Odds Slashed on Carrick to be Sacked First
Manchester United boss is now 10/3 from 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked, following the Red Devil’s 3-2 defeat to Brighton in the Carabao Cup.
Alvaro Arbeloa remains the 2/1 favourite to leave his post first, with Fulham picking up just one point from four Premier League matches. Meanwhile, while Frank Lampard (7/2) Rounds out the top 3 most likely managers to leave after a dismal start to the season with Coventry.
First Premier League Manager To Leave:
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Following Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton in the Carabao Cup, Michael Carrick has seen his odds cut to 10/3 from 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave.
“With just one win domestically, the ex-United midfielder looks to be coming under increasing pressure at Old Trafford and the market echoes that, with his price contracting considerably overnight.
“Sunday’s game against Fulham is a big one for the men in both dugouts, with Carrick trailing only Cottagers’ boss Alvaro Arbeloa in the betting. The Spanish manager is 2/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave this season.”
