Bookmakers have suspended the betting on Michael Carrick being the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
The Manchester United boss cut a sorry figure on Sunday as he trudged round the pitch at Old Trafford following the 3-0 humbling by Bournemouth.
Although the United supporters continued to chant his name, his demeanour was one of a man who has seemingly accepted his fate and the axe is expected to fall at some point ahead of the weekend trip to Chelsea.
Even though it is no longer possible to put a wager on Carrick’s departure, bet365 have come up with another innovative market: Who will be United boss on January 1, 2027?
Carrick is still listed among the runners in the unlikely event he turns it round but his odds of 9/1 reflect the fact he is unlikely to get the opportunity.
Former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, who is out of work and available, is favourite at 4/7 ahead of Julian Nagelsmann (4/1), Antonio Conte (7/1) and Unai Emery (8/1). Emery is the only one of the leading contenders currently in a job and it is believed it would require an expensive package to prise him out of Aston Villa.
Darren Fletcher is listed if United opt to go down the temporary route once again while there are several other former United heroes, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs, in the running.
