Alex Ferguson’s champs don’t typically get off to a flyer, but double figures for the title favourites is a huge risk by bookies SunBET.
Granted United have some tricky away trips to Portsmouth, Liverpool and Chelsea – and will miss the slavery service of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo and a few other sicknote stars.
But only FIFTH FAVOURITES at 12/1 behind Arsenal (9/4), Chelsea (5/2), Liverpool (3/1), and even Spurs (10/1)?
And who knows at that price Sir Alex might even have a flutter!
Chelsea have a new man at the helm, Liverpool look to be firing blanks and Arsenal are already relying on teenagers to see them through.But if you really can’t stick forking out on Manchester United, then why not the improving Villa, with Martin O’Neill’s excellent summer signings, at 25/1 or Pompey to carry on from last season’s Cup success at an even bigger 50s.
I think its a huge risk for the bookies and one that hopefully wont pay off! But this is one bet I would strongly advise people to get on.
