We take a look at who could replace the outgoing Portuguese boss:
We take a look at who could replace the outgoing Portuguese boss:
Enzo Maresca 5/1
The Italian guided Leicester City to the Championship title in 2023/24 & helped Chelsea to Europa Conference title before adding the Club World Cup to his C.V. in July last year.
A difference in opinion with the Chelsea hierarchy saw his tenure unceremoniously cut short & it would be no surprise to see him quickly get back on the horse if Manchester United were to come calling..

Darren Fletcher 8/1
It is expected that the former Man Utd midfielder will take interim control until a successor is appointed.
With a fixture against struggling Burnley coming up this week, an FA Cup encounter at home to Brighton followed by the Manchester Derby it’s not at all unimaginable to see him doing enough to secure the position on a permanent basis..

Oliver Glasner 1/1
The Crystal Palace boss has been very vocal on his disappointment in a lack of investment at the South London club.
The German was appointed in February 2024 after winning the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt.
He has brought success with him landing the F.A. Cup last year before downing Liverpool in the Community Shield back in August..

Gareth Southgate 7/1
After more than 100 games & 2 Euro runners-up medals, the former Three Lions boss arguably looks the most obvious candidate for the vacancy with strong ties to INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Southgate has formerly managed at club level with Middlesbrough.

Xavi Hernandez 14/1
The former top class midfielder stepped straight into management following retirement in 2019 with Qatari outfit Al-Sadd before landing the role as Barcelona head coach in 2021.
The Spaniard took his boyhood club to the La Liga title in 2022-23 before leaving the role in May 2024.

Andoni Iraola 16/1
Having arrived at Bournemouth as a relative unknown, Iraola has earned plenty of plaudits for his work on the South-coast.
However, with his contract set to expire in the Summer it might be the right time to take the leap up the ladder..

Kieran Mckenna 16/1
The former United backroom coach has made a seamless transition into management with Ipswich Town securing back-to-back promotions for the Tractor Boys from League 1 into the Premier League.
Ruben Amorim was heavily criticised for his stubbornness in not wanting to move away from his preferred formation.
That’s not something which can be said of McKenna who has proven to be adaptable & progressive..
Others to consider inc. former players Michael Carrick (12/1), Laurent Blanc (33/1), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (9/4), & Ruud Van Nistelrooy (33/1)..
