Eddie Howe has emerged as the bookmakers' favourite to become Manchester United's next permanent manager following Sunday's 3–0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
The result intensified pressure on Michael Carrick, whose side have now gone eight matches without a victory in all competitions.
Howe leads Manchester United betting market
Former Newcastle United manager Howe is listed at 8/13 with Betfair, having left St James' Park in July.
Antonio Conte is priced at 9/2, while former Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann is available at 6/1 in the same market.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is listed at 11/1, with England manager Thomas Tuchel at 22/1.
Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler and former United youth coach Kieran McKenna are also among the names attracting attention.
However, inclusion in a betting market does not establish that United have approached any of these managers.
Bournemouth defeat deepens United crisis
Carrick's side were comprehensively beaten at Old Trafford, with Rayan and Marcus Tavernier scoring before half-time.
Evanilson added a third in the second half as Bournemouth secured an emphatic away victory.
United's latest defeat extended their winless run to eight matches and left them 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation places.
Carrick's future has consequently come under intense scrutiny.
Key Points
- United lost 3–0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
- Howe is Betfair's 8/13 next-manager favourite.
- Conte and Nagelsmann also feature prominently.
- Betting odds do not confirm managerial negotiations.
What's Next?
Manchester United's next step depends on the club's official decision regarding Carrick's position. Any appointment would require confirmation beyond the betting markets.
