Manchester United<\/a> are increasingly likely to appoint AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola for the 2026-27 campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spaniard is out of contract in the summer after doing a remarkable job at the Cherries over the past three years.<\/p>\n

At Bournemouth, the club is regularly fighting for European football, something they could still achieve this season,<\/p>\n

Now, one bookmaker has put him at 14\/1 to take over at Old Trafford in the summer, with Oddschecker confirming that these odds have been slashed.<\/p>\n

Below, Football Insider<\/strong> examines whether the Red Devils should take a risk on Iraola<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola has become one of the most promising managers in the Premier League<\/p>\n

At just 43-years-old, Iraola is no doubt one of the best upcoming managers in football.<\/p>\n

So far, he has succeeded at every club he has been at, with his work at Bournemouth being his best yet.<\/p>\n\nAndoni Iraola\u2019s stats at Bournemouth<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGames managed<\/td>\n120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWins <\/td>\n43<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDraws <\/td>\n37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLosses <\/td>\n40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWin percentage <\/td>\n35.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nHonours <\/td>\nPremier League Manager of the Month x2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Iraola has done a fantastic job at Bournemouth <\/p>\n

Currently, the Cherries are on an 11-match unbeaten run, despite losing several key players over the last 12 months, including Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n

However, many of these have been draws, with Bournemouth picking up a league-high of 15 so far this campaign, by far the most in the division.<\/p>\n

This is simply something he wouldn\u2019t be able to do at Man United, or he could risk going down the same route of Louis van Gaal.<\/p>\n

On top of this, appointing managers who have been successful at mid-table sides has rarely worked for the Premier League\u2019s \u2018big six\u2019 in recent years, with Thomas Frank being the latest failure.<\/p>\n

Therefore, opting for Iraola over the likes of Michael Carrick, who has been tremendously successful so far at Old Trafford, is perhaps at risk not worth taking.<\/p>\n

Who else is linked to the Man United job?<\/p>\n

With Football Insider<\/strong> exclusively revealing that Carrick is in a strong position to become Man United\u2019s manager<\/a> permanently, this has been reflected in the bookies.<\/p>\n

Currently, the caretaker manager is the comfortable favourite for the role at 16\/19 odds.<\/p>\n

Following this is Julian Nagelsmann at 7\/1 and Oliver Glasner at 8\/1, with the latter set to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Luis Enrique also remains in the running at 11\/1 despite reports that he may snub Man United in favour of staying at Paris Saint-Germain and renewing his contract.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate is also an outsider at 12\/1, with the former England international manager continuously linked to the role.<\/p>\n
