Bet On Manchester United Replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Now

UK gambling laws don’t permit wagers on suffering but you can still bet on Manchester United playing football. After a series of embarrassing losses, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure at the tiller is ending not with a bang but a whimper. It’s got so bad Marcus Rashford kept off social media. Not a good sign. But if Ole can’t save himself from the chop just who do United turn to for fresh leadership? Well there are some fun names in the hat, but one is head & shoulders above the rest.  

After a while, it appeared Liverpool stopped trying quite so hard. Everyone wants to beat an opponent, but this was embarrassing for all concerned. Even the traveling fans stopped singing quite as much, muting their victory. No one needed to rub Old Trafford’s face in it. Everyone could see what was going on. Which is, of course, why you can now bet on Manchester United rushing to find a new manager. Something they will find far easier said than done these days. 

Naturally the club gave Ole three games to save himself, almost certainly because they know he can’t. So chances are November 6th will be Ole’s last hurrah. A derby match with Manchester City. Alas, you can probably bet on Manchester United losing that. So, even if he gets results at Spurs or against Atalanta, he’s still very probably on the way out. But who will replace him? Well, all the online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365 have their views. So let’s go see.  

Brendan Rodgers 6/1 To Take A Job He Doesn’t Want

As you scan the short list of names in the frame you’ll quickly notice some amusing absences. Wouldn’t you like to see Manchester United under Jose Mourinho? If only for the two seasons before his inevitable implosion? No? Shame. Still Mauricio Pochettino might prove as fun, right?  He cops 11/1 to get the gig. Of course, online bookies in the UK like Bet365 also give that rather lengthy price to Erik Ten Hag. Although he’s currently managing Ajax and may not wish to go.

Odds On The Next Man Utd Manager 

• Mauricio Pochettino – 11/1
• Erik Ten Hag – 11/1
• Zinedine Zidane – 9/1
• Brendan Rogers – 6/1
• Antonio Conte – 8/11

Perhaps the most interesting name on the list, for those who regularly bet on sports in the UK, is Zinedine Zidane. He gets 9/1 to stand on the touchline at Old Trafford and look like a serial killer scanning for victims. Sure, he could well motivate the team to better results. Problem is, can he really ever lecture anyone on discipline anymore? How will he solve intra-team squabbles? Head-butt people into submission? So most will bet on Manchester United getting someone different.

Brendan Rogers is different and apparently 6/1 to take a job he probably doesn’t want. He’s got a job in the Premiership already, at Leicester. Does anyone really see him tossing all that in to go to United? No of course not. You could just bet on Manchester United fans reacting rather impolitely to that turn of events, given his managerial history They may as well hire Kenny Dalglish. So just where are is this grand old legendary club going to turn in their hour of need?

Atalanta vs Man Utd Odds 

• Draw – 13/5
• Atalanta – 17/10
• Man Utd – 29/20

The answer, it would appear, according to online betting sites in the UK like Bet365, is Antonio Conte. He’s currently a free agent and is definitely of the caliber United are looking for. That’s why you’ll find him hovering at 8/11 or lower right now. So whenever Solskjaer gets the elbow, you can bet on Manchester United already having a candidate in the wings. Sure, the Norwegian could put it off for a few more games, but in the end, the writing is on the wall and it says “Go”.
