However, he insisted the Bees will be “ready to attack again”.On the brilliance of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo: “It’s been a big privilege to be involved in their development and partnership. Biggest credit to the two players. The way they have developed so far, why not more? No-one knows what their ceiling is. It is my job to maximum the team’s potential.”Frank also highlighted the importance of the defence and not just the attack. He said it is a “key focus area” and they noticed “the improvement” that was needed to the defence at the start of the season.On Manchester United: “They are a team that is very structured. They defend very well and they know what they want to do, offensively and defensively. Also, their form in Europe shows their potential. It’s Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they’ll put a very competitive team out there.”Frank refuted claims the Premier League has not been difficult this season and stated that it is “so competitive” and praised the division for not having a “top six”, with more teams competing for the top spots.Follow all of Friday’s Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day’s football newsListen to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra commentary of Brentford v Man Utd at 14:00 on Sunday
