Brentford manager Thomas Frank sits down for an exclusive interview with The Sports Agents, amid reports linking him the Manchester United manager's job...

Now the Premier League's second longest-serving manager, behind only Pep Guardiola, Thomas talks to Gabby & Mark about what he describes as the Bees 'secret sauce', if managing at one of the world's biggest clubs would come at a cost to his own happiness, the reaction to Thomas Tuchel getting the England job, losing Ivan Toney in the summer and if some rival coaches are 'too wedded' to one particular playing style?

Plus, Gabby & Mark reflect on a great time to be a New Zealand sports fan and cynicism surrounding how Lionel Messi has got to this summer's Club World Cup.
