Rafa Benitez 3-1 to be the man to get Jose Mourinho sacked

Rafa Benitez is 3-1 with Hills to be the man to get Jose Mourinho the boot from Manchester United.

The bet would pay out if Mourinho is sacked by United during the forthcoming international break having lost or drawn to Benitez’s Newcastle side in their encounter at Old Trafford.

There’s little love lost between the pair following their days at Chelsea and Liverpool and they are 8-1 with Hills not to shake hands at the end of the game.
