Odds slashed on Erik ten Hag being sacked as Man Utd boss as new favourite to replace him emerges

A new favourite has been tipped to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager.

On Sunday afternoon, United endured a difficult afternoon as goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah sealed a comfortable 3-0 win for Liverpool.

As a result, Ten Hag’s future is already being discussed despite the 24/25 Premier League season being just three games old.

United currently sit 14th in the table after back-to-back defeats, with fans starting to lose faith in Ten Hag.

According to Sky Bet, Ten Hag is among the favourites to be the next Premier League manager to lose their job.

The Dutchman is currently priced at 7/2, behind Everton boss Sean Dyche(3/1).

Meanwhile, a new favourite has emerged to take over from Ten Hag should United decide to make a change.

Betting firm Paddy Power has former Red Devils star Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who was brought in to be Ten Hag's assistant this summer, as the 11/4 favourite to be the next United manager.

The likes of Gareth Southgate(4/1), Thomas Tuchel(15/2), Kieran McKenna(10/1), Graham Potter(12/1), Roberto De Zerbi(14/1) and Mauricio Pochettino(14/1) have all been previously linked with the Old Trafford job.

Speaking after the match, former England and Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said: “I don't think anything is going to change in terms of the football [at Man Utd]. We can see after three games what Arne Slot is about. After two years of Ten Hag, we still can't see it.

“I have seen this before at Liverpool. Go back before Klopp came in when there was talk of Brendan Rodgers losing his job after one season. They weren't sure what to do, FSG [Liverpool's ownership], and they kept him and Rodgers changed his staff.”

He added: “You expect something different, but the manager is the main man. Rodgers was gone in October. Ten Hag said in his interview 'we will see where we are at the end of the season'.

“I would be surprised if he is still there at the end of the season.”

All odds were correct at the time of writing.
