Manchester United's failing head coach may soon leave the club.
After a disappointing start to the new year, Manchester United's 0-3 household loss to Cleveland on Sunday highlighted the possibility of them finding options to Erik ten Hag.
The French director oversaw United's worst-ever Premier League strategy last season, losing 14 games and transport 58 goals on the way to an eighth-placed end, helped simply by success in the FA Cup.
But, following another massive summer of investing, it appears ten Hag could once again become on borrowed time with appearances showing much sign of renaissance in the early stages of the new plan.
Manchester United eyeing Erik ten Hag alternative
William Hill have begun raising their chances for the next Manchester United manager in response to declining performances and declining results, with Gareth Southgate now the odds-on favorite.
A spokeswoman for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said:" Manchester United have made a bad start to their Premier League strategy, which was compounded by a 3-0 house defeat to Liverpool next weekend. This has increased rumors about Erik ten Hag's exit, with Gareth Southgate falling from 4/1 to 2/1 favorite to get over the Man Utd position.
" Mauricio Pochettino ( 3/1 ) is next in the betting, with Ruud van Nistelrooy 4/1 to take over from his current coaching position at the club. Following a brief spell as a coach at the club, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna is 6/1 to make a return to Manchester United.
Southgate had proven his lineage as an elite director during a mainly successful tenure as England director, guiding the Three Lions to two Western tournament finals as well as a World Cup semi-final, albeit without lifting any flatware.
The former Middlesbrough manager was also praised for his fantastic work in mending the severely fractured relationship between the squad and the media, and in turn the fans.
Further down the list, former United coach Kieran McKenna sits at 4/1, while rogue shouts for Zinedine Zidane survive, coming in at 25/1 to replace the Dutchman.
