Erik Ten Hag was fired after the loss to West Ham during the weekend. Manchester United was already struggling this season, being 14th in the Premier League as well as having failed to win any of their opening games in the Europa League.
The main question now is who will get the big job and replace him at the helm of the Red Devils. The early prices have already been released, with online bookmakers having one name as a frontrunner.
What Are the Current Next Manchester United Odds
⏩ Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim is by far the closest to replacing Ten Hag as Man United's manager. Sporting had an excellent season last year, which directed a lot of big clubs' attention to Amorim. The current odds are 1.25 on most online betting sites. However, the fees that ManU needs to pay Sporting are substantial, not to mention the uncertainty of him wanting to leave the club mid-season.
⏩ Next in line is club legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who has been working at Manchester United as an assistant coach since this summer. He is currently the interim manager and pays at 11.00.
⏩ The third most likely manager in terms of odds is Xavi. Again, though, the Barcelona legend does not seem too eager to start a job in the middle of the season, which justifies the 15.00 odds.
Among the rest of the contenders, you can find the following names:
✔️ Gareth Southgate @11.00
✔️ Thomas Frank @21.00
✔️ Graham Potter @23.00
