Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons following a 6-1 defeat to Tottenham.
Not only did it take place at Old Trafford, but it came against Jose Mourinho – the man he replaced at Manchester United in December 2018.
The 20-time English champions sit down in 16th-place in the standings during the international break. Only a single victory has come their way in three games, with a whopping 11 goals conceded.
United will also kick off their Champions League campaign against Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig, and Istanbul Basaksehir in that period.
Such is the significance of this period that the club board has reportedly contacted Mauricio Pochettino. Therefore, Solskjaer is the odds-on favorite as the next Premier League manager to go out of a job.
SkyBet has priced the Red Devils boss at 5/4 to be the next coach to leave his post, as per Oddschecker. Most punters also feel the same way, with 37.7% of them expecting a managerial change in Manchester.
Fulham manager Scott Parker is next in line at 9/4 and his Burnley counterpart Sean Dyche completes the top-three at 10/1.
