Manchester United are on the lookout for a new manager after Ruben Amorim was dramatically sacked on Monday morning. Viewed in isolation, a draw at Elland Road against a rejuvenated Leeds wasn’t a terrible result, but it comes in the same week that they were held at home by Wolves, and is not an entirely surprising decision.
A statement on Man United’s official website reads, “With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.”
Next Man United manager betting odds
Ruben Amorim was under significant pressure for months, but the timing of his departure was still surprising. Amorim is already linked with another Premier League role, with the latest West Ham manager betting odds suggesting that he is among the favourites to replace Nuno Espirito Santo if he is sacked.
The last 24 hours has seen a runaway favourite; Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian was 7/1 at UK betting sites yesterday, but he is now 11/10 to take charge of the Red Devils.
Michael Carrick is also in the frame and is next in the betting after Solskjaer. For now, it looks like Carrick and Solskjaer are battling it out to take the job until the end of the season on an interim basis.
Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner and Man Utd interim manager Darren Fletcher were leading favourites in the early next Man United manager betting odds, but they have now dropped down the betting.

Betting sites now have clear favourite for next Man United manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now the leading favourite, with reports revealing that the Norwegian has been interviewed by Man United, and the club are interested in hiring him on an interim basis until the end of the season. Solskjaer has been in the Man United dugout before. He took over on an interim basis in 2018 and did so well that he was offered the job. He managed the club for two years after being given the permanent role and won 78 of his 149 matches in charge, but there were too many periods of poor form, and he was eventually sacked. His odds are 11/10 across the majority of betting sites, but they are as low as 4/6 at bet365.
Oliver Glasner has worked wonders at Selhurst Park, winning Crystal Palace their first trophy since they finished top of the second tier in 1994. Glasner has been linked with a number of high-profile roles in recent months, and it appears increasingly likely that he’ll move on to a new challenge once his contract expires in the summer.
Enzo Maresca was the early favourite at William Hill and talkSPORT BET. The Italian has only just left Stamford Bridge, and he’s been touted to head to Manchester City if Pep Guardiola leaves at the end of the season. He has now dropped down the betting and is now 28/1 to take the job after being overtaken by the likes of Glasner, Fletcher and Solskjaer.
Others involved in the betting odds to become Manchester United’s next manager include former England boss Gareth Southgate, Unai Emery to Luis Enrique.
