After the timid 1-1 draw with Fulham on MD5, the next Manchester United manager odds market has been released here here at BetVictor.
A calamitous own goal by Lisandro Martinez gave the Cottagers the lead before a deflected Matheus Cunha effort salvaged a share of the spoils in west London. The result means the Red Devils have just one league win to their name this season and the Premier League giants have already bowed out of the EFL Cup.
Owing to United’s dip in form, Michael Carrick has come under fire early on in the 2026-27 season. After a successful interim stint last year, supporters believed the former midfielder was the right man to lead the club forward but since being given the gig full-time, it hasn’t panned out too well for Carrick.
Next Manchester United Manager Odds: Eddie Howe The Favourite For Old Trafford Gig
The next Manchester United manager odds market sees Eddie Howe lead the betting. The former Newcastle and Bournemouth boss is perhaps the most obvious choice and has often been linked with some of the biggest jobs in football.
Howe left St James’ Park shortly before the 2026-27 campaign got underway after a difficult summer which saw the likes of Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes quit the North East.
During his tenure on Tyneside, Howe got the Toon Army into the Champions League on two occasions and famously won the 2024-25 EFL Cup. The 48-year-old is widely considered one of the best gaffers in Europe and can be backed at 6/4.
Thomas Tuchel In Contention To Replace Michael Carrick
Some may or may not be surprised to see Thomas Tuchel listed as the second favourite here at BetVictor. If truth be told, it would be a bold and seismic move from Manchester United to lure the former Chelsea boss to the North West.
Interestingly, Pep Guardiola is the favourite in the next England manager odds market to replace the current Three Lions gaffer after the tame 2-1 World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina saw Tuchel face huge backlash from the media owing to his defensive tactics.
Nonetheless, Tuchel’s position appears safe – for now – but football betting punters will be keeping a close eye on proceedings. Especially as United’s pulling power is second to none and they would have no problem matching Tuchel’s England salary.
Who Else Is In The Running For The Manchester United Job?
Unsurprisingly, a vast array of global names have been added to our next Manchester United manager odds market. They include the likes of former Chelsea gaffers – and Premier League winners – Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte.
Mauricio Pochettino is also a contender alongside Atletico Madrid legend Diego Simeone. Former Red devils midfielder Darren Fletcher is also worth consideration alongside Brighton’s Fabian Hurzelar who has overseen a fantastic start to 2026-27.
