Solskjaer was favourite in the Sack Race less than three weeks ago...
Manchester United’s last gasp win over Wolves has seen their odds cut again on winning the Premier League title, with rivals dropping points.
Manchester United are third-favourites to win the Premier League
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been nibbled in again from 9/1 into 8/1, despite being as long as 18/1 just weeks ago.
That means United have further solidified their place as third favourites, now only trailing market leaders Liverpool (11/10) and Man City (2/1).

Marcus Rashford’s late deflected shot seen a wave of bets come in for the Red Devils after full time, with United accruing 22% of all bets in the last 24 hours.
United’s form has seen them streak clear of former third favourites, Chelsea, who have been demoted to fifth favourites at 25/1.
Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham have continued to drift following a sticky bit of form, now pushed out to 17/1 fourth favourites behind United.
What of the outsiders?
With quite the shakeup in the Premier League table this season, the likes of Everton (50/1) and Leicester (50/1) are both priced quite conservatively.
Adding to that theme, Aston Villa started off the season around 400/1 for an unlikely return to the zenith of English football – and that’s been cut into 80/1 at the time of writing.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “It’s been a bizarre season in the Premier League, with surprise results popping up on what seems like a daily occurrence.
“Less than three weeks ago, Solskjaer was the clear 2/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager sacked.
“In an incredible turnaround – United are now third favourites and closing on rivals City at the bookies. Can they catch them and Liverpool? Almost a quarter of punters think so...”
