Mauricio Pochettino is now the 5/2 second-favourite to become the next permanent manager of Manchester United.
The ex-Chelsea and Spurs boss, who is currently in charge of the USA national team, saw his odds slashed from 33/1 before the weekend to 5/2 on Sunday evening.
That followed United's thrilling 4-4 draw with Aston Villa where they overturned a two-goal deficit twice to secure the point. However, it was another winless outcome for Michael Carrick who remains under significant pressure.
It's now just one victory from their last 11 outings in all competitions for United. They sit 18th in the Premier League table - the relegation zone - at the November international break, one point adrift of safety.
Next permanent Manchester United manager odds (via Sky Bet)
- Eddie Howe - 15/8
- Mauricio Pochettino - 5/2
- Julian Nagelsmann - 9/2
- Didier Deschamps - 6/1
- Antonio Conte - 7/1
- Unai Emery - 7/1
Odds correct at 10:15 GMT (09/11/26)
Eddie Howe remains the favourite in the market, although his odds have drifted to 15/8 from 8/13 in the space of 24 hours.
He's been out of work since departing Newcastle in the summer. His four-and-a-half year spell at the club delivered the Carabao Cup alongside multiple appearances in the Champions League.
For Pochettino, he nearly guided Tottenham to European glory but they were beaten in the final of the 2019 Champions League by Premier League rivals Liverpool.
He did win Ligue 1 during his time with PSG, while his period at Stamford Bridge delivered a runners-up medal in the Carabao Cup in 2024 where, like Spurs, Liverpool were victorious over his side in the final.
Former Bayern Munich and Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has seen slight movement in the market - now sitting at 9/2 from 4/1 previously - while ex-France manager Didier Deschamps is 6/1.
Another previous Chelsea and Spurs boss in Antonio Conte is now considered an unlikely appointment at 7/1, the same price as Aston Villa's Unai Emery.
