Next Manchester United Manager Odds: Gareth Southgate now just 6/4 to take over at Old Trafford next with rumours ramping up linking him to United!

Gareth Southgate is the 6/4 favourite to become the next Manchester United manager

England manager Gareth Southgate has now moved into just 6/4 to be the next Manchester United manager with bookmakers shortening his odds to take over at Old Trafford next.

Southgate has been linked with the club with Dan Ashworth's imminent move to United as their new sporting director on the cards and a reunion between the pair could well happen.

Ashworth and Southgate worked together at the FA within the youth setup with Ashworth director of elite development between 2012 and 2018 which saw Southgate progress as U21 manager to the first team.

BetVictor's latest odds now put the pair back together at Old Trafford with the England manager given a 40% chance of taking over Manchester United next.

Erik ten Hag could well stay on beyond the summer though with his position unclear

Current Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could stay in charge of the club beyond the summer window with Sir Jim Ratcliffe expected to make big decisions this summer.

INEOS director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford is reportedly in the midst of an audit of the club's football operations following Ratfcliffe's 27.7% stake of the club being accepted.

Ten Hag will know he is under pressure with the club's form inconsistent and it's expected that a final decision hasn't been made yet with United's 4-3 win in the FA Cup over Liverpool helping his situation.
