Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford compounded the misery on Nuno and Spurs.
And Daniel Levy could be forced into a quick change after appointing the former Wolves boss in the summer.
And Betfair rate Potter as the favourite to replace him.
However, there are plenty of other candidates tipped to be in the mix including Brendan Rodgers, Eddie Howe and Mauricio Pochettino.
Nuno was appointed on a two-year deal in June after a turbulent search to replace Jose Mourinho.
And things couldn’t have started better for the 47-year-old, who claimed August’s Manager of the Month.
His side were top of the division after beating Manchester City, Wolves and Watford in his opening three Premier League fixtures.
But Tottenham’s form has been patchy since.
Spurs are eighth after Saturday’s defeat and have lost three of their last five games..

Supporters are largely frustrated with Nuno’s playing style and they failed to get a shot on target against United with Harry Kane once again off colour.
If chairman Daniel Levy does pull the trigger – Brighton’s Potter is the standout favourite.
Potter has enjoyed a tremendous start to the campaign with the Seagulls in seventh place.
The 46-year-old was on Spurs’ four-man shortlist over the summer before Nuno was appointed.
Elsewhere Brendan Rodgers is available at 9/2 with former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe a 5/1 shot.
A sensational return for Mauricio Pochettino is offered at 9/1 with Roberto Martinez also at 9s.
Erik ten Hag and Scott Parker are available 10/1.
