OK, out and back through Portland (PDX) looks best by LH in J, unless you have enough miles to go LH F out from FRA through SFO, or out/back from MUC through SFO. Connections from/to MAN look to work both ways.
The only downside to PDX is that it's an early flight out from FRA (09:55), meaning you'd need to overnight in FRA the night before.
Flights and timings FRA-PDX are:
7 June MAN-FRA LH4857 18:15/20:55 (C)
8 June FRA-PDX LH468 09:55/11:30 (C)
8 June PDX-YVR AC8124 15:00/16:12 (Y)
29 June YVR-PDX AC8121 08:00/09:15 (Y)
29 June PDX-FRA LH469 13:15/08:30 (C)
30 June FRA-MAN LH4852 12:00/12:40 (C)
Others may find something better, but that's not a bad start....
