New odds on next Man United manager revealed as two men go head-to-head to replace Erik ten Hag

Following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League, bookmakers have revised the odds for the next potential manager as pressure mounts on current boss Erik ten Hag. Despite having signed a new contract after winning the FA Cup, Ten Hag has come under fire due to United’s shaky start, amassing only seven points from five Premier League matches and struggling in Europe.

Midfielder Christian Eriksen’s remark that Twente “wanted it more” further exacerbated fans’ dissatisfaction. While there has been no official comment from United’s minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, speculation about Ten Hag’s future continues, prompting bookmakers to list odds on possible successors.

According to Oddschecker, former England manager Gareth Southgate and current United coach Ruud van Nistelrooy are the frontrunners at 4/1. Other prominent candidates include Thomas Tuchel at 9/1, Kieran McKenna at 12/1, and Roberto De Zerbi at 20/1. Zinedine Zidane, who has been out of management since 2021, is considered a longshot at 33/1.

Here are the updated odds for Ten Hag’s potential replacement:

– Gareth Southgate (Unemployed) – 4/1

– Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United) – 4/1

– Thomas Tuchel (Unemployed) – 9/1

– Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town) – 12/1

– Roberto De Zerbi (Marseille) – 20/1

– Graham Potter (Unemployed) – 25/1

– Thomas Frank (Brentford) – 25/1

– Mauricio Pochettino (United States) – 33/1

– Ruben Amorim (Sporting Lisbon) – 33/1

– Zinedine Zidane (Unemployed) – 33/1

These odds illustrate the intensifying speculation surrounding Manchester United’s managerial situation, with fans and pundits closely monitoring Ten Hag’s upcoming decisions.
