Brentford boss Thomas Frank says he is “flattered” by Pep Guardiola backing him for a big move. The Manchester City boss was full of praise for the Dane following City’s 2-1 over the Bees on Saturday, as Erling Haaland bagged a brace following an early header from Yoane Wissa.

Yoane Wissa is set to miss ‘a couple of months’ after picking up an ankle injury in Brentford’s defeat at Manchester City on Saturday. The forward scored the opening goal of the game for the Bees before Erling Haaland netted twice to give the Premier League champions a 2-1 win.

On Pep Guardiola's comments that it is a "question of time" before the Brentford boss manages a perceived bigger club, Frank said: "He's a very clever man. He is probably the best manager in the world now, and maybe ever. He's very good at showing his class no matter what."

Brentford boss Thomas Frank criticised a “reckless tackle” from Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic after Yoane Wissa was forced off during Saturday's Premier League clash. Forward Wissa had given the Bees a shock lead against the champions, nodding in the opener after only 22 seconds at the Etihad Stadium.

Brentford forward Yoane Wissa will be sidelined for a couple of months due to an ankle injury, coach Thomas Frank said.
