The bookies rarely get it wrong, and if the tumbling odds are anything to go by, Louis van Gaal’s dismissal from Manchester United could be imminent.
Several bookmakers now have the Dutchman as the most likely manager to be given the sack next, following the home defeat at the hands of Southampton.
The defeat comes in the wake of van Gaal refusing to rule out that he would leave the club in the summer during Friday’s press conference.
“I don’t think that the press have to help me with my decisions,” he explained.
“First they have sacked me and now they are interfering in my future. I don’t think I have to answer that question.”
Van Gaal is now an ominous 2/7 to be given the boot, ahead of Aston Villa’s Remi Garde.
