Man United next manager odds: Odds shorten again on Glasner - but who else is tipped?

Ruben Amorim’s spell in charge of Manchester United has been underwhelming to say the least. The 20-time champions currently sit 10th in the Premier League heading into the current international break, which is just four places higher than where they were when Erik ten Hag was sacked.

With just three wins this season in the English top flight, the worst goal difference of anyone in the top half, and having been knocked out of the EFL Cup by Grimsby Town, Amorin has done little to prove he’s the right man for the job.

Despite a victory against 10-man Chelsea and a 1-0 win at home to newly promoted Sunderland this past weekend, there remain major question marks over the long-term future of the Portuguese boss.

While Amorim has previously said, “You fear to lose your job when you have to pay the bills, and I don’t have that feeling,” all of the outside noise is currently against him. From fan feedback to pundits and former Manchester United players, the signs are pointing to the exit door.

With a 38 per cent win rate from his first 50 games in charge, speculation continues around the possibility that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be looking elsewhere sooner rather than later. So as the Premier League manager sack race heats up, we run through Manchester United’s next manager odds, should they cut ties with Amorim in the international break.

Oliver Glasner – Crystal Palace

The clear frontrunner to take the Manchester United job is Oliver Glasner, with 2/1 odds at BetVictor to be the next manager at Old Trafford. The reason is obvious, as he plays the same system as Amorim, meaning he’d be able to slot in and continue working with the current squad without making drastic tweaks. 

Crystal Palace are flying at the moment, though, having just had their 19-match unbeaten run ended against Everton. However, after winning the Community Shield and the FA Cup, he might be wondering what else can be achieved with the Eagles.

Gareth Southgate – Out of work

Another manager who is being highly tipped for the hot seat is Gareth Southgate. He hasn’t coached anyone since the end of his England career last December, and could be looking to get back into football. 

He was strongly linked to the job during Dan Ashworth’s tenure at Old Trafford, but that never came to fruition. While he’s been out of club management since leaving Middlesbrough in 2009, he has proven he can get the best out of a previously struggling group. He is at 5/1 to replace Amorim with SkyBet.

Michael Carrick – Out of work

When clubs are struggling, it is often legends whom they turn to in a bid to boost morale among the fans, by giving them a familiar face to cheer on. That is why Michael Carrick’s name has been doing the rounds lately. He knows Manchester United well from his playing days and also being the interim manager following Ralf Rangnick’s departure.

With 6/1 odds at BetVictor, this could be Carrick’s opportunity to become a permanent Premier League manager for the first time in his career.

Unai Emery – Aston Villa

Unai Emery is one of the most experienced managers in the Premier League at the moment, but after Aston Villa’s poor start to the season, his future is being questioned.

The former Arsenal boss has managed to make the Midlands giants a team capable of fighting for Europe under his tenure, which is what Manchester United are aspiring to be once again. He is at 9/1 with SkyBet to take the job if Amorim departs.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – Out of work

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked by Besiktas back in August and is looking to get back into work, which could see him return to Manchester United.

It was recently reported that the Red Devils thought about re-appointing him before hiring Amorim last year, and he’s now 14/1 with bet365 to be given a second chance by the club. Solskjaer won 56 of his 106 games in charge of the team during his previous run.
