The market reaction in the Next Manager To Leave Post Market had a natural reaction on Monday night as Manchester United were hammered 3-0 at home by Spurs on Premier League duty. That was another hammer blow of a result for the club as it was straight on the back of a shock 3-2 away loss at Brighton the previous weekend in the top flight.
At the end of the loss against Spurs, Mourinho stood for a long time in front of the remaining United supporters just applauding. Was it a farewell moment from him?
This decline all stems back to the summer where Mourinho felt he wasn’t supported in the transfer market in bolstering his defence, his annoyance at playing in the International Champions Cup and not having his full squad ready at the start of the season because of the World Cup.
Mourinho is now down to 10/11 odds at Paddy Power this week* (betting odds taken on August 27th, 2018 at 23:54 pm).

That’s seven goals conceded in their opening three games of the season which just further emphasises Mourinho’s point about needing to sign defenders in the summer, which never happened. Mouinrho was all fired up and testy in his post-match press conference where he walked out after demanding respect from the press.
The 3-0 loss against Manchester United was Mourinho’s heaviest ever home league defeat in any competition. It is also the first time that he has lost two of his first three league games in a season as well. Interestingly though the last time that United lost two of their opening three games of a Premier League season was in 1992/93 when they won the title.
They are a distant 40/1 odds option* (betting odds taken on August 27th, 2018 at 23:54 pm) with Paddy Power to win this season’s, Premier League. Manchester United’s next top-flight game is out at Burnley and later this week they will find out their fate of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League as well.
