On Betfair, he enters for the first time among the three favorites for the league title at the same time that he chains a great streak of results

The high level of Rashford, Casemiro or the defensive block warn Barcelona that they must face the red devils in just over a month in Europe

Manchester United have won their last four home games in the Premier League with an aggregate score of 9-0. He had not won four in a row without conceding at Old Trafford since a run of six between May and October 2017. Plus, factor in Marcus Rashford who has been involved in eight of Manchester United’s last 13 Premier League goals at home (six goals, two assists), scoring in each of his last three games at Old Trafford. Rashford had never scored in three consecutive home league appearances.

And it also works very well from behind in recent games. Manchester United have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four Premier League games, their longest run without conceding in the competition since doing so in all four games from February 28, 2021 to March 14. of 2021. According to Betfair forecasts, it is assumed that Manchester United will finish in the top four in the Premier, paying €1.67 per euro wagered on achieving it. It is the highest probability index so far this season.

There will be no investment in the short term

All this winning streak continues in a complex context such as the sale of the club. According to the journalist Fabrizio Romano, the leaders of the Red Devils do not want to invest large amounts of money while the team is in the process of being sold, which has increased the anger of the fans.. This has once again led to the discussion about the possible sale of the Old Trafford team, which was already delegated by the Glazers to the Raine Bank institution, which will be in charge of carrying out the sale process, which expected to be completed soon.

Regarding this issue, The Athletic journalist, David Ornstein, recently pointed out that in the coming weeks there could be movement on the issue of the sale of Manchester United, because if the Glazers receive an important and multimillion-dollar sum of money, the sale of the club could materialize very soon. According to Betfair forecasts, this instability does not worry the outcome in Europe either, where an exciting duel against Barcelona in the Europa League looms..

Europa League?

United winning the Europa League is paid at €9 per euro wagered, behind Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​but with an increasingly positive trend. The reality is that United’s great run in the ‘post-Cristiano’ League has been cemented against teams from the bottom of the table… but it has triggered euphoria. There are those who even dare to put the ‘red devils’ -fourths to nine points behind Arsenal- in the fight for the Premier. At the moment, the third favorite on Betfair, but with a high odds (31.0).

“We are not even halfway through the season& rdquor;

Erik ten Hag, however, ‘punctures the balloon’: “We’ve taken a big step, but don’t get too far ahead, we’re not even halfway through the season. The team’s faith doesn’t stop growing and that’s a good sign. We have to give 100% in every game”. The former Ajax coach has emerged the winner and strengthened his pulse with Cristiano Ronaldo. Even the most reluctant, in the heat of the results, have ended up agreeing with him. “Now that Cristiano Ronaldo is gone, the expectation is that Manchester United are in a better place and better as a team. It helps that no one is talking about Cristiano. They are starting to play the way Ten Hag wants them to.” says Chris Sutton, formerly of Blackburn and now a BBC commentator.
