Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho ODDS-ON to be sacked for the first time this season
Special One is leading the sack race as issues on and off the field continue at Old Trafford
JOSE MOURINHO is odds-on to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season.
The Manchester United boss is 8/11 in the sack race with William Hill.
The Special One guided the Red Devils to their worst start to a season in 25 years, after they lost two of their opening three games.
And after a goalless draw at home to Valencia in the Champions League, United's recent winless run has been stretched to four games.
Mourinho leads Southampton boss Mark Hughes and Cardiff's Neil Warnock who are joint second favourite in the sack race at 7/1.
spokesman Joe Crilly said: "Mourinho was hovering near the Even money mark however the draw against Valencia and the subsequent fallout has seen his odds of being the first manager to go have plummeted further."
Mourinho is now 16/1 to be sacked before the weekend, after being just 2/1 before the Valencia match.
Zinedine Zidane is the clear favourite to be the next Man Utd boss at 8/11.
The former Real Madrid boss leads Antonio Conte and Arsene Wenger in market to replace Mourinho.
