Cambridge United vs Manchester United Betting Tips PT 2

James Wilson, who is likely to get a start in this one as Louis Van Gaal seems to be interested in blooding the youngster, is trading at a 10/3 margin and looking like a solid bet if he starts. He was able to grab a late goal last time out against QPR and he’ll be looking to build on that.

Wayne Rooney, who is now operating out of central midfield full-time, can be backed at 7/2 alongside the exciting Angel Di Maria. Much was made of Van Gaal’s mistake of deploying Di Maria as a striker last time and you really think he’s much better when playing as an out-and-out winger, switching flanks to confuse the opposition defenders on a regular basis. 

In regards to the Cambridge United strikers, you’ll find Jesse Lingard trading as their best option to open up the scoring with an 8/1 price tag being floated right now by most major bookmakers. Tom Elliot is the next best-priced selection for them and he’s priced out at a 12/1 margin. 

One of the really interesting variables in this match-up is the presence of former United player Luke Chadwick who is now plying his trade at Cambridge. You’ll find the former United up-and-comer priced at a 20/1 listing to open up the scoring against his old club - what a story that would be. 

One of the other interesting options for wagering options in this one would be the Result + Both Teams To Score wager and you’ll find it paying out a whopping 22/1 should Cambridge get the win and both teams score. Manchester United to do the exact same trades at a much lower price of 7/4. 

With Manchester United’s defence still looking relatively shaky and likely to concede at virtually any point, it might actually be a solid option for some punters who think this one might be a bit more difficult than United actually think.
