With confirmation of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure, odds for Michael Carrick to become the next permanent manager at Manchester Utd have been drastically cut.
Manchester United have confirmed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his role as manager at the club with Michael Carrick taking charge of the team for the forthcoming games.
Bookmakers have responded by drastically cutting odds for Carrick to become the next permanent manager. The former Manchester United midfielder is now the second favourite for the role at a best price of 10/3.
With uncertainty surrounding Manchester United's ability to get an experienced manager to put pen to paper mid-season, Carrick has emerged at a short price to manage the team for the foreseeable future.
Odds for Darren Fletcher to step into the vacant role on a permanent basis have also been cut to as short as 6/1 despite being a best price of 16/1 elsewhere.
Ralf Rangnick has also emerged as a potential short-term option should Manchester United opt to target a long-term manager at the end of the season.
The German manager is seen by many as the right solution to establish some short-term stability at the club.
