Next Manchester United Manager Odds: Southgate, Xavi & van Nistelrooy Head the Betting
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2012-13 season by winning his 13th Premier League title, United have gone through five permanent managers, two interim bosses and two caretaker managers..
Millions and millions of pounds have been spent on players that have just made the grade at Old Trafford. Will a new man in charge change this, or will the Red Devils continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again? Some of the
best UK online bookmakers
already have odds on who the next Manchester United manager will be.
Latest Manchester United Manager Odds - Who Will Replace Ten Hag?
Being named as Manchester United is still a huge honour for many in football, but they are nowhere near the force they once were. Will they keep the role in house or will they go all out and get a world class manager who knows how to win?
Here are a few of the main contenders to become the next Manchester United manager from the
best football betting sites.
Ruud van Nistelrroy - Evens
Betfred
Ruud van Nistelrooy is one of the bookmaker’s favourites to become the next Manchester United manager because he has the opportunity to give a proper interview after being named as interim manager following the departure of Ten Hag. Van Nistelrooy is a United legend after he scored 95 goals in 150 appearances for the club. He will go down as one of United’s best ever strikers, but can he hack it as a manager? He has had previous experience at Jong PSV and PSV Eindhoven, but this will test all his qualifications to see if he is up for the job. United might want to go for a bigger, more experienced name but for the time being, Van Nistelrooy is in the driving seat.
Xavi will go down as one of the greatest midfielders to ever play the game. He played over 500 times for Barcelona and helped them win eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues. He left Barcelona in 2015 to continue playing in Qatar with Al Saad. He went on to win silverware as a player for Al Saad before taking over as manager in 2019.He continued to win trophies as manager before returning to Barcelona as manager in 2021. He led them to La Liga glory in 2023 before being relieved of his duties in May 2024. He is currently unattached which would make the process a lot easier. Could he be the next Manchester United manager?
Gareth Southgate - 5/1
Boylesports
Gareth Southgate was constantly linked to the Manchester United job even when he was manager of England. He has since left his role with England and is without a permanent job in football. Southgate took England to two European Championship finals without winning one, but he does get the best of his players. He is also a name who could attract some good players to Old Tarfford. He might not be the favourite in the eyes of the fans, but someone steady like Southgate could be what United need at this time.
Ruben Amorim - 5/1
BetVictor
Ruben Amorim might not be well known to English football fans. He is currently the manager of Sporting Clube de Portugal and has guided the team to two Primeira Liga titles. He won his first one in 2021 and added the second one last season. If he is announced as the new manager, he could be the key to keeping hold of players like Bruno Fernandes and keeping him happy. Would you want him to be the next Manchester United manager?
Thomas Frank - 11/1
10Bet
If Manchester United were going to poach someone from the Premier League, then Thomas Frank would be the ideal candidate. Frank has been in charge at Bretford since 2018 when Dean Smith left the club and has worked wonders with the West London club. In his first season, he guided them to 11th in the Championship before getting them to the Championship play-off final which they lost 2-1 to Fulham. The following season he guided Brentford to the Premiership by winning the play-off final against Swansea City. He has since kept them up and is respected by the other Premier League managers.
Kieran McKenna - 16/1
Bet365
Kieran McKenna might seem an outside bet, but he does have some history with Manchester United. McKenna joined the Red Devils from Tottenham Hotspur to become the Under 18s manager. He helped them become Premier League Northern Division champions in 2018. He was promoted to join Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff and stayed on when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced the ‘Special One’. McKenna left United in December 2021 to take over at Ipswich Town in his first managerial role. He got them promoted from League One to the Championship in 2023, before making back-to-back promotions as he guided the Tractor Boys back to the top flight for the first time since.2002.
Zinedine Zidane - 20/1
Star Sports
Zinedine Zidane is another manager who always seems to be linked with the role at Manchester United. Zizou has not been in management since he left Real Madrid in 2021. He was one of the best footballers of his generation and he turned his hand to management easily as well. He helped Real Madrid win two league titles and three Champions Leagues. Whether he is still on United’s radar and whether they could convince return to football, only time will tell. Would Zizou be successful as the next Manchester United manager?
