Kieran McKenna, once Jose Mourinho’s assistant at Manchester United has become one of the most sought-after managers in England.
The 38-year-old Londoner retired from playing at 22 due to injury to pursue a managerial career having started with Northern Irish clubs before joining Tottenham.
Despite not making a senior appearance he excelled in coaching roles at Tottenham and Manchester United’s Under-18s.
After leading Ipswich Town to the top-flight in back-to-back promotions McKenna now faces his biggest managerial test - ensuring their Premier League survival or joining a larger club.
There hasn't been too much change in the odds today, but Thomas Tuchel's have shortened amid reports he is the 'frontrunner' should Erik ten Hag be sacked.
Former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Paul Lambert has suggested the culture at Old Trafford could be a factor behind Jadon Sancho not fitting in at Manchester United.
Lambert told Betway: “At Dortmund, Sancho has gone into a really good dressing room, a good culture with good guys and he gets respect.
“At Man Utd it could have been an absolute nightmare for him. He may have not liked the way it was or it might not have been what he thought it would be.
“Being back at Dortmund, with some of the players that were there when he left.
“He’s playing with one of the biggest clubs in European football without a shadow of doubt.
“Why would he want to go back to United? He could be a Champions League winner.”
Man Utd have reportedly been angered by suggestions that they have met with Erik ten Hag's replacements.

According to HITC, the club chiefs have been doing their own due diligence and background checks but such claims anger them as they have not met with anyone.

Rashford responded online: "Wishing Gareth and the boys all the best for the up and coming tournament."

Diogo Dalot statement
Diogo Dalot wants this to be the last time Manchester United enter a cup final as the underdogs.
You shouldn't be the underdog when you're at Manchester United.
We want to be the team in the future that everyone thinks is going to win automatically.
So for me it gives me energy, because I don't want to be in that position.
I've been at this club for a while now and I want to feel that feeling of dominance in every game and in every competition we play, everywhere we go.
Diogo Dalot has told Manchester United suffering supporters – we owe you the FA Cup.
I’m going to be really honest with you, after that game against [Crystal] Palace, the way the fans were supporting us, it was almost like a feeling that we didn’t deserve that.
After you concede four goals against Palace, a 4-0 defeat, they were still there, pushing us, after the awful game we had.
This is the type of thing that shows why these fans are special. Every time there is a Man Utd game, they always think something special will happen, and that’s the beautiful thing about this club.
There are always expecting something special so we’re going into the game on Saturday to try to give them a special afternoon and realise this special feeling that they always feel is going to happen.

Maguire out of FA Cup final
Manchester United ace Harry Maguire is out of the FA Cup Final with injury.
Erik ten Hag looks set to gamble with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane at centre-back against Manchester City despite their lack of game time.
Maguire has not played since April 27th when he suffered an unspecified muscle injury.
Argentine World Cup winner Martinez has started just one game since February while Varane’s last start was when he played the first half against Chelsea at the end of last month.
The injury to Maguire is not believed to be bad enough to keep him out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the up and coming Euros.
Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the strong favourite to become Manchester United's next manager after his shock departure from Chelsea.
United boss Erik ten Hag's job might not be safe even if his team beats Manchester City on Saturday in the FA Cup final.
According to The Times, Pochettino would be interested in talking to the Red Devils if Ten Hag was sacked.
Departing Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, Ipswich's Kieran McKenna and ex-Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi are also well placed for the Old Trafford hotseat.
