Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has become the bookmakers’ favourite to be the first Premier League boss sacked this season.
The 55-year-old has appeared in an almighty strop all pre-season; hitting out at his players, decrying a lack of transfer spending and even moaning about the quality of refereeing on the club’s tour to the US.
All that has led punters to pile money on Mourinho to be first out the door, cutting his odds of exiting Old Trafford before any other Premier League manager this season from 14/1 to 7/1.

By comparison, United’s rivals Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all 100/1 to be first to sack their manager.
“In total, 82 per cent of all bets in the last 24 hours have been placed on Mourinho leaving before any other gaffer, making Jose the clear and standout favourite to be the first on the manager merry-go-round,” says George Elek, spokesperson for odds comparison website Oddschecker.
