Julen Lopetegui, Paul Heckingbottom and Steve Cooper have all left their positions during the Premier League 2023-24 season.
And Sky Bet have priced Ten Hag, 53, at 15/8 to be next for the chop after recent league defeats to West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
Any positivity generated from their thrilling Boxing Day comeback against Aston Villa was lost when succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at the City Ground last time out.
And it took a full strength side to beat struggling League One Wigan 2-0 in the FA Cup earlier in the week, too.
The league run has left United in seventh position with 31 points - nine behind fourth-placed Arsenal and a further 14 adrift from leaders Liverpool.
Manchester United have never had fewer points, nor scored fewer goals, at this point of a Premier League season with Luton Town having netted more league goals.
They have lost nine out of their opening 20 league games for the first time since 1989-90. United only lost nine times in the league in Ten Hag's first season in charge.

The club's new club director Sir Dave Brailsford sat next to Sir Alex Ferguson for their latest loss with many thinking that Ineos will likely make a decision on the manager before the end of the season.
Roy Hodgson is also priced at 15/8.
Crystal Palace had been on a miserable run but finally managed to end an eight-game winless streak by beating Brentford at Selhurst Park before a goalless draw with Everton in the FA Cup.
The Eagles are now in 14th position, six points outside the relegation zone ahead of games against Arsenal, Sheffield United, Brighton and Chelsea.
Having been more than 33/1 just four weeks ago, Eddie Howe's price has shortened to 7/2.
Newcastle, much like Manchester United, are now out of Europe having finished bottom of their Champions League group.
They also exited the Carabao Cup to Chelsea, and are languishing in ninth in the table after a run of three successive league defeats, though will have saved face for the time being in their thumping Tyne-Wear derby win.
