Jose Mourinho the overwhelming favourite to be the first Premier League manager SACKED

Man United lose 3-1 against West Ham and it's looking likely that Mourinho is on borrowed time.

It goes from bad to worse for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United, as they compounded their Carabao Cup defeat to Derby by losing 3-1 against West Ham in the Premier League.

The Red Devils looked out of sorts again and it has once more increased the pressure on the United boss, who looks likely to cut short his time at Old Trafford.

Since the defeat, Mourinho’s odds have been slashed on the 55-year-old being the first Premier League manager to leave his post.

It’s now a best price of 5/4 that Mourinho gets his marching orders soon, with one bookie going as short as 11/10. That’s far clear of Neil Warnock, who is next in the betting at 8/1.

As you would expect, interest in this market has been high since the defeat, and since the final whistle was blown, a whopping 95% of total bets have gone on Mourinho.

it all paints a picture of bleakness for United, and if they are to turn around this crisis, it might well be without the three-time Champions League winner.

Oddschecker Spokesman George Elek: “Manchester United look lost at times, and it really feels that we are coming to the end of Jose Mourinho’s tenure. He is just 5/4 to be the first Premier League manager to bite the bullet, and punters are flocking to that price, as things on the field get worse.”
