Next Manchester United manager odds: Bookies reveal Erik ten Hag replacements after derby day drubbing
ERIK TEN HAG’S Manchester United future is again in the spotlight after a derby day to forget.
The Dutchman and his players were booed at points of Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City – a result which leaves them eighth in the Premier League.

That result follows three wins on the bounce – though all by narrow one-goal margins – against Brentford, Sheffield United and Copenhagen.
Ten Hag has had his fair share of off-field troubles to deal with too.
Bookmakers Paddy Power have reacted by making him third favoruite behind Paul Heckingbottom and Andoni Iraola to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post.
As a result, they’ve also drafted up their most likely candidates to replace him, with Zinedine Zidane the market leader at 4/1.
Zidane has been linked with the vacancy the last three times it has come up, so it remains to be seen if it’s something that could tempt him this time.

Julian Nagelsmann is next at 5/1 despite recently taking over as Germany’s national team manager.
So the third favourite, Roberto De Zerbi looks the most likely candidate of those priced up so far – and is sure to be one that United fans would want.
They’ve witnessed first hand the style of play and winning mentality he’s instilled at Brighton, with the Seagulls winning the last four meetings between the sides.
He’s being tipped for a big move when leaving the Amex and United might want to act quick before he heads elsewhere.
Graham Potter (10/1) remains out of work after his Chelsea sacking earlier this year and is just ahead of United legend Michael Carrick (12/1).
While Gareth Southgate, Julen Lopetegui and Antonio Conte are grouped together at 16/1, with former Old Trafford coach Kieran McKenna joined by Diego Simeone and Mauricio Pochettino on 20/1 after a stunning start to his managerial career at Ipswich.
