Erik ten Hag was given no long-term assurances surrounding his position as Man United officials held a lengthy board meeting in London on Tuesday.

However, the Dutchman expects to be in charge of the Red Devils when they return to action following the international break.

Despite that, the pressure continues to mount on ten Hag, and a familiar face at Old Trafford has been well supported in the betting.

Michael Carrick Slashed in Price

A week of market movers at the top of the next Man United manager odds has shaped around the meeting of officials. The vast majority of support has come in the form of Thomas Tuchel, who is now a +200 favorite with BetUS.

However, British-based bookie Bet365 has an interesting name in the top three, with Michael Carrick listed as short as +250.

The former England international spent 12 years at Man United between 2006 and 2018, before joining the backroom staff under Jose Mourinho following his retirement.

After Ole Gunnar Solskjaerā€™s dismissal, Carrick took charge of Unitedā€™s dramatic win over Villarreal, before guiding the Red Devils to a win and a draw in the Premier League.

Following Ralf Ragnickā€™s appointment, Carrick departed the club and would later achieve success at Middlesbrough. He guided the team to the Championship playoffs in 2022-23, before a respectable eighth-place finish followed last term.

Southgate Rules Out Return to Management

Long-time favorite for the managerial role at Man United, Gareth Southgate, has drifted in the betting.

The former England boss was as short as +200 with BetUS after leaving his Three Lions role, but he is now as big as +900 with Bet365.

Southgate broke his silence after being constantly linked with the United job on Thursday, claiming that he isnā€™t taking a new managerial role for the next 12 months.

Speaking at the European Club Association assembly, Southgate insisted, ā€˜I wonā€™t be a coach in the next year.ā€™ The former England boss also refused to rule out not returning to management at all, and indicated that he could be open to a role on the business side of soccer.
