Manchester United 20/1 With Bet365 To Win Next Five Premier League Matches
Manchester United’s fortunes are starting to improve under Ruben Amorim, with the Red Devils sitting seventh in the Premier League table after a recent 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
The result means they’re level on points with Spurs, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Liverpool.
Fans will be delighted to be sitting above their Merseyside rivals on goal difference, and they’ll also be hoping that their upturn in form continues after the international break.
Not least a certain supporter who has vowed not to get his hair cut until his team win five top-flight games in a row.
It’s a pledge that could lead to plenty of growth, considering the biggest winning run so far this campaign has been three matches.
Can United Cut It With Five Wins On The Spin?
Bookmakers have acknowledged that there is certainly someone who could do with United “trimming” the gap between themselves and Arsenal to put them on the “fringe” of a top-four challenge.
However, five consecutive wins seems unlikely if the odds are to be believed.
It's 20/1 with Bet365 that United will take maximum points from each clash with some challenging meetings to come.
Manchester United Next 5 Games
- Everton (Home) – November 24th
- Crystal Palace (Away) – November 30th
- West Ham (Home) – December 4th
- Wolves (Away) – December 8th
- Bournemouth (Home) – December 15th
Crucial Run Awaits Amorim’s Side
United return to Premier League action for a Monday night fixture against Everton, a game which will see David Moyes return to his former club.
Should the Red Devils be successful in that one, they’ll look to make it two on the bounce with a tricky trip to Selhurst Park, where they will likely be outsiders against Oliver Glasner's Eagles.
The fixtures then get slightly easier, with Amorim’s side hosting West Ham in a midweek clash before a trip to Molineux.
A home game against Bournemouth will complete the set.
Since losing 3-1 at Brentford on September 27, United are unbeaten in five top-flight matches.
They claimed victories over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton before being held by Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.
Bet365 price the Red Devils a 40/1 chance to win this season’s Premier League title and they are currently eight points behind Arsenal, without the distraction of European action.
Recent Revival Boosts Top-Four Hopes
You can find far shorter odds about United landing a top-four spot this term.
The bookies make them a 2/1 chance that Amorim manages to steer his team into the Champions League places.
They’re trading at 10/11 for a top-five berth, which is also likely to be enough to qualify for the top UEFA competition, with the odds on them achieving a top-six finish being even shorter.
United Seeking Top-Two Finish?
United are strong favourites to get back to winning ways after the international break when they host the Toffees.
Bet365 make them a 7/10 chance to claim three points and they’ve been in good form at Old Trafford in recent weeks.
If you think it’s going to be a really strong season for United, then you are able to get 12/1 that they land a top-two finish.
There will be confidence that they can challenge near the top of the table, especially with Liverpool’s dip in domestic form and the European involvement of the other leading sides.
