MANCHESTER UNITED have held talks with Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino over the manager’s role at Old Trafford, according to reports.
Current boss Erik ten Hag is still waiting to learn his fate despite leading the club to a second trophy in as many seasons yesterday.
Ten Hag masterminded an underdog 2-1 victory over Man City under the Wembley arch to lift the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
But the Dutchman’s future still hangs in the balance after seeing his United side finish rock bottom of their Champions League group and have their worst ever league campaign – an eighth place finish.
According to the Telegraph, minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the bigwigs at United have been preparing replacements for Ten Hag before announcing a decision on his future.
They claim that Man Utd have held discussions with Brentford boss Thomas Frank and newly unemployed manager Mauricio Pochettino.
