Premier League sack race: Odds slashed on Man United and Spurs managers to leave next

It has been a bad weekend for some Premier League managers, including Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Pochettino's Spurs were defeated 3-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion to end a week in which Tottenham were also thrashed 7-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

That has led to questions over Pochettino's future, amid an up-and-down start to the campaign.

But he is not the only man under pressure, with the spotlight on Solskjaer at United after a 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United this evening (Sunday).

That result has left Manchester United just two points above the relegation zone after eight games, while the Red Devils are currently 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

However, Solskjaer is the second favourite among bookmakers to leave their post, with Pochettino the third favourite.

The current favourite to be the next manager to leave his post is Everton's Marco Silva.

Everton have dropped into the relegation zone after this weekend's results, with the Toffees losing out 1-0 against Burnley yesterday (Saturday) to increase the pressure on the Portuguese manager.

Marco Silva –  Evens

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 7/2

Mauricio Pochettino – 4/1

Betfair spokesperson, Sam Rosbottom said: “Following another humiliation for Manchester United, we have once again slashed the odds for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a flood of bets on him tonight to be the next Premier League Manager to leave from 15/2 to 7/2.

“United’s start to the season has been one of the worst in recent memory and time seems to be running out for Solskjaer, in the past week we have seen a huge amount of interest in Mauricio Pochettino to be the next man in the hot seat at Old Trafford and he is just 5/2 to take over.”

Indeed, Pochettino is the current favourite to be the next Manchester United manager with Betfair, as can be seen from the latest odds below.
