United, who return to the competition having most recently suffered a devastating 3-0 loss to serial winners, Sevilla away from home two seasons ago, look to finally add European silverware to a trophy cabinet which has been empty of such since 2017. 

Man United sizeable betting favorites to beat FC Twente tonight

And ahead of tonight’s Old Trafford opener against the Dutch side, United are closing as impressive -800 betting favorites to beat FC Twente – to kick off their UEFA Europa League campaign, with all your information for soccer odds for future games available at the link provided. 

Held to a nil-all draw at Selhurst Park on Sunday evening, Man United failed to convert some key chances from Matthijs de Ligt, as well as Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes seeing guilt edge chances hit the bar. 

However, looking to kick on and spur home a positive result tonight against FC Twente, United welcomed back Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund into the fold in their most recent Premier League outing, with Uruguayan midfielder, Manuel Ugarte also expected to feature tonight.

Set to rekindle his love affair with former Eredivisie champions, FC Twente tonight, finished his playing career with the side back in 2002, contributing an impressive 162 appearances for the side.

And clearly holding the Dutch side in his heart, former captain, ten Hag claimed he will be difficult to “hurt” his former side as he guides Man United into UEFA Europa League action tonight. 

“FC Twente has brought me a lot,” Erik ten Hag told assembled media during his availability on Tuesday. “I was put through their academy. I was part of the generation of the first youth team when the youth competition was started up again after many years, so for me there is a great deal of history there.”

“I would have preferred to play against someone else,” ten Hag explained. “It is not nice to have to hurt something you love.”

And set to debut in their new league format for the UEFA Europa League this season, following tonight’s pairing with FC Twente, United hit the road and fly to Portugal to take on FC Porto – a familiar foe from UEFA Champions League competition over the years to boot. 

After that outing, Man United head to Turkey to take on Fenerbache, currently led by Jose Mourinho – the last coach to guide the Old Trafford side to a European cup win, before matchups with PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, and a trip to take on Viktoria Plzen before Christmas. 

In last season’s UEFA Champions League outing for Man United, it proved one to forget in a big hurry – with the side finishing bottom of their tough group, which included both Bayern Munich and FC Copenhagen, losing 4 matches from their 6 outings, despite enjoying a free-scoring run in most outings.

Man United turn in huge 7-0 win over Barnsley ahead of Premier League return https://soccerballworld.com/man-united-7-0-win-barnsley-premier-league/ Wed, 18 Sep 2024 12:32:46 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4852 Recording their biggest win in the Erik ten Hag era, Man United cruised to success against League One side, Barnsley overnight in the Carabao Cup – enjoying a roughshod run en route to a 7-0 win at home.

Man United, who managed to strike the league cup as the first piece of silverware under the tenure of Dutch head coach, ten Hag, started impressively at Old Trafford overnight, with an early strike from Marcus Rashford. 

Soon thereafter, Man United would add a second and third before half time with Antony converting a penalty, and Alejandro Garnacho scoring before the break.

Just moments into the second half, Garnacho and Rashford would complete the rout – with Danish midfielder, Christian Eriksen adding a sixth and seventh with a late brace.

Man United enjoy 7-0 rout against Barnsley

And returning to Premier League action against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, fans of United globally can catch all the action on the road by obtaining a VPN for Firestick – with United looking to continue in their winning run.

Last time out in Premier League action on the road, Man United managed to land a 0-3 win on at St. Mary’s against Southampton, with goals from Matthijs de Ligt, as well as the above-mentioned Rashford and Garnacho steering the tide in favor of ten Hag.

And following last night’s progression into the next round of the Carabao Cup, ten Hag praised the striking of Rashford, who ended his drought last weekend – and has now struck three times in his last two starts in all competitions.

“In my first season, he (Marcus Rashford) had a vibe, a good mood and was calm, composed and i was confident he would score,” Man United boss Erik ten Hag told Sky Sports following the win.

“I think last season for everyone was difficult but we ended up with a trophy and you can’t forget it, but by the end we hit our targets and this is what we aim for this season,” ten Hag explained. “We want to progress and go forward, just like Marcus Rashford and the whole ream was really hungry. …It was a brilliant goal from Rashford with lots of speed, he is ruthless in front of goal. The key was the shape and the right attitude, 100 percent concentration we played well, It was enjoyable to watch and we played well in defense.”

Attempting to reverse fortunes from last season’s trip to London to take on a then-streaking Palace side, United were comfortably brushed aside – with Michael Olise striking two wonderful goals before his move to Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich.

Completely a massive 4-0 route at home, further strikes from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell downed the side in one-sided nature.

Hooked off at the hour mark, the trio of Rashford, Portuguese full back Diogo Dalot and new signing, Manuel Ugarte are all expected to make the trip to Selhurst Park this weekend and feature from the beginning, as United look to continue this recent vein of free goalscoring.

Gareth Southgate clear betting favorite for Man United job as rumors continue to swirl https://soccerballworld.com/gareth-southgate-betting-odds-man-united/ Tue, 17 Sep 2024 17:27:14 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4829 Despite landing some much-needed restbite with a 0-3 win away to Southampton over the course of last weekend, Erik ten Hag’s future as permanent Man United coach is still under scrutiny – particularly with the availability of Gareth Southgate. 

Travelling on the road to St. Mary’s over the course of the weekend, despite an early penalty scare, Man United ran out comfortable 0-3 winners against the newly-promoted side, with one of the more impressive wins since ten Hag’s arrival from Ajax.

Goals from new signing, Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and a late came from Alejandro Garnacho saw the away side run out as impressive wins and move to number 10 in the Premier League table, snapping a two-match losing skid against Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as a 0-3 loss against Liverpool. 

Gareth Southgate favorite for Man United manager role

And amid that aforenoted skid, former England head coach, Gareth Southgate has emerged as a massive +200 betting favorite to become the next permanent Man United coach – something fans who are interested in betting on football are sure to find intriguing. 

However, with constant murmurs regarding the status of Dutch coach, ten Hag’s security at Old Trafford, the former Eredivisie winner insisted that with a Carabao Cup clash with Barnsley on the horizon tonight, his side is taking the pairing more than serious in search of a second win in the competition since his move to the side.

“I think all the leagues are important,” Erik ten Hag told during his pre-match press conference as acquired from the BBC. “In top football, at the end of the day, it is about winning trophies and hitting targets. You se some targets in the season but also longer term ones which you want to grow into, therefore you have a strategy and follow the strategy. You develop and progress the team.”

“When you win one of the five [top] leagues then you hit some targets and you have done your job well,” Erik ten Hag continued. 

Also joining the dugout this summer as part of ten Hag’s next backroom staff, former Manchester United striker and Dutch forward, Ruud van Nistelrooy has been handed the assistant manager role at Old Trafford. 

Furthermore, the Man United favorite’s status at the club in such a prominent assistant manager position, has led to more speculation that should things turn sour once more this season, the new INEOS-backed regime has a head coach in place to take the reigns already. 

And as a result, the Premier League winner is currently drawing outsider odds as the second betting favorite as high as +275 behind Gareth Southgate to replace his compatriot in a permanent facet in the Old Trafford dugout. 

Returning to Premier League action next weekend ahead of another go-round in the UEFA Europa League, Man United take to the road again – travelling to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace following a heavy defeat last season.

And next week, their European tenure kicks off at home against Dutch side, FC Twente – with current manager, ten Hag enjoyed two stints at the side during his professional playing career.

Thomas Tuchel rules himself from Man United job with betting odds axed as board drag heels on Erik ten Hag’s future https://soccerballworld.com/thomas-tuchel-man-united-manager-betting-odds/ Sun, 09 Jun 2024 16:44:03 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4390 Former Chelsea head coach, Thomas Tuchel has reportedly ruled himself from the running to take over at Man United this summer amid the continued uncertain future of current manager, Erik ten Hag – following preliminary talks with the club last week.

Tuchel, who landed a stunning UEFA Champions League victory with Chelsea during his time at the London club, is set to depart Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich this summer – following a semi final exit to Real Madrid in the same competition, as well as a disappointing domestic campaign.

Thomas Tuchel eliminates himself from Man United job running

And sat behind another former Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino in the betting race to land the Man United job, despite Tuchel’s removal from the sprint to become the new manager, fans and punters can still bet on the future of the position at Old Trafford, with a scatter symbol on offer to fans of the Razor Shark slot – as well as multiple wild card wins and prizes. 

Holding preliminary talks with the INEOS-backed side last month, reports today on social media revealed Tuchel plans to take the summer off from football management following his spell with Munich, with the German coach thus eliminating himself from the race to take over.

With United set to make a definitive decision on the future of ten Hag as early as next week – as the fiasco over the Dutchman’s reign continues to rumble on, Man United enjoyed a fruitful end to their domestic campaign last month, lifting the FA Cup against rivals, Man City

Lifting the FA Cup for the first time since the reign of another Dutch coach, Louis van Gaal, goals from academy stars, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo guided Man United to a 2-1 win at Wembley – with Belgian winger, Jeremy Doku scoring what transpired to be a consolation for Pep Guardiola’s side. 

And commenting on the future of ten Hag, the previously mentioned, van Gaal praised the former Ajax coach’s performance as manager, while insisting he could likely have done better – and should be afforded more time, as he should have himself.

“Of course [Erik ten Hag should not be sacked],” Louis van Gaal told Sky Sports. “But I needed also more time at Manchester United. I also won the FA Cup and before me for 20 years [no other manager] has got the FA Cup [at Man United].”

“Now, Erik is winning the FA Cup and also first year qualifying for the Champions League so I don’t think you have to sack him,” van Gaal explained. “He needs more time but I can also be more critical. He has not done it fantastically – you can give criticizm – but he has also shown he is a good manager.” 

Expected to enjoy a busy period in the summer transfer window, United are reportedly exploring early deals for Eventon center half, Jarad Brantwaithe, as well as Crystal Palace winger, Michael Olise – with the Frenchman also on the radar of the above-mentioned, Chelsea, who themselves appointed former Italian midfielder, Enzo Maresca to replace Pochettino earlier this month.

Erik ten Hag confident on Man United future despite betting odds suggesting imminent sacking: ‘We go for next season’ https://soccerballworld.com/erik-ten-hag-betting-odds-man-united-job-sack/ Fri, 24 May 2024 15:19:15 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4343 Erik ten Hag claims plans are in place for him to “go for next season” with Manchester United ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final against Manchester City, despite reports circulating today claiming the Dutchman is set to be relieved of his duties at Old Trafford regardless of the outcome of tomorrow’s clash.

ten Hag, who has completed two seasons in the dugout at Old Trafford, guided the side to a disappointing eighth-placed finish this season, following an impressive run to third in his first campaign in charge of the side. 

However, amid continued speculation over his imminent future at United, reports revealed today how the side has already decided to part ways with the former Ajax manager ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final against neighbours, City, regardless of the match’s outcome. 

And with the sack race hotting up in terms of betting on ten Hag’s immediate future – a host of managerial candidates are available on a Czech website for Slovaks to replace the Dutchman, in what promises to be a huge summer 2024 period for Man United. 

Speaking with press ahead of tomorrow’s final at Wembley clash with Premier League winners, City, ten Hag – who was questioned about his immediate future prior to today’s reports of his imminent sacking, the former claimed he would take his holiday on Sunday following the final, and was preparing to “go for next season” with the club.

“No, we already did that,” Erik ten Hag replied to questions about whether talks were set to commence next over his future at the club. “Sunday, I go on holiday. I think I deserved it. …We go for next season.”

“We are together,” ten Hag explained. “They are (Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford) – since January – part of this club and they want us to win trophies. The club did not win so many trophies in the last 10 years, so now we have a second opportunity in two years. It is a big opportunity to win another trophy.” 

And stressing his desire to achieve a top-four finish at Old Trafford next season if afforded another go-round with United, ten Hag remained adamant that if were not for an injury-ridden season, the club would be playing UEFA Champions League football next season.

“We are definitely competitive for top four,” ten Hag explained. “But the competition, the Premier League, there are many teams in this moment who battle for the top four. But we are definitely in there. Also, we would have been this season – if the players would have been available. But that is the biggest thing that has to change, that players over the course of the season are available.” 

As things stand, however, ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final, ten Hag’s leading potential successor has been identified as Ipswich Town head coach, Kieran McKenna – who guided ‘The Tractor Boys’ to back-to-back promotions in the form of Premier League football next season. 

The Fermanagh native was a part of the coaching setup during both tenures under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solsksjaer at Man United, and has heavily impressed since taking the reigns at Ipswitch – drawing interest from current manager-less sides, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Chelsea.

Kieran McKenna emerges as big betting favorite to take Man United job amid impending exit of Erik ten Hag https://soccerballworld.com/kieran-mckenna-betting-odds-man-united-job/ Thu, 23 May 2024 14:50:30 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4341 Former first team coach, Kieran McKenna has usurped some massive candidates this Friday afternoon to take the hot seat at Old Trafford this summer, with Manchester United reportedly on the brink of parting ways with Dutch head coach, Erik ten Hag. 

McKenna, a former first team coach at Man United under both the reigns of Jose Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, departed United upon the appointment of current head coach, ten Hag – and has since led Ipswitch Town to stunning back-to-back promotions.

Guiding the side to the Premier League next season through an impressive second place finish in the EFL Championship, McKenna had been identified as a potential candidate for the vacant positions at both Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as London side, Chelsea.

However, amid reports today that Dutch boss, ten Hag will be relieved of his duties even if United topple neighbours, Man City in tomorrow’s FA Cup final, 38-year-old coach, McKenna has emerged as a big betting favorite at just 5/4 to become the next permanent Manchester United manager.

Amid reports that a season review would be held following tomorrow’s trip to Wembley regarding the future of ten Hag, many national casino and bookies are taking bets on United’s next permanent manager including punters from Czech Republic (cz) – in what promises to be a massive story in the coming weeks.

Guiding the Old Trafford side to a disappointing eighth-placed finish in his second season in charge following last year’s third-placed finish and a league cup success, ten Hag’s future has come under fierce scrutiny in recent weeks, with reports suggesting new minority stake owners INEOS would evaluate an overhaul from top to bottom at the club. 

And today, reports from numerous national publications have revealed that the club are on the brink of parting ways with ten Hag – regardless of if United lift the FA Cup tomorrow against Premier League champions, City.

Following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino from Chelsea last week, the Argentine head coach had landed himself top of the list to become the next Man United manager, knocking German coach, Thomas Tuchel from a potential perch with the bookies. 

However, today, odds have been severely slashed on the appointment of Fermanagh native, McKenna – with club officials already holding talks with the Ipswich coach’s representatives.

Another potential candidate to replace ten Hag should the former Ajax head coach depart the Old Trafford dugout this summer is current Brentford head coach, Thomas Frank, who has impressed since promoting the side to the Premier League.

Also linked with a move to Stamford Bridge to replace Pochettino at Chelsea, Frank is currently drawing odds of 18/1 to take the United job – sat behind former Brighton & Hove Albion pair, Graham Potter, and Roberto De Zerbi – as well as current England national team manager, Gareth Southgate. 

As far as ten Hag is concerned however, prior to today’s reports, the Dutchman confirmed he would be taking his holiday on Sunday following the FA Cup final, and as far as he was aware, he would be preparing for next season with the club, with his future at Old Trafford not up for discussion.

Mauricio Pochettino emerges as huge betting favorite to take Man United seat after shock Chelsea exit https://soccerballworld.com/mauricio-pochettino-betting-odd-man-united-job/ Wed, 22 May 2024 23:53:22 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4304 Argentine head coach, Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the current betting favorite to become the next permanent manager at Manchester United, amid building pressure on current head coach, Erik ten Hag – as well as his surprising exit from Premier League rivals, Chelsea.

Pochettino, a former coach notably at Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Paris Saint Germain, guided London giants, Chelsea to an admittedly sixth place finish in a difficult domestic season, earning the side UEFA Europa League football next season.

And reports yesterday confirmed how the former Argentine midfielder had come to a mutual agreement with the Chelsea board to depart Stamford Bridge after just one season in the dugout, to much surprise and shock. 

Off the back of Mauricio Pochettino’s departure overnight, the heralded tactician has emerged as an impressive 11/8 betting favorite to become the next permanent Manchester United manager, knocking Bayern Munich coach, Thomas Tuchel from a perch – who himself is set to leave the Bundesliga side this summer.

Some of the best and most notable casinos and bookies alike are offering football fans and viewers the best odds on moves in both the manager circle and player circle this summer, on the best $1 deposit offers – in what promises to be a huge summer period with the UEFA European Championships landing in Germany before domestic football kicks off again in August. 

Himself facing a more than uncertain future following the end of his second season in charge of Old Trafford side, United – Dutch head coach, ten Hag’s future is under huge scrutiny ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup final against cross-town rivals, Manchester City – who are fresh from their record-setting fourth consecutive Premier League title victory. 

Another emerging force in a bid to become the next permanent Manchester United boss comes in the form of former Brighton & Hove Albion boss, Roberto De Zerbi – who watched on as goals from Diogo Dalot and Ramus Højlund downed his side on the final day of the Premier League last weekend. 

And departing the seaside club amid links to a potential return to his antive Itlay with giant Serie A side, AC Milan, De Zerbi is drawing odds currently as low as 6/1 to take the reigns at United ahead of next summer. 

An interesting note in the potential appointment of Mauricio Pochettino at United, comes off the back of reports which confirmed how INEOS – the minority stake owners of the Manchester club, had propositioned the Argentine coach to manage Ligue 1 side, Nice, who are also under the ownership of British billionaire, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, ultimately to no avail.

Heavily linked with the United dugout prior to the arrival of former Ajax head coach, ten Hag, Pochettino, a Newell’s Old Boys and Espanyol favorite would reportedly “entertain” talks with the club to determine a potential move. 

Guiding Chelsea to a stunning win against United back in April at Stamford Bridge in their Premier League return, Mauricio Pochettino watched on as club top scorer, Cole Palmer netted twice uber-late into added time to land a shocking 4-3 come-from-behind victory against ten Hag’s side.

Thomas Tuchel remains betting favorite to land Man United post this summer after UEFA Champions League exit https://soccerballworld.com/thomas-tuchel-betting-odds-man-united-job/ Thu, 09 May 2024 21:33:57 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4219 German head coach, Thomas Tuchel still remains the bookies favorite to land the post at Manchester United this summer – if the club relieve Erik ten Hag of his duties, despite guiding Bayern Munich to their first trophy-less season since 2011/2012.

Thomas Tuchel, who is expected to leave the Bundesliga side at the end of their domestic season, watched on helplessly from the sideline at the Santiago Bernabeu last night, with Real Madrid scoring twice through late goals from Joselu, to book a Wembley final against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

And on the cusp of a third competition final appearance, Thomas Tuchel’s side took a second half lead through an inspired substitution, with Alfonso Davies netting with a splendid effort.

However, failing to sure up the ship for the 90 minutes, Bayern were put to the sword late on with former Stoke City forward, Joselu scoring a late brace to send the capital side to a Wembley meeting against Bundesliga side, Dortmund.

And despite their late exit, Thomas Tuchel remains the current 6/4 betting favorite to land the Man United job this summer, if the new INEOS-backed regime elects to sack manager ten Hag amid a faltering season in his second campaign in charge. 

Thomas Tuchel favorite to take over at Man United

Fans and punters alike can bet on a slew of candidates to land the Man United job this summer with the departure of ten Hag, as well as take part in their favorite casino games and other slots at https://casinorix.com/ca/ontario/ – with the sport sure to take in massive audiences ahead of EURO 2024 this year to boot. 

Beyond Thomas Tuchel, United have also been heavily linked with current England national team head coach, Gareth Southgate, much to the dismay of the majority of the fanbase it has to be said.

Failing to guide the national side to any major competition victories, Southgate, a former Middlesbrough manager may have his last chance to do so this summer at EURO 2024 – with the side tipped heavily to finally land the European championship following 2021 heartbreak on home soil against Italy.

Furthermore, the side has been linked almost all season long with the pursuit of former Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea boss, Graham Potter, who has yet to return to football since his unceremonious departure from Stamford Bridge.

Another unpopular choice amongst the Old Trafford faithful, Potter reportedly turned down an approach from ten Hag’s former side, Ajax this week, who held the British coach in high regard, following a tumultuous season in the Eredivisie.

Managing back-to-back promotions with Ipswich Town following his departure from United as well as Michael Carrick from former coach, Ole Gunnar Solksjaear’s coaching team, the highly-touted, Kieran McKenna has also been sounded out as a potential candidate to take the helm, albeit holding a significant outsiders chance according to the bookies.

Akin to McKenna, Sporting Lisbon head coach, Ruben Amorin, who had been linked with the dugouts at both Liverpool, and West Ham United in recent months, is also considered an outsider when it comes to replacing ten Hag – who will hope to more than likely save his future with just three Premier League games remaining, and a FA Cup final against rivals, Manchester City.

Man United emerge as betting favorite in race to sign Michael Olise, Pedro Neto ahead of huge summer transfer spree https://soccerballworld.com/man-united-betting-michael-olise-pedro-neto/ Tue, 30 Apr 2024 18:22:47 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4137 Ahead of a pivotal summer transfer window, Man United have emerged as betting favorites in a host of markets to sign either Crystal Palace winger, Michael Olise, or Wolves wideman, Pedro Neto – amid reports of huge ingoings and outgoings at Old Trafford.

United, struggling throughout this season’s domestic campaign following a disappointing run in the UEFA Champions League which saw a group stage exit, currently sits in sixth position – far behind Tottenham and a single point ahead of Newcastle with just four games remaining.

And earlier this week, reports emerged from the UK detailing how the newly-backed INEOS project at United under Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning a huge outgoing spree at Carrington.

Names such as Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay, Jadon Sancho, and even academy product, Marcus Rashford have all been heavily linked with permanent departures from the side this summer.

And with outgoings aplenty, reports have confirmed how ingoings are expected aplenty akin this summer – with United the current 13/8 betting favorites on markets to sign Michael Olise, and 9/2 odds are shortening on a move for Portuguese winger, Pedro Neto.

With fans and punters aplenty set to back in their numbers ahead of the culmination of a massive Premier League title race, players in casinos can learn about new casinos that accept CashApp payments ahead of EURO 2024 this summer to boot, with slots and other gambling games, and all their favorite casino games tying in with a massive summer of betting for international football. 

Olise, a native of France – as well as a confessed boyhood Manchester United fan, was linked with a pair of late summer transfer moves last year, including moves to both city neighbours, Manchester City, as well as Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea – both of which failed to materialize. 

As for Neto, the former Braga and Lazio winger has enjoyed an impressive run on the wing for Wolves this season, netting at Molineux against United earlier this year, with a fine effort in the dying stages of their reverse fixture in the Premier League. 

Also identified as a target for Premier League leaders, Arsenal this summer – who look to score a stunning title victory in the closing weeks of the season, a trio consisting of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, as well as the above-menitoned Neto is reportedly on Spanish head coach, Mikel Arteta’s wishlist. 

As well as a move for either Olise or Neto, Manchester United are also reportedly set to splash more cash higher up the pitch in terms of a striker rotator for Danish forward, Rasmus Højlund.

Namely, Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, who led Italian side Napoli to a spectacular Serie A title victory – is available as short as 9/1 for punters and casino players to bet on, if they think the former Lille striker will make good on a long-rumored move to the Premier League with United. 

One player who is comfortably sitting as a short betting favorite to link up at United this summer is Everton center half, Jarrad Branthwaite – who is available as short as 4/5 to ply his trade at Old Trafford from next season onwards.

PSG emerge as betting favorites to sign Man United star Marcus Rashford amid reports of summer fire sale https://soccerballworld.com/psg-betting-favorites-to-sign-marcus-rashford/ Tue, 30 Apr 2024 16:15:05 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=4133 Amid reports of a summer clearout at Old Trafford, French side, Paris Saint Germain have emerged as betting favorites to sign English forward, Marcus Rashford – with Man United reportedly set to consider realistic offers for the wideman.

Rashford, a product of United’s stellar academy setup, has come under mass scrutiny in recent months amid his diminishing performances on the left flank of the side’s attack, turning in poor form following a fantastic goalscoring season last campaign.

Citing unfair abuse and criticizm levelled his way as part of a faltering campaign under the tutelage of Dutch coach, Erik ten Hag – who himself has also come under fire amid a disappointing second season in the dugout, reports overnight confirmed how the club would consider offers for the England forward.

And amid those reports, Rashford, who is expected to be included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for EURO 2024 this summer, the United star has seen odds on a summer move to PSG slashed as low as 4/1 – in what would come as one of the club’s most high-profile transfers in recent seasons. 

PSG favorites to sign Marcus Rashford this summer

Fans and punters hoping to get in on the action early ahead of both EURO 2024 and what promises to be a massive summer transfer window, can do so. Using a “BetMGM Bonus Code’ offers fans a way to participate in all of this summer’s football action – ahead of a massive European tournament on the international front. 

Reports of a summer move to Ligue 1 to join PSG come hot on the heels of continued speculation regarding the future of French star, World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to finally make good on a move to Spanish side, Real Madrid in a massive, potentially world-record setting link up. 

In that overnight report as mentioned earlier, it appears young prospects including midfield academy product, Kobbie Mainoo, exciting winger, Alejandro Garnacho, and Danish striker, Rasmus Højlund appear to be the only safe members of the side from any swinging axe in the summer window.

Under the tutelage of part-owners INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United have been linked with the sale of Brazilian veteran midfielder, Casemiro, French World Cup winner, Raphael Varane, as well as the likes of Scott McTominay, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, and Mason Greenwood – who is currently on loan at La Liga side, Getafe, in a massive overhaul. 

In terms of incomings through the doors at Carrington in the summer months, attacking full back, Jeremie Frimpong – who is fresh from his stunning Bundesliga success with Bayer Leverkusen, has been linked with a move, as has RB Leipzig forward, Benjamin Sesko. 

In terms of other potential incomings, Crystal Palace winger, Michael Olise has reportedly been identified as a potential signing, as has Juventus midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, who has been involved in numerous transfer merry-go-rounds with United.

Fresh from his knockout win over Liverpool in the UEFA Europa League, Brazilian midfielder, Ederson has been linked as an ideal replacement for a potential outgoing, Casemiro to boot – as part of a progressively and free-flowing Atalanta side under the coaching of Italian veteran, Gian Piero Gasperini.
