Michael Carrick currently near the top of the betting to fill the United hot-seat.
Manchester United this morning sacked Jose Mourinho, and early reports indicate that the club will turn to a temporary manager until the end of the season, with a new person coming in after that.
Michael Carrick is currently near the top of the market at 8/1 best price to take over, with Zinedine Zidane second favourite at 5/1.
Sir Alex Ferguson is also on the list at 50/1, which would cap one of the most remarkable sporting stories ever.
Another name that is being backed is Arsene Wenger, who has accumulated the fourth most amount of bets to switch to the club that was one his deadliest rival. He’s available at 40/1 best price.
Other names near the top of the list include Antonio Conte (8/1), Nicky Butt (8/1) and Guus Hiddink (10/1).
Oddschecker spokesman George Elek: “The Old Trafford board have finally pulled the trigger and now it’s time for the club to find the replacement to galvanise the whole football club. Michael Carrick could be viewed similarly to Ryan Giggs, who came in to steady the ship in 2013 after David Moyes left. Whether he would be a long-term appointment or not is another question.
