Brentford manager Thomas Frank appears uncertain about his future, hinting that he may leave the club in the near future. In a recent press conference, Frank responded to persistent rumors linking him to Manchester United, saying, “It’s impossible to say that I will stay here forever because life changes, things change.” He added that he is “very, very happy” with the Bees.
Frank’s comments come as he faces increased scrutiny, with his team’s inability to win on the road making him a target for criticism. The Bees have taken all 10 of their points so far this season at home, with a 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend exemplifying their struggles away from Griffin Park.
When asked about his potential departure, Frank emphasized the unpredictability of life, saying, “Maybe they will kick me out. I have no control over that. On the flip side, I may wake up one morning and think I need a new challenge or I move back to Denmark, because I know eventually I will move back to Denmark.” He also acknowledged that a move to a bigger club like Manchester United could be an opportunity, but stressed that it’s not a guarantee of success.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Frank’s focus remains on the upcoming match against Ipswich Town. The Bees will need to bounce back from their recent away struggles to take on the Tractor Boys, who are fighting for survival in the bottom three of the Premier League. Frank expressed his confidence in his team, saying, “If we’re talking about a bigger club, is a bigger club a bigger challenge? It’s a different challenge. But it’s irrelevant: I have a game against Ipswich in which we need to do our very best to try to win.”
Frank also provided an update on the club’s injury situation, revealing that midfielder Mathias Jensen could return for the first time since August 31. Jensen has been sidelined with a calf injury, but Frank is optimistic about his chances of playing. “Jensen will be involved in the squad so that’s very good,” he said. “He has trained all week and looks good, so we’re very happy with that. He will be involved in the squad, which is very positive.”
Overall, Frank’s comments suggest that while he is committed to his current role, he is open to new challenges in the future. The uncertainty surrounding his future may continue to hang over the team, but for now, the focus remains on securing a much-needed win against Ipswich and improving their away form.
