Manchester United cut to 12/1 to lose Mourinho this season

United collapse the start of something bigger?

Premier League Betting

It wasn’t a good week for Manchester United. After losing their derby encounter with Manchester City last weekend in the Premier League, Jose Mourinho shuffled his pack and suffered a Europa League loss on Thursday at Dutch side Feyenoord. So a bit of an early setback for the Mourinho reign at Old Trafford and online betting site Ladbrokes have slashed the odds of Mourinho leaving his job this season from 25/1 down 12/1.

After opening with three Premier League wins on the bounce, things have gone a bit sour over the last week. First there was the derby where Mourinho’s men were outclassed by Pep Guardiola’s Citizens and in an attempt to juggle fixtures, Mourinho made eight changes to the starting line up to face Feyenoord. They didn’t play well and suffered the loss of a late goal to send them home empty handed.

They have not found a top gear yet, with Anthony Martial not having scored this season, while big summer signing Paul Pogba has looked out of place and nowhere near the money that the club paid for him. Only Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford have produced anything of note this season for the Red Devils. With the bad week at the office, Manchester United have moved to 12/5 to miss out on a top four finish in the Premier League this season and it is 4/6 that they don’t land a major trophy. Pogba is a 33/1 price to move by the end of next summer.

A Ladbrokes spokesperson: “If United’s blip continues, their new gaffer could be the second boss sacked in a year at Old Trafford.”

“But don’t expect the Red Devils to cash in on Pogba after chasing the big-money midfielder across the globe this summer.”
