Manchester United are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world. Some of their honours include 20 League titles, 12 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, and an impressive 21 FA Community Shields. Man Utd have also won the European Cup and UEFA Champions League three times each, and the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup once.
The role of manager at Manchester United is one of the most demanding in football. Nothing other than success in the Premier League and major European competitions is acceptable which has lead to several departures since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Ruben Amorim is no longer the manager of Manchester United, having been dismissed in January 2026 after just 14 months in charge at Old Trafford.
The 39-year-old Portuguese coach was appointed in November 2024 on a contract running until June 2027, arriving from Sporting Lisbon where he had significant domestic success, including Primeira Liga and multiple Portuguese cup triumphs. However, his time at Manchester proved turbulent and ultimately short-lived.
United’s board made the decision to part ways with Amorim following growing tensions behind the scenes, concerns over his tactics, and inconsistent results on the pitch. Amorim won just 24 of his 63 matches in all competitions, recording the worst points-per-game average of any permanent Manchester United manager in the Premier League era.
Reports suggest United’s leadership lost confidence after Amorim refused to significantly adapt his preferred 3-4-3 system and following emotionally charged discussions with senior figures Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada. His public comments about a lack of backing and his insistence that he was hired as a “manager, not a coach” further increased tensions.
Amorim’s final match was a 1-1 draw away at Leeds, leaving United sixth in the Premier League at the time of his departure. Darren Fletcher has been placed in interim charge while the club begins the search for a new permanent manager – a process that has already seen the next Manchester United manager betting market spring into life.
Manchester United’s decision to sack Ruben Amorim has sparked speculation over who will take charge next, with bookmakers quick to install a new frontrunner in the race to become the club’s next permanent manager.
According to the latest next Manchester United manager odds, Enzo Maresca has emerged as the clear favourite following his recent departure from Chelsea. Maresca’s reputation as a progressive, tactically flexible coach has appealed to United’s board as they look for a fresh direction after a turbulent period at Old Trafford.
Interim head coach Darren Fletcher is also prominent in the betting. A former Manchester United midfielder with over 200 appearances for the club, Fletcher has stepped in on a temporary basis and is viewed as a potential short-term stabilising option, though questions remain over whether he would be handed the role on a permanent basis.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner features strongly after being repeatedly linked with a move to a top Premier League club, while Gareth Southgate, Michael Carrick and Xavi Hernandez are among the other notable names in the market.
With United still firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish and only a small margin separating them from their rivals, the club’s next appointment is seen as pivotal. As a result, the next Manchester United manager betting market is expected to remain volatile in the coming days as rumours intensify and the search for Amorim’s successor gathers pace.

The current favourite to be the next Manchester United manager is Enzo Maresca, who has emerged as the market leader following his recent departure from Chelsea. Maresca’s tactical adaptability and experience in the Premier League have made him a popular choice with bookmakers and punters. While other contenders such as Darren Fletcher and Oliver Glasner remain in the mix, Maresca’s strong position in the betting reflects expectations that United will opt for a manager with a clear, long-term vision to steer the club forward.
Sir Alex Ferguson was manager of Manchester United for almost 27 years but since his departure in 2013 the club has had nine managers take charge.
