Manchester United manager odds: Sacked gaffer Jose Mourinho in line to replace Ruben Amorim

As previously reported, a hattrick of ex-Man United bosses have been sacked by their clubs in the past week.

The first domino to fall was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who lost his job as Besiktas manager after failing to qualify for European competition this season. A similar fate then befell Jose Mourinho, who was sacked by Fenerbahce for the same reason.

Then in Germany, Erik ten Hag was sacked after just three matches at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Amorim himself has come under intense pressure, with a sub-par start to the Premier League season compounded by an early exit in the Carabao Cup to League Two side Grimsby Town.

It’s perhaps a bit unfair on the Portuguese gaffer, who seemingly has the support of most Man United fans, but the reality is that odds are being lined up for his replacements.

Andy Newton, spokesperson for SportsCasting, said: “With Solskjaer, Ten Hag and now Mourinho all out of work after being sacked elsewhere this week, Manchester United suddenly have familiar options just as pressure mounts on Amorim.

“His win rate is the worst of any Man United manager in the Premier League era, and patience is wearing thin.

“A return for Mourinho would mark a clear shift from recent appointments, but after years of failed approaches, Man United may now be ready to prioritise short-term results over long-term vision.”
