Louis van Gaal: Odds slashed on Manchester United sacking manager after Stoke defeat

Odds on Louis van Gaal being the next Premier League manager to be sacked have been slashed by various bookies - with one even deciding to pay out.

Manchester United suffered a terrible defeat at Stoke City and are now without a win in their last seven matches, their worst run of form since December 1989.

Van Gaal, who has been heavily criticised in recent weeks for the side's awful form and boring style of play, is the heavy favourite to be out of a job soon.

With Jose Mourinho also lurking after being sacked by Chelsea, the future is looking bleak for the Dutchman. Odds shortened on the Portuguese taking over from his former mentor, and is as short as 8/13.
