Tottenham Hotspur suffered another loss in the Premier League. This time, they lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford. This was the first time the Red Devils won against the Spurs since 2022.
In that game 4 years ago, United won 2-0 at Old Trafford, and in this game, the scoreline was the same. And it ended a 1207-day winless streak against Tottenham.
This loss will derail the momentum that Thomas Frank’s team was building after an impressive comeback draw against Manchester City. They were 2-0 down and made it 2-2.
Also, the Danish boss managed to take the Spurs into the round of 16 of the Champions League without needing to play the play-offs, which is an achievement for sure.
With this loss, Tottenham are now 14th in the Premier League. Last season, they finished 17th and sacked Ange Postecoglou even after winning the Europa League.
Therefore, the Spurs will not shy away from making tough decisions. Now, they might have to make another such decision.
Fans are not happy with Frank, and a section of the Spurs board wants him gone. So, it happens to be a question of when they will pull the plug, as they are still playing the waiting game.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Tottenham are preparing for a massive change if they sack Thomas Frank. They will not be hiring a permanent boss and will take the route of Manchester United.
So, as the interim boss, they have lined up Johnny Heitinga. But for the permanent role next summer, they are looking at a familiar name.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham want to bring back Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine will manage the USA national team in the World Cup.
He has reportedly agreed to join the Spurs after the World Cup. However, before that, Tottenham will have a tough call in their hand with the future of Thomas Frank hanging in the balance.
