Ten Hag Out, Amorim In the Frame

After a disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Ham, Manchester United has parted ways with manager Erik ten Hag. The decision comes as the club languishes in 14th place in the Premier League, prompting the board to seek a fresh direction. Ruben Amorim, the 39-year-old Sporting manager, is currently the frontrunner to take over, with odds at a staggering 1/10.

Xavi Hernandez Makes a Late Push

While Amorim leads the betting, there are whispers of interest in Xavi Hernandez, the former Barcelona boss. Reports indicate that Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has held discussions with Xavi in Spain, placing him as a strong contender for the role. His odds sit at 10/1, making him a viable option for the club.

Ruud van Nistelrooy: The Interim Solution

As the search for a new manager intensifies, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy prepares for his first Premier League match against Chelsea. The ex-striker is not far behind in the betting stakes, with odds at 3/1. However, the pressure will be on him to deliver results quickly, especially against a Chelsea side that is riding high after a recent victory.

Other Contenders in the Mix

Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, is also in the conversation at 8/1, while Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann round out the list with odds of 12/1 and 16/1, respectively. However, it seems unlikely that either will be stepping into the Old Trafford role anytime soon.

Struggles on the Pitch

United’s current plight is evident as they have managed to score just eight goals in their opening nine games, making them one of the least prolific teams in the league. With the club’s history and stature, the urgency for a new manager to turn things around has never been greater.

What’s Next for United?

As the search for a new manager continues, the pressure mounts on Van Nistelrooy to secure a positive result against Chelsea. Meanwhile, fans are left wondering who will ultimately take the reins at Old Trafford and restore the club to its former glory.

Bruno Fernandes Speaks Out

In the wake of Ten Hag’s departure, Bruno Fernandes has reached out to Manchester United supporters, likely hoping to rally the team and fans alike during this turbulent time.
