Man United have made a huge U-Turn this season and have quickly become one of the most exciting teams in Europe to watch, in the last 2 weeks their antepost odds to win the Premier League title next season have slashed from 33/1 to just 8/1.
The Red Devils drew their first game after the resumption in a cagey affair at Mourinho’s Spurs but ever since have been absolutely electric. They’ve won their last 4 games convincingly and became the first team in Premier League history to win four 4 games in a row by a margin of three or more goals. The force of Greenwood, Rashford, Martial and Fernandes is taking the league by storm; Fernandes in his first 10 Premier League appearances has scored 7 goals and added a further 6 assists, simply outrageous.
Mason Greenwood had a substantial amount of excitement on his name prior to his initial league debut and has started United’s last 4 league games and he’s scored 4 goals in them too. The threat is throughout the whole of the frontline and today’s opponents Southampton have a similar unstoppable frontline despite it being just one man.
Danny Ings has managed to stay fit all season and has carried Southampton to safety in mid-table with his 19 league goals in 34 appearances, he’s only 4 goals away from Jamie Vardy on 23 and seems sure to prove a threat again tonight. Southampton have scored in 15 of their 17 league away games this season, the only two games they haven’t scored in have been their defeat on the first day of the season at the hands of Burnley and a 4-0 drubbing at Liverpool. Their away form is the fifth best in the league and the recent win against Man City has merely reiterated that they’re in top form.
Man United have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 9 home fixtures, but the other two games they conceded 2 in, one was the recent 5-2 win at Bournemouth and also a 2-0 home defeat to Burnley. It’s clear that United are playing out of their skin and a win would amazingly move them up to 3rd and really get a strong hold on a top 4 finish this season.
There’s some minor value in the betting markets, here’s an 8/1 chance.

Nice piece! Will certainly be interesting to see how Man U get on next season, they have seemed to go in and out of form this year….
To really challenge for the title they will need to stay consistent (See Liverpool & Man City), but that could be difficult with such a young sqaud!
