Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the second favorite manager to leave his job following developments at other clubs.
Paddy Power has him at 16/5 to lose his job, behind Everton manager Marco Silva at 4/9.
Over the last three weeks, Mauricio Pochettino, Quique Sanchez Flores and Unai Emery have all left their positions.
It’s that time of year in the Premier League, and despite what he says, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under pressure. Manchester United’s struggles mean that he will be scrutinized, particularly now that the managerial merry-go-round is in full swing.

Despite that, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains focussed on the job ahead.
“No, it doesn’t make me more concerned,” the United boss said.
“I’m just focusing on my job and that’s doing as well as I can and look forward to the next game, but also look long-term, plan things with board.
“It’s that time of year. It’s never nice to see your colleagues lose their jobs – now three in a very short space of time.
“Some of them, you can talk about this VAR all day long, and I don’t know what the reasons behind the sacking at different clubs.
“But one result, for example, the Southampton v Watford one, with that handball and (if it is called) we’re talking about something completely different maybe.
“It is as football is – it’s a game of margins. Sometimes you have luck, sometimes you don’t, but it doesn’t make me any more concerned that it’s December, no.”

One man who benefitted from the first round of managerial sackings is new Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, who returns to Old Trafford on Wednesday night. Solskjaer knows that he hasn’t met the required standard since he replaced Mourinho last season.
“I can’t remember the league position we were in (when I replaced Mourinho) but I’ve had now 50 games since then and the club it isn’t where it should have been and isn’t where we want to be and we know we have to improve.
“We are working hard to do that right and when you change manager halfway through the season it isn’t where it is supposed to be.”
