo Maresca in the summer, and according to the “Daily Mail” he also had conversations with people from Ineos in the same period.

Interestingly, after their extremely poor start, Manchester United are currently behind Brentford in the Premier League's provisional standings. It is even more curious that this weekend the “bees” are away at "Old Trafford" in a match of the eighth round of the Premier League and if they achieve a positive result, this could already be the end of Ten Haag's career at United.
