Ten Hag's performance as United boss has come under scrutiny again after the team's nightmare start in the 2024-25 campaign, which has seen them drop to 12th in the Premier League. They were on a five-game winless run across all competitions until last weekend, when they came back from behind to beat Frank's Brentford 2-1.

The Dutchman's future, however, is far from secure as United were linked with a move for ex-Barcelona head coach Xavi earlier this week. Frank has also been linked with the job and the Danish coach has now hinted that he could move to Old Trafford someday.
WHAT THOMAS FRANK SAID
Speaking about his future at Gtech Community Stadium on the Sports Agents podcast, Frank said: "I am probably at one of the best clubs in the world. End of discussion. In terms of alignment, leadership, culture, everything. Why should I ever leave this place? Things can happen and you can want new inspiration, maybe you find another inspiration at your club and you stay.
"For sure, if I ever got the offer to go to a big club and I decided to go there, it would probably not make my life better. I think we all know that. Maybe it is a challenge you need to try. It is not something I am thinking about."
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
Ten Hag's side are now gearing up for a reunion with former coach Jose Mourinho as United are all set to face Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce in a Europa League clash on Thursday.
