Just over three weeks on from their <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Europa League\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/europa-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europa League<\/a> triumph, <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Ange Postecoglou\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/ange-postecoglou\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ange Postecoglou<\/a> has given way to <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Thomas Frank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/thomas-frank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Frank<\/a>, who will hope to translate his gleaming track record at <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Brentford FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/brentford-fc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brentford<\/a> into an upturn in fortunes for Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>One player who has intimate knowledge about the inner workings of a Frank squad is <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Bryan Mbeumo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/bryan-mbeumo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bryan Mbeumo<\/a>. The Cameroon international scored 20 <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Premier League\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/premier-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> goals for the Bees last season and is seemingly on his way out of the Gtech Community Stadium, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tottenham<\/a> reportedly trying to hijack <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Manchester United FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a>&#8216;s big-money move for him.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a chance Mbeumo could end up in north London to give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tottenham<\/a> players a face-to-face heads-up about exactly what it&#8217;s like to play for Frank. But just in case he opts for Old Trafford instead, Spurs stars can learn from insight that Mbeumo has already put into the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old was asked about Frank&#8217;s managerial approach in an interview with <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A1QR2gRWjWU\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Sports<\/a> late last year. Identifying the weak points in a player&#8217;s game and striving for continuous improvement are two of the strong points that stuck with him.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">&#8220;For him there is always something you can do better, in your life in general or in football,&#8221; Mbeumo said. &#8220;You always have some things that are a bit weaker that you can work on and I think Thomas found them well in me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He used to be [focused on] the mental part. I used to be very frustrated when it was not going my way &#8211; even if I had a good game but I missed a chance, I used to get my head down and lose my focus. That is something I\u2019ve tried to work on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whatever Frank did with Mbeumo worked wonders as he enjoyed by far the best individual season of his career in 2024\/25. Only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/mohamed-salah\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Alexander Isak and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/erling-haaland\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erling Haaland<\/a> managed more Premier League goals than the in-demand Brentford star.<\/p>\n<p>That scintillating output has allowed Brentford to demand a chunk of cash for his signature. United have seen a <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11095\/13378822\/bryan-mbeumo-transfer-news-man-utd-submit-opening-bid-of-55m-for-brentford-forward\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a355million<\/a> offer turned down after Mbeumo reportedly indicated that he was willing to make the move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">But Frank&#8217;s move to Spurs has thrown a spanner in the works.
