Before Christmas, United was eliminated from both the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.
Additionally, the first half of the season was marked by a number of bad performances and results.
The calendar year of 2024 has been favorable for United, as the team has been gaining momentum throughout the months of January and February.
However, this remarkable run of results came to an end when they suffered a loss to Fulham at Old Trafford and then suffered a loss to Manchester City in the Manchester derby shortly after that.
The United team managed to proceed to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup with a victory over Nottingham Forest in the midst of those failures.
If they were to win that trophy, it would be a miracle if they were to preserve the season.
There is a lot of pressure on Erik ten Hag because United is currently 11 points behind Aston Villa, who are in fourth position.
There is a school of thought that suggests a change in management might take place at the conclusion of the current season.
Bookmakers have compiled a list of potential candidates to take Ten Hag’s place as manager. Based on the odds provided by Betfair, the following is a list of potential candidates for management positions to replace Ten Hag.
Those odds for Graham Potter are 7/2.
Despite the fact that Graham Potter is the favorite of the bookmakers, he is not even close to being the top choice of the supporters for a potential replacement.
Despite the fact that he performed an outstanding job at Brighton, he was not successful in his first attempt to manage a major club, which was Chelsea.
Now that he is coaching United, he will be subjected to a greatly increased level of scrutiny.
At Brighton, the 48-year-old man had the opportunity to collaborate with Dan Ashworth, who is currently in the process of being employed as United’s sporting director.
He is a young English manager who matches the profile of a youth manager.
His hiring, on the other hand, would not be well received by supporters, who would feel more comfortable with a manager with more experience.

It is 15/2 that Simone Inzaghi will win.
Simone Inzaghi is currently the manager of Inter Milan, the best team in Serie A, despite the fact that doing so does not require a significant financial investment. He is currently ranked second on the list.
Over the course of his career, Inzaghi spent the majority of his time playing with Lazio, where he also held his first managing role. Between the years 2016 to 2021, he served as the manager of the Rome club. After that, he joined Inter.
Thomas Tuchel’s odds are nine to one.
Thomas Tuchel has been known to speak highly of United whenever he has been given the opportunity to do so, and it would appear that he has shown his admiration for the club on multiple times.
It is anticipated that he will depart Bayern Munich at the conclusion of the current season, despite the fact that he won the Champions League with Chelsea, which they won by defeating Manchester City in the final in 2021.
The Bundesliga was won by Tuchel on the final day of the previous season as a result of Borussia Dortmund’s late collapse, and Bayer Leverkusen is currently in a position to win the championship this year.
However, there have been recent reservations regarding him, despite the fact that he would be a more suitable choice.
The odds for Ruben Amorim are 9/1.
Over the course of the past 18 months, Ruben Amorim has been linked to a number of English clubs, and it would appear that the Sporting Lisbon manager is in high demand after a successful term in Portugal.
In spite of the fact that he had never managed outside of Portugal before, the 39-year-old football manager led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years during his first full season in charge.
I don’t want to make any comments about these questions. With regard to the possible transfer, he revealed in November that Manchester United had not contacted him about the possibility of the transfer.
A. Zidane Zinedine A. Odds are 10/1.
Ever since Zinedine Zidane left Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, there have been rumors that he would be interested in joining United.
However, there is no evidence to suggest that he will return to management.
While the Frenchman was in charge of Los Blancos, he made history by becoming the first coach to win the Champions League three times in a row.
However, he was able to accomplish this feat with players of the highest caliber at his disposal.
While Zidane was playing for Real Madrid, some people have compared his time there to a “baby sitting job.”
It was Zinedine Zidane.
Ever since the year 2021, Zidane has been without a job. Matthias Hangst/Getty Images is the photographer that took this picture.
Those odds for Gareth Southgate are 14/1.
The bookmakers have included Gareth Southgate as another English manager on their list, and it is quite doubtful that fans will find his name appealing.
The manager of the Three Lions has been criticized for the way he has handled the national team, and his track record as a club manager does not appear to be particularly impressive. In terms of United, he is not the best suitor.
It is 14/1 that Roberto De Zerbi will win.
There have been rumors that Roberto de Zerbi is interested in joining Manchester United.
Roberto de Zerbi is also thought to be one of the leading candidates to succeed Pep Guardiola as manager of Manchester City. His daring style of play has garnered him accolades, and he has been credited with propelling Brighton to new heights since Potter’s departure.
As a result of De Zerbi’s expectation that his goalkeepers will invite press from the opposition, his team’s build-up play is consistently ranked among the best in the Premier League.
Those odds for Julen Lopetegui are 14/1.
During his time in management, Julen Lopetegui has had a number of exciting years.
His coaching stints with Real Madrid and Spain were unsuccessful, and he most recently led Wolves. His most recent gig was at Wolves.
Due to a disagreement with the board, that period came to an end in a manner that was sad, and it would be unusual to see a former Wolves manager take over United in his next post.
The odds for Xabi Alonso are 14/1.
Xabi Alonso is a modern-day legend of Liverpool, and further elaboration is not required to express this fact. Following his outstanding performance at Bayer Leverkusen, it is anticipated that he will take on the role of manager for either Bayern Munich or Liverpool.

Odds for Hansi Flick are 16/1.
After a period of two years as the manager of Bayern Munich, Hansi Flick went on to become the head coach of the German national team for an additional two years.
Despite the fact that he was the manager of Bayern Munich when they won the Champions League, his reputation has suffered as a result of his poor tenure as the manager of his country. Since he left that role, he has been without a job.
Antonio Conte’s odds are twenty to one.
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was ousted from his position at Old Trafford, Antonio Conte indicated interest in taking over as manager.
However, that ship has sailed, and his recent record leaves a lot to be desired.
Due to the fact that Conte’s negative strategies are not in line with United’s beliefs, he would not be a suitable match for the club.
Jose Mourinho’s odds are twenty to one.
Would it be possible for “The Special One” to make a second appearance at United? Even though Jose Mourinho is very well liked by the supporters, it is highly improbable that he would be rehired.
Julian Nagelsmann’s odds are twenty to one.
Given that Julian Nagelsmann is a young manager with impressive credentials, we believe that he would be a more suitable candidate than the others on our list.
It is predicted that he will return to club football after the European Championship, despite the fact that his contract will expire after the tournament.
He is in charge of Germany for the European Championship that will take place this summer.
