Jose Mourinho is the shock favorite to replace Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager.
Amorim, 40, has passed a nightmare saying since Erik ten Hag take over in November.
But after Sunday's 2-0 defeat against West Ham in Old Trafford-A record-equivalent ninth house loss of the season of Amorim, a big bomb fall.
The Portuguese boss threatened to stop if he cannot turn the horror show in United, who is 16th in the Premier League table on 39 points with two more games to go.
And when Amorim runs away, Mourinho is the top of the opportunities of the Bookmakers.
According to Betfair's chances, the Special One is a stunning 4-1 favorite to make a stunning return to Old Trafford and to take over from his countryman.
Mourinho, 62, was United Boss from May 2016 to December 2018 and won the League Cup and Europa League in 2017 before things became sour.
United did not win a trophy for six years until the 2023 League Cup under ten Hag, while the only silverware by Mourinho has since been the conference competition with Roma in 2022.
The chance that Sir Jim Ratcliffe brings in the current Fenerbahce boss, is slim, especially considering his history in the past with the club.
Secondly, on the list, Kieran McKenna from Ipswich is 7-1.
De Noord -Ier – who was a coach under Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at United – is still being kept to a large extent, even though it is unable to prevent relegation with the tractor boys.
And third with Betfair is 8-1 Gareth Southgate.
The former boss of England has been from management since he left his role in the Drie Leeuwen after the Euro 2024 final.
Thomas Frank was connected to the United-Baan when they were looking to find the successor to Ten Hag and the Sterling track he did in Brentford means that he is contrary to 9-1.
Ex-Barca boss Xavi (10-1), Marco Silva (11-1), Brendan Rodgers (12-1), Mauricio Pochettino (12-1) and Unai Emery (12-1) are all on the list.
And currently on 14-1, Carlo is Ancelotti.
The boss of Real Madrid looks destined to leave the Bernabeu this summer after the Early Champions League exit and Barcelona Laliga would win.
And if the iconic veteran does not take the Brazilian performance, he could bring some much-needed trophy-winning experience and Aura to the old Trafford-Dugout.
Spokesperson Sam Rosbottom from Betfair: “The Season of Manchester United is all based on the Europa League final of the following week, because Ruben Amorim Demies must be unthinkable, considering disastrous this season, especially since he took the lead.
“If Spurs wins, there may be some questions about his future at Old Trafford, especially after he had admitted this weekend that he can walk if things do not improve the start of next season.
“Looking at who could take over, a return for Jose Mourinho could be on the maps, with the special and experience one that led the gambling at 4-1.
“Former United First-Team coach and current Ipswich manager, Kieran McKenna is also popular in gambling and is the second favorite on 7-1.
“Although there is also interested in people like Gareth Southgate on 8-1 and Brentford boss Thomas Frank on 9/1, two managers with whom they are previously connected.”
