Who could be the next Man Utd manager?
Zinedine Zidane
Former Real Madrid Galactico, Zinedine Zidane, is never too far away from the next Man United odds betting whenever the conversation arises. Recent reports have linked the Frenchman to a behind-the-scenes role in Marseille, overseeing player recruitment if a takeover gets over the line in that part of the world. Can we see him in Manchester? That’s a tough one, although you can be sure it’ll be one of the best-paid managerial hot-seats in world football if his head can be turned.
Julian Nagelsmann
The Bayern Munich job was deemed to have come a little too early in Julian Nagelsmann’s career by the hierarchy in Bavaria. Yet, sitting near the top of the next Man United manager odds list would suggest that the bookmakers believe that there are people at the club who perceive the German to be ready for the task if Erik ten Hag were to be packing his bags. However, one would believe that the small issue of recently becoming Germany manager ahead of the Euros scuppers any chance of this happening.
Kieran McKenna
If you want a left-field, plump odds selection, Kieran McKenna takes that mantle with ease. The former Red Devils coach is a hefty price in the odds for the next United manager. The current Ipswich gaffer has been pulling up trees in the Championship following an overly impressive campaign in League One. This feels too early for McKenna, but with his side on course for a Premier League return, would he wish to leave the Tractor Boys? One thing is for sure: if any club was going to interest him to the point of relocating for work, it’d be Manchester United.
Who To Keep An Eye On In The Next Man Utd Manager Betting
It’s so difficult to predict markets like this. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to the inner sanctum at Old Trafford (that would be handy). Although currently unavailable and very much in employment, perhaps The Seagulls’ head coach presents an exciting opportunity.
Roberto De Zerbi
A chaotic, end-to-end approach to life across the white line has transformed Brighton into one of the Premier League’s most dangerous sides. Roberto De Zerbi has taken the work implemented by Graham Potter, who is also in the United hot-seat running, added in his own Italian spice and seasonings, and served up what can only be described as the kind of rock and roll football that Jurgen Klopp coined when in the early stages of his Merseyside spell.
As you can expect, the work De Zerbi is doing is attracting plaudits and admirers by the week, and you’d imagine his service would be attainable at the correct price point for both Brighton and the man in question. The Brighton boss would bring a recognisable style to United and have them drilled and playing in such a way to win the majority of fans over – something rarely seen under the Glazers’ tenure at Old Trafford.
No managerial appointment is foolproof. However, in Roberto De Zerbi, you know what he’s going to bring to your club and how that’ll look on the pitch. The main question is, would the project be enough to wrestle him from Brighton’s grasp – I’m not convinced it would right now.
