With the improving quality of play from the mid-table sides in the English Premier League, the gulf between English sides and their European counterparts has become even more pronounced in the last two years or so. United may be able to deliver on the confidence the bookmakers are showing on them and win the tie by putting in a big performance in the first leg.

The bookmakers appear to favour a 2-0 victory for the Red Devils and they have it short-priced in the correct score market at a mere 5/1 margin. Usually you will find the shortest price at a 1-1 margin but the favouring of a 2-0 margin is a good indication that they expect United to really run away with this one. You’ll find the 1-0 draw trading at a 6/1 margin while the spread-beating 3-0 result would reward at a mere 7/1 margin right now.
Much of the controversy for United has been at the goalkeeper position over the bulk of the summer with David De Gea looking increasingly likely to be an outcast in Louis Van Gaal’s side. United’s new emerging issue looks to be the misfiring Wayne Rooney leading the line and only being able to muster up two shots so far in both games and neither of them was even on target. The bookmakers seem confident that Rooney will be able to put that behind him and find the back of the net here in this big match in Europe.
They have him priced at an 11/10 margin right now to score anytime and Manchester United to win the game. He is 3/1 to open the scoring in the match and his real trump card might just be the fact that Marouane Fellaini looks likely to start this match since he’s serving a Premier League suspension but remains eligible for the matches United play in Europe.
The big Belgian is a tempting 19/10 to score a goal here at any point in the match and the fact that we saw their last fixture won by a goal from Adnan Januzaj is a clear indication that anything can happen in these Manchester United fixtures and that goals legitimately can come from anywhere.
