Man United have an fantastic record against Newcastle and Wayne Rooney looks great value to fire them to another victory over the Magpies at Old Trafford this afternoon (3pm KO).
The visitors have never won at Old Trafford in the Premier League, losing 11 of their 17 visits.
Those are ominous stats and make Sir Alex ferguson’s side look a solid bet at 2/5 despite the fact that the visitors have lost just on of their last 15 matches in the PL.
However rather than play at those prohibitive odds, I am going to suggest a couple of wagers on Rooney in the goals scorer markets.
He is due a goal and has scored 9 goals in 12 games against the Magpies. Paddy Power go a standout 9/2 about him netting first looks a massive price as does the 8/11 with the same firm about him scoring anytime.
Both prices make plenty of appeal, and backing him in both markets to secure a profit looks the way to play.
