Frank Lampard to be sacked if Everton lose to Manchester United?

Everton manager Frank Lampard is reportedly set to be sacked if his side are beaten by Manchester United today.

The Toffees will face the Red Devils in the early kickoff, and will be hoping to bounce back after being defeated by Burnley in midweek.

Only one point separates Everton and the relegation zone right now, with the club currently 17th in the Premier League table.

According to Football Insider, Lampard will be fired if the team are defeated by Manchester United as talks have begun behind the scenes about making the decision.

This would see the club bring in an interim boss until the end of the season in a bid to ensure that Everton are not relegated from the top flight.

The thought process is that the 30-game mark is the right time to make that decision, as this would provide a new manager enough time to potentially turn things around.

Lampard took charge of the Toffees on January 31, but they have lost seven of his nine games in control.
