Graham Potter is now the 2/1 favourite to be the next Manchester United boss

Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has now shortened into 2/1 to be the next Manchester United manager following reports linking him with the move last week.

Potter has been without a job since leaving Chelsea back in April and 8 months on we could see him come back into management with the big job at Old Trafford according to bookmakers.

Erik ten Hag is still in the manager's seat at the minute but it may be that the reported investment by Sir Jim Ratcliffe brings with it a new man in the hot seat.

Reports from Sky Sports News say that INEOS may want a new manager in once they start running football operations at Old Trafford and Potter is their main choice.

BetVictor's latest betting market now has Graham Potter as the outright favourite at 2/1 to takeover as Man Utd boss next ahead of former favourite Zinedine Zidane.

Next Manchester United Manager	Odds	Probability
Graham Potter	2/1	33.3%
Zinedine Zidane	4/1	20.0%
Julen Lopetegui	6/1	14.3%
Roberto De Zerbi	8/1	11.1%

What the expert says...

Will Graham Potter's terrible time at Stamford Bridge (PL 31 W12 D8 L11) hinder his chances of taking over at another of the Big Six? The bookies do not think so, having installed him as favourite for the Man Utd managers job.

Erik ten Hag is second favourite to be the next manager to be sacked

Current United boss Erik ten Hag is currently second favourite in the betting market to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has shortened into odds-on after his side were beaten by Spurs on Monday but ten Hag still sits at 4/1 in the market.

Man United got a 0-0 draw away at Liverpool in the Super Sunday game but bookmakers still say there's a 20% chance of ten Hag being the next manager to go.
