Tottenham Hotspur-bound Thomas Frank has been encouraged to make a \u201cManchester United hijack\u201d his \u201cfirst order of business\u201d this summer.<\/p>\n
The Athletic\u2019s David Ornstein revealed on Thursday afternoon<\/strong> <\/a>that the Premier League giants are closing in on appointing Frank<\/strong><\/a>, who is set to replace former boss Ange Postecoglou.<\/p>\n There has been a \u2018hold up\u2019 as Spurs<\/strong> <\/a>and Brentford have discussed respected coach Justin Cochrane moving with Frank as each club were keen to secure his services.<\/p>\n However, Ornstein has confirmed that Tottenham have overcome issues with an \u2018agreement struck\u2019 for Frank and Cochrane.<\/p>\n Ornstein revealed:<\/p>\n \u2018Tottenham Hotspur are set to seal the appointment of Thomas Frank as head coach after managing to secure the highly-rated Justin Cochrane as his assistant.<\/p>\n \u2018The deal was held up by the situation of Cochrane, who Brentford wanted to keep and had admiration from elsewhere \u2014 but he decided to join Tottenham.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n READ:\u00a0Thomas Frank sack incoming as Spurs and football are stupid, mate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Spurs and Frank have a busy summer as they prepare for a season in the Champions League as they need to make some statement signings after finishing 17th in the Premier League.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n It has been suggested that they are interested in Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo and ex-Spurs midfielder Jamie O\u2019Hara has told his former club to \u201chijack Man Utd\u201d in the race to sign the forward, who scored 20 Premier League goals in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n \u201cThomas Frank\u2019s first order of business should be to hijack Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s move to Manchester Utd,\u201d O\u2019Hara told Grosvenor Sport.<\/p>\n \u201cTottenham need to do everything they can to get Mbeumo off United\u2019s hands and reunite him with Frank; he\u2019d be an unbelievable signing, he has everything Spurs need.<\/p>\n \u201cThe current squad and players aren\u2019t good enough to compete for Europe with the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n \u201cThe target for next season should be getting back into the top six and giving the fans good football to watch every week. Structured formations and organised football have been missing for the last two seasons, and that\u2019s what Spurs need if they\u2019re to challenge in the top half of the table.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE SPURS COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> O\u2019Hara has also offered his thoughts on whether Frank will be a successful appointment.<\/p>\n \u201cFrank is a proven Premier League manager; he gets the best out of players. This is his time to step up and compete at a big club,\u201d O\u2019Hara added.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s an honest manager, a good person and carries a lot of respect in the footballing industry.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s a great appointment and it shows courage from Daniel Levy. The easy option was to keep Ange in the job, and we would\u2019ve seen the same story play out as Erik ten Hag and Man Utd.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur-bound Thomas Frank has been encouraged to make a \u201cManchester United hijack\u201d his \u201cfirst order of business\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9310,748,37199,393,4884,225,98,12,1144,101,712,19189,201,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-178817","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-brentford","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-bryan-mbeumo","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-home-page","14":"tag-manchester-united","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-northern-ireland","17":"tag-premier-league","18":"tag-scotland","19":"tag-thomas-frank","20":"tag-tottenham-hotspur","21":"tag-uk","22":"tag-united-kingdom","23":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114671360945195450","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
