Former Manchester City boss backed to join Oxford United

Former Manchester City and England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is the latest big name to be linked with Oxford United.

The club’s managerial position remains vacant more than 50 days after United dismissed Pep Clotet from the role.

The 70-year-old was last in charge of Shenzen FC in China – leaving the post in June 2017, but he is now priced at just 3/1 to take the Oxford job.

Charlton boss Karl Robinson remains the favourite at 11/10, while caretaker manager Derek Fazackerley is on offer at 11/4.

Eriksson and Fazackerley previously worked together at both Man City and Leicester City.
