Mourinho Still Favourite To Be Sacked First

Mourinho Still Favourite To Be Sacked First

Jose Mourinho is still favourite to be sacked first in the Premier League, even though United have lost 2 of their last 10 games.

Even though Jose Mourinho has somewhat steadied the ship at Man United with one league defeat in six, the Red Devils boss is still favourite at 5/2 to get the boot with the bookies.

Whilst a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea looks like a good result for the red side of Manchester, they will no doubt be disappointed, conceding with virtually the last kick of the game. This then sparked a touchline bust-up between Mourinho and a member of Chelsea's coaching staff.

Elsewhere, Slavisa Jokanovic has seen his odds slashed to just 11/4, having been 10/1 before a ball was kicked last weekend, following a disappointing 4-2 away defeat at Neil Warnock's Cardiff.

Mark Hughes and Rafa Benitez are next in the betting at 6/1 apiece.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Regardless of Saturday's result, our traders still clearly think Mourinho is the most likely man to win the Sack Race."
