Take a look at the latest odds for Cesc Fabregas to be Manchester United manager on 1st January 2027.
While the pressure on Michael Carrick sees no sign of going away as the winless run for Manchester United continues, his opposite number for the 4-1 UEFA Champions League defeat against Como has emerged as a possible contender.
The former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea midfield maestro has been a revelation during his time at Como - guiding them to 10th in their first Serie A campaign in 21 years during the 2024/25 season, before achieving a sensational fourth placed finish in Italy's top-flight last season.
Como are averaging two points a game in the league and have now won two of their first three league phase on their UEFA Champions League debut.
Cesc Fabregas Man Utd Manager Odds
Cesc Fabregas - 12/1
Odds displayed correct at time of publishing and subject to change or withdrawal at any time. Market settled on Manchester United's manager on 1st January 2027.
bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Cesc Fàbregas might have had some major battles against Manchester United on the pitch back in the day, but he's now drawing admiring glances for his work at Como and there have been links with the Old Trafford side as they continue to struggle."
Carrick was installed as the narrow favourite to retain the backing of the board by 1st January when the market was released -- with a lack of suitable alternatives working in his favour -- but Eddie Howe now leads the betting and there have been a number of fascinating candidates added to the market.
Antonio Conte is also available at a single figure price should the board decide he has the capabilities to replicate the success he enjoyed by winning the Premier League title at Chelsea back in 2016/17.
Fabian Hurzeler is another potential option as he continues to excel during his time at charge of Brighton.
The 33-year-old has assembled a hugely impressive Brighton side that sit third in the table after recording a fourth straight success with a 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace.
