Mourinho new favourite in Premier League sack race

Jose Mourinho is the new favourite with our traders in the Premier League sack race.

The Manchester United boss suffered embarrassment on Sunday as his side were beaten 3-2 by Brighton & Hove Albion.

And that’s forced our odds-makers to slash odds to 7/2 on the Portuguese manager being the first top-flight manager to leave his post this season.

It’s now just an 8/11 shot (from 6/5 last week) that Mourinho is sacked or leaves his current job before Christmas.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “There are already so many questions surrounding Man United and Mourinho, and it looks as though the Portuguese boss will suffer from third season syndrome once again and leave his post in the coming weeks – or faced being axed.”
