The candidates for the job this summer
Laurent Blanc 7/4
A huge gamble has developed on Blanc being the next manager, with rumours that he is about to become the caretaker manager. The Frenchman has not worked since being sacked by Paris Saint-Germain but t has links with Manchester United after playing for the club for two seasons and winning the Premier League title in 2002-03. Blanc has spoken in glowing terms during the summer about Pogba, who he described as better than Patrick Vieira and also has a great relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, but so did David Moyes, and look how that worked out.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 4/1
The Norwegian is a fans' favourite at Old Trafford after scoring 91 goals in 235 games for Manchester United. Since moving into management, Solskjaer has had varying degrees of success, winning the Norwegian title twice with Molde before an ill-fated eight-month spell in charge at Cardiff, who were relegated under his tenure.
Zinedine Zidane 9/2
Few first-time managers can say they won the Champions League during their first season in charge. None can match Zidane's astonishing record of three in three years. The fact he is untried outside Real Madrid gives some reason for caution, but he is used to dealing with big players with big egos and could get the best out of his countryman Paul Pogba. Zidane is out of work, so no compensation will be needed to secure him, which could also be a consideration given the reported payoff to Mourinho.
Mauricio Pochettino 16/1
The Argentinian manager's stock is at a high after leading Tottenham to top-four finish after top-four finish on a very tight budget, but no summer signings and ongoing stadium woes creates a feeling that he may look elsewhere this summer. Pochettino has been more outspoken in the past few months about the failings of the club than at any point in his tenure and he is surely being looked at by a number of Europe's top clubs. A top coach who improves young players, he appears to have every necessary attribute to succeed at the top, but a lack of Tottenham trophies casts nagging doubts.
Antonio Conte 20/1
From one confrontational former Chelsea manager who alienated much of a once-thriving squad to... another. Conte's impact in his first season at Chelsea allied to a superb record at Juventus make him a viable contender if Ed Woodward is looking for a quick fix, but he would buck the time-honoured trend of attempting to correct the flaws of the previous appointment with the next. Conte's coaching also got the best out of Paul Pogba, who developed into one of the world's most sought-after players under the Italian at Juventus.

Leonardo Jardim 20/1
Highly thought of in world football, Jardim guided Monaco to their first Ligue 1 title in nearly two decades in 2016-17, playing an attacking style of football with a young and impressive side. His Monaco side also reached the semi-final of the Champions League. With some of Jardim's best players subsequently sold, a bad start to this season cost Jardim his job.
Eddie Howe 20/1
One of England's brightest young managers, Eddie Howe has worked wonders with Bournemouth, guiding them to the Premier and achieving mid-table safety in the last three seasons. Howe has often been talked about as future England manager and undoubtedly deserves the chance to work with better players at a bigger team. However, Manchester United may be wary of appointing a British manager after the disappointing David Moyes era at Old Trafford.
Arsene Wenger 25/1
Wenger has been waiting for the perfect job to come around since leaving Arsenal in the summer, with Bayern Munich talked about as a next destination. Surely it won't be Old Trafford? But wouldn’t it be fun!
Massimiliano Allegri 33/1
A huge success in Italy, Allegri has won Serie A with AC Milan and looks capable of presiding over a Ferguson-like spell of dominance with Juventus. Allegri was heavily linked with Chelsea before the appointment of Maurizio Sarri in the summer but a final assault on the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo in his side may have tempted to stay for one final season, but he may be looking for a new challenge in the summer.
Ryan Giggs 33/1
Missed his best chance of the job when United, understandably, chose Louis Van Gaal over him after his caretaker job following David Moyes’s exit. Giggs has followed the path of his former team-mate Mark Hughes by making his full-time managerial debut in charge of his country. As such, feels like he will have to take the long road back to Old Trafford.
Didier Deschamps 33/1
Rumoured to have fallen out with half the France squad before the World Cup, then went and won it. Also has a proven track record of getting a tune out of Paul Pogba, but will surely be minded to stay in his job until at least Euro 2020.
Diego Simeone 33/1
Arch pragmatist has had Atletico Madrid punching above their weight for several years in La Liga. Unlikely to reduce number of “Attack, attack, attack!” chants coming from the Stretford End.
Brendan Rodgers 33/1
Rodgers' career as a top-level Premier League manager looked over when he left Liverpool in 2015 but he has been sufficiently rejuvenated in Scotland, leading Celtic to two titles in impressive style. Links with Anfield may preclude him from Old Trafford, but has earned another shot at a big club in England.
