Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has been installed by bookmakers as the favourite to fill the vacant manager's role at Fulham.

Neville started as a rank outsider for the job, with leading betting agencies SkyBet, Bet Victor and Paddy Power offering 50/1 odds for the former Red Devils right-back to take over at Craven Cottage.

However, the England assistant manager has since been backed into short-priced favouritism for the gig at odds of 4/1.

Fulham have already seen their advances for managerial candidates Steve Clarke, Nigel Pearson and Garry Rowett rebuffed and are also currently being linked with a move for Rangers boss Mark Warburton.
