Man United manager Erik ten Hag is on the brink once again after his side's latest capitulation in Porto last night.
Erik ten Hag is rated more than 60% likely to be the next Premier League manager to leave with some bookmakers after thier midweek 3-3 draw in the Europa League.
His side threw away a 2-0 lead to trail 3-2 heading into injury time before a header from substitute Harry Maguire salvaged a point.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second match running but will be available to face Aston Villa today after his first dismissal against Spurs was overturned.
The mood at United is of stark contrast to that at Villa, who sit 5th in the Premier League (six points and eight places ahead of United) and have started with two wins in the Champions League - their first time back in Europe's elite competition since 1983.
Despite the clearly stronger form Aston Villa have shown since the start of the season, it is a surprise to see bookmakers offering odds against for a home win on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Betano are taking this generosity a step further by offering a huge 35/1 for Villa to win and deliver another blow to ten Hag's future as United manager.
If your bet on Villa wins, you will initially be paid at the normal price before getting the extra amount credited in Free Bets, taking your total returns up to the enhanced price of 35/1.
Next Man Utd Manager Odds
Erik ten Hag's assistant Ruud Van Nistelrooy is the bookmakers' favourite to replace him as Man United manager at a best price of 9/4 on bet365.
Second favourite is former England boss Gareth Southgate (3/1 with BetMGM, while Thomas Tuchel completes the top three (8/1 Unibet).
The favourite Van Nistelrooy, who scored 150 goals in over 200 appearances for the club, had a successful managerial stint at PSV Eindhoven, winning the Dutch equivalent to the FA Cup before joining ten Hag’s staff in 2024.
His closest rival Southgate, meanwhile, led England to two European Championship finals, but stepped down after their Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.
