Manchester United Can Wrap Up The League Today

This looks to be the moment that Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have been waiting for - the penultimate fixture that clinches the English Premier League for another season. Having the league wrapped up in April is always a bonus and, following City’s disastrous result to Spurs on Sunday, United are poised to simultaneously secure the league trophy, but also to deal Aston Villa a tough blow in their quest to stay in the Premier League for another season.

The bookmakers are all tilting the odds heavily in United’s favour, punters will find them priced out at 1/5 and that’s very short - especially for those who were hoping to get some type of value on the Red Devils. 

Aston Villa themselves are listed at a lengthy 14/1 and that price is likely to move as the volume picks up a few hours before the actual fixture kicks off. The draw is priced at 5/1 and that’s a possibility, but Villa are going to have to get so much right if they plan to pull off anything like that. 

Only a win will do for United if they want to secure the title on the day in front of the home fans at Old Trafford. 

The chase is still on for United to best the greatest Premier League points hall of all time - set by Chelsea at 95. Should United win all of their last five games, they would be able to top that number. 

Punters looking for actual value will be forced to delve into the goalscorer markets or the correct scorelines. The shortest priced correct score option is a 2-0 result and it’s trading at 13/2. Manchester United to pull off a 3-0 result would reward at 7/1. 

Robin Van Persie is the shortest-priced player to score at any point during the fixture and punters will find him trading at a 4/7 listing. Wayne Rooney is the source of much speculation right now and a certain percentage of footballing observers have Rooney leaving during the off-season (most likely to PSG or Bayern Munich) and Fergie bringing in Dortmund’s Lewandowski as his replacement.
