What the expert says..
Former England boss Gareth Southgate follows in the latest betting market
Gareth Southgate sits behind Van Nistelrooy as the second favourite for the United job with bookmakers having him at 7/2 to takeover at Old Trafford next.
Southgate has been without a job since stepping down as England manager in the summer and he may well want to turn his attention to club football for his next role.
England lost the Euro 2024 Final to Spain in the summer and Southgate has plenty of question marks around his managerial record but it may be an easy appointment for the new INEOS board at United.

Sporting boss Ruben Amorim also features in the latest odds list
Sporting boss Ruben Amorim has been a big name that has featured in the rumour mill to take over at United next and he sits at third favourite in the latest market.
Rumours though at the weekend suggest that Amorim is reluctant to leave Sporting mid-season so any appointment for him could mean that he comes in next summer.
39-year-old Amorim has been linked with many clubs in the past few months including United's rivals Manchester City with Sporting's Football Director moving to the Etihad next season.
The latest odds have Amorim at 5/1 to take over from Ten Hag with an implied probability of 16.7% that he takes over.
