Next Manchester United Manager Odds: Glasner Odds Cut But Is He The Right Man?
Ruben Amorim's position as Manchester United boss is again under scrutiny after his side suffered another Premier League defeat.
The Red Devils were outplayed in a 3-1 loss to Brentford, with Amorim's men looking second best throughout the match.
Defeat in west London means United have now lost three of their first six league games, not to mention a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Grimsby.
Questions about his tenure have surfaced once more following this latest loss, and it was revealed that United would have to fork out £12million in compensation if they decided to sack Amorim.
Following the defeat to the Bees, Amorim said: "When you lose you go back to the same place and fight for the one win that can help you to create the momentum.
"I am always doing my job. If I win I’m in different state of mind, but I am always confident because I know what to do."
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is the favourite on football betting sites to take the reins at Old Trafford should the board decide to wield the axe.

However, TalkSport have reported that United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been in direct contact with former England manager Gareth Southgate in recent weeks.
Will Ratcliffe and his INEOS team decide to bite the bullet and hand Amorim his cards? If so, who would replace him at Manchester United?

Glasner Price Cut Again
Glasner's reputation continues to soar after guiding Palace to FA Cup glory with a 1-0 win over Manchester City - ending the club’s 164-year wait for a major trophy.
They followed that with a Community Shield triumph against Liverpool.
Now, Glasner’s side are the Premier League’s only unbeaten team after a stunning 2-1 victory over the Reds.
The Austrian, who won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt, was 8/1 towards the end of August to get the United job, but those odds were cut in half to 4/1 and trimmed again to 3/1 in recent days.

Southgate Still Waiting For Next Role
Southgate has been out of management since stepping down as England manager after losing to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
Southgate said he wanted to take a break from managerial duties, but after 14 months out, maybe now is the time to return.
Despite their recent struggles in the league, United remain one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to manage at Old Trafford does not come along very often.
Southgate, who managed Middlesbrough in the top flight from June 2006 to October 2009, is 4/1 on betting apps to replace Amorim.
Xavi 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 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.
Would he be a good fit for troubled United? Xavi is 5/1 to become United’s next manager.
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 have since drifted to 6/1.
Emery Odds Slashed
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery was 16/1 for the United job a few weeks ago, but those odds have been shortened dramatically to 8/1.
The Spaniard secured Europa League football with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season, but the sale of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle during the summer and a lack of signings until transfer deadline day left him frustrated.
Villa have managed only one win from their opening six Premier League fixtures and were also eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Brentford, leaving Emery with little reason to be optimistic.
He may be looking with envy at the transfer business conducted over the summer by United, whose board could be casting admiring glances in his direction.
Silva Has Served His Time
Marco Silva, who had previously been linked with Tottenham and courted by Juventus and Al-Hilal, is apparently growing frustrated at Fulham amid limited investment and no contract extension.
Initially touted as a potential Erik ten Hag successor when he departed the club, Silva is known for maximising overlooked talent and tailoring tactics to opponents.
These are qualities that helped Fulham beat Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal last season.
Silva once again finds himself linked with the Old Trafford job and is 8/1 for the role.
Iraola Has Great Pedigree
Andoni Iraola (10/1) has performed miracles at Bournemouth, who currently sit sixth in the Premier League, despite losing three-quarters of their first-choice defenders during the summer and having one of the smallest budgets in the top flight.
The Cherries were unlucky not to get something against champions Liverpool on the opening day of the new campaign, but wins against Wolves, Tottenham and Brighton have left some fans dreaming of European football next season.
Iraola has one year left on his contract, but sidestepped questions about his future recently by saying he was more focused on results on what will be a “big challenge” in his third season at the Vitality Stadium.
Pochettino Ready For Premier League Return?
Do not be surprised if Mauricio Pochettino makes a return to Premier League management sometime in the future.
The former Tottenham boss guided Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019, when they were beaten by Liverpool.
Pochettino is currently in charge of the US national team, and with a home World Cup next summer, the Argentinian might not be in a rush to return to club management just yet.
The 53-year-old has previously been linked with the Old Trafford job, and is 12/1 to be United's next manager, just behind Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann at 11/1.
Elsewhere, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, Edin Terzic, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Kieran McKenna are all 12/1. Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi and Eddie Howe can both be backed at 16/1.
