Manchester United are a top priced 1/4 to bounce back and beat Wolves at Old Trafford this afternoon (3pm KO), and I fancy Wayne Rooney to fire them to a wide margin victory.
The Red Devils have endured a horrendous week, crashing out of the Champions League and then losing Vidic for the rest of the season due a knee ligament injury.
They need to get things back on track quickly, and Mick McCarthy’s men look ideal fodder for them to do just that.
United have not lost at home to Wolves for 31 years. They have won the last five and are unbeaten in the last six on their own patch.
Wolves have also scored just one goal in those last six visits, and with Sir Alex Ferguson sure to have read the riot act to his players they looks set for a tonking.
Wayne Rooney hasn’t looked the same player since his England sending off and has now not found the back of the next in the league since September.
However you can’t keep a top class player like him down and this game gives him a golden opportunity to get on the score sheet.
He is a top priced 100/30 with bet365 to net the opener and that has to be worth a punt as I can see him causing the Wolves back-line no end of problems.
United to win 3-0 or 4-0 is my idea of the outcome, and those scorelines can be backed at 7 with Boylesports and 11/1 with bet365.
