bet365 Football Betting Show: What next for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United?

Sam Matterface and Steve Freeth talk all things Premier League with the future of Erik ten Hag coming under the spotlight once again after Manchester United's 4-0 drubbing against Crystal Palace.

Manchester City still firm favourites in title race

Whatever Arsenal throw at Manchester City, it simply will not stick as the defending champions mustered another defiant response to a Gunners victory by defeating Wolves 5-1.

Mikel Arteta's side still sit at the top of the Premier League table but their slender advantage is expected to evaporate when Man City play their game in hand against Tottenham next week.

City remain the firm favourites to secure an unprecedented fourth consecutive crown at 4/11, with Arsenal the outsiders at 9/4.

Tottenham's woes continue

After a start to the season that promised so much, even in the absence of the talismanic Harry Kane, Tottenham's campaign has petered out and Ange Postecoglou has cut a frustrated figure in recent weeks.

Spurs were as short as 1/3 to finish in the top four after beating Nottingham Forest on April 7. A month and four successive defeats later, Postecoglou's men are 16/1 and in need of a miracle if they're to have any chance of securing Champions League football next term.

Tottenham will be looking to end the season on a positive note with matches against Burnley and Sheffield United to come, while they still have a major part to play in the title race when Manchester City visit the capital on Tuesday May 14.

It would be fair to say most Spurs supporters wouldn't be fussed if they lost that encounter...

Who will be the next Manchester United manager?

On a calamitous night for Manchester United, Crystal Palace inflicted a 4-0 thumping and completed their first league double over the Red Devils in the club's 119-year existence.

If Erik ten Hag’s future at the club remained up for debate then surely the lacklustre performance at Selhurst Park removed any lingering doubts for new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

We have a market on site on who will be the next manager of Manchester United and Thomas Tuchel currently heads the betting at 11/8, with the German set to be unattached once Bayern Munich's campaign draws to a close.

Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter, who have both featured prominently in media reports linking them to the role at Old Trafford, are second and third favourites while Kieran McKenna, who was a coach at the club for five years before earning his big managerial break with Ipswich Town in 2021, is 12/1 after leading the Tractor Boys to the Premier League.
