Erik ten Hag after Manchester United's defeat to Bayern Munich

Erik ten Hag remains 5/4 second-favourite in sack race as Manchester United eliminated from Europe


Erik ten Hag remains the 5/4 second-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position.

There's been no movement in the market despite Manchester United finishing bottom of Champions League Group A after a 1-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich.

Bayern topped the group, with Copenhagen claiming the runners-up spot and Galatasaray dropping down to the Europa League.

Kingsley Coman scored the decisive goal in the contest at Old Trafford, with a dull United attack managing to create just 0.24 xG from their five shots.

It comes just days after they were stunned in a 3-0 hammering by Bournemouth - that inflicting their seventh defeat of the league campaign.

They were 7/4 in places to win their Champions League group when the draw was made, while they were a short 1/4 to reach the knockout stages.
