Cristiano Ronaldo’s Dramatic Return to Manchester United PT 2

Prior to today’s big announcement, United has accumulated four points out of a possible six, having drawn at Southampton this past week after coming from behind. Clearly something has been lacking and it looked like United wouldn’t be able to maintain the solid start to the season that they first showed in their opening fixture this year.

Several bookmakers have previously floated United around a 10/1 or 12/1 price tag to win the English Premier League title - something that has eluded them since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson several years ago. 

Right now, punters will find the Red Devils available as short as a 5/1 price tag to secure the title, making them more likely than Liverpool to lift the trophy at the end of the season. The Ronaldo factor is definitely a big part of this and the odds themselves may be overhyped simply due to volume. 

There is no underestimating the impact that the 36 year old will have for United and with Paul Pogba staying on this season, Varane and Maguire marshalling the defence and new signing Jadon Sancho marauding down the right hand side - one can expect an epic partnership up front between Rashford, Cavani, Martial and Ronaldo. 

And that’s forgetting about Mason Greenwood. 

Ronaldo also gets the perfect showpiece for his potential debut this weekend, as United face off against Wolves in the late game on Sunday. United are a solid 13/15 to get the victory away at Wolves and one wonder whether he will be debuted in this contest or whether they will wait for an unveiling at Old Trafford. One can expect one of the noisiest Stretford End’s in history on that day.
