Premier League sack race 2018/19: Updated odds on the first manager to leave their job this season

The pressure has been further piled on Jose Mourinho following Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat of Manchester United.

The Red Devils have now lost two of their opening three games, making this their worst start to a season since the Premier League inaugural 1992/93 campaign.

The result leaves United already playing catch-up to their top six rivals, with Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea all six points ahead of Jose Mourinho’s side.


Furthermore, the result also leaves Mourinho fearing for his job, with many believing this is another slide towards the disaster-ridden third season the Portuguese is so famous for.

Jurgen Klopp’s position at Anfield is one of strength
