Next Manchester United Manager Odds: Glasner Drifts After Ratcliffe's Remarks
Ruben Amorim's future as Manchester United manager seems to be resolved, for the time being anyway, after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments.
United's minority owner went public with his support of Amorim by saying: "Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years."
However, football betting sites will continue to keep a close eye on forthcoming results, which could force the board into a change of manager.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner remains the favourite to take the reins at Old Trafford, but his odds have drifted in light of Ratcliffe's remarks.

Glasner Remains Favourite, But Odds Drift
Heading into the second international break of the season, Glasner was the 3/1 favourite to replace Amorim, but following Ratcliffe's comments, his odds have drifted to 10/1.
Glasner is hot property right now after guiding Crystal Palace to FA Cup glory last season - their first major trophy.
The Eagles entered October's international break sixth in the Premier League and seventh in the Conference League after winning 2-0 at Dynamo Kyiv.
The Austrian, who won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt, will be high on the list of other clubs looking to make a managerial change in the coming months.
Iraola Is Attracting Plenty Of Interest
Bournemouth will do very well to keep Andoni Iraola at the Vitality Stadium.
Iraola has worked wonders on the south coast and will return to action after the second international break fourth in the Premier League.
The Spaniard will be on the radar of many bigger club in Europe's top five leagues, and United might be too good to resist if the Old Trafford club came calling.
Iraola is 12/1 on betting apps to replace Amorim in United's dugout.
Carrick Loses Favourite Tag
Michael Carrick remains out of work following his departure from Middlesbrough at the end of last season after failing to reach the play-offs.
Carrick knows United very well after spending 12 seasons at Old Trafford, helping the club win five league titles and the Champions League in 2008.
The 44-year-old had jumped to the top of the market as 5/1 joint-favourite to return to the club should Amorim be shown the door, but those odds are now 12/1.
Nagelsmann Could Be The Man
Sooner or later, we will see Julian Nagelsmann manage in the Premier League.
A lot depends on how things pan out with the German national team, who are playing catch up in their World Cup qualifying group after suffering a shock defeat to Slovakia.
Nagelsmann would love to lead his country to next summer's World Cup, but he might be a free agent sooner than he would like.
For now, the former Bayern Munich manager is 14/1 for the United job.

When Will Southgate Return?
TalkSport reported that Ratcliffe had been in direct contact with Gareth Southgate before his recent comments about Amorim's immediate future.
Southgate has been out of management since stepping down as England manager after losing to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
The former Three Lions manager has been on a lengthy break, so could now be the time for his return?
Southgate, who managed Middlesbrough in the top flight from June 2006 to October 2009, is 16/1 on betting apps to replace Amorim.
Xavi Still Looking For New Role
Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez has been without a job since his dismissal by the Catalan giants, but could he start a new role at Old Trafford?
Xavi (16/1) was one of the greatest midfielders ever to grace the game and he won La Liga in his first full season as Barca manager in the 2022/23 season.
The World Cup winner also won the Qatar Stars League with Al Sadd in 2020/21, but otherwise he has limited experience as a manager.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers (16/1) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (18/1) are also in the mix, while current Premier League bosses Unai Emery (Aston Villa) and Eddie Howe (Newcastle) can both be backed at 20/1.
