Rafa Benitez, Mauricio Pochettino, Max Allegri and more have been touted as potential replacements for Steve Bruce at the end of the 2019/20 campaign, but what are the bookmakers saying?
Here’s the latest manager odds put together by the football betting analysts at BonusCodeBets.co.uk – and they make for interesting reading...
1. Roberto Martinez - 28/1
Current Belgium boss and former manager of Everton and Wigan Athletic. Would prove a bit of a left-field choice, given he was in the running for the job when Steve Bruce was handed it.
2. Julian Nagelsmann - 25/1
The revolutionary young German is blazing a trail over in the Bundesliga at RB Leipzig. United are a bigger club, but the need to rebuild is so much greater with the German outfit in the Champions League.
3. Eddie Howe - 20/1
Bournemouth boss Howe has done wonders down on the south coast but his luck may well be about to run out with the Cherries in the Premier League bottom three.
4. Steven Gerrard - 18/1
Considered in the summer, Gerrard may well be looked at again with his Rangers future looking uncertain.
5. Marcelo Bielsa - 16/1
On the verge of taking Leeds United back to the Premier League at the second time of asking, could Bielsa make a switch a little further north? Would certainly ruffle some feathers in Yorkshire if he did.
