Who are the Favourites to be Man United Manager?

Let us talk you through the main candidates to be the Manchester United come the start of 2027.

Michael Carrick – 2.50 Fav with bet365

Current manager Michael Carrick is still the favourite to remain in charge by January 1st, 2027. The bookies believe the former England midfielder still being in place is the most likely outcome at this stage. You could see this as a good bet if you think he can win a few games and the board are prepared to give him more time.

Antonio Conte – 4.00

The Italian is the second-favourite behind Carrick and could be interested after leaving Napoli at the end of last season. He has Premier League experience after stints at Chelsea and Spurs. He won the league in 2016/17 with Chelsea and showed he can still secure title success when leading Napoli to Serie A Glory in 2025/26.

Some reports in Italy have suggested he is close to agreeing a deal but he has always prefered to join clubs in the summer and have the benefit of a pre-season to prepare his squad.

Eddie Howe – 6.00

Former Bournemouth and Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe could prove another popular option for the Old Trafford hierarchy. He is out of work after leaving Newcastle in the summer but has a good Premier League record and led the Magpies to a fourth-place finish and Champions League football four seasons back.

Fabian Hurzele – 9.00

While the other options are currently out of work, one option United would need to pay to aquire is Brighton's young manager Fabian Hurzele. He has taken the Seagulls to another level after replacing Roberto De Zerbi and Brighton have started the current season in eye-catching form. Before that, he led St Pauli to the Bundesliga and still has plenty of potential. The 33-year-old is short of big club experience but will be in high demand should Brighton continue their upward curve.
