Next Man United manager odds: Red Devils could replace Ruben Amorim with another Premier League gaffer

Since replacing Erik ten Hag late last year, Amorim has given himself the unfortunate title of having the worst record of any Man United manager in Premier League history.

After losing 3-1 to Brentford at the weekend, the Red Devils now sit 14th in the table - admittedly an improvement on finishing 15th last year, but still falling far short of expectations for such a big club.

Silverware has also gone amiss, with Man United’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last season compounding their misery. They’re already out of the Carabao Cup this year too, following an early exit at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town.

Pundits have pointed towards Amorim’s refusal to deviate from his 3-4-3 formation as his undoing, while some fans have pointed fingers at players like Benjamin Sesko and Altay Bayindir for letting their manager down with recent performances.

Reports suggest that Man United executives will wait until November 1 before sacking Amorim, but already a number of suitors have presented themselves. Names like Gareth Southgate and Jose Mourinho have been thrown around, but the bookies believe Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co will try and poach a manager from a rival Premier League club.

Shane Orton, spokesperson for SportsCasting, said: “Unai Emery has emerged as the frontrunner at 4/1, with his experience and proven track record clearly appealing to those making the decisions.

“Gareth Southgate, currently a free agent after his long spell in charge of England, is also firmly in the frame. He’s been out of club management for some time, but with Ineo known to be long-time admirers, his name remains a serious consideration.

“Names like Oliver Glasner, Xavi and Andoni Iraola are also being mentioned, suggesting the club is open to a range of managerial styles.

“With Amorim’s position under increasing pressure following a heavy defeat to Brentford, focus is already shifting to who might take the reins.”
