Top Of The Flops: You Bet Sir Alex Drops All But Wayne!
With Sir Alex expected to be on the war path after United were dumped out of the FA Cup, bookmakers William Hill are offering 33/1 that only Rooney survives from Saturday’s opening line-up. Meanwhile, Man City have not conceded since Mancini took over but Hills are 2/5 that they concede on Wednesday night and 7/4 that they keep a clean sheet. Tevez is 11/2 score in front of the Man Utd fans and Belamy is 8/1 to score from outside the box.
“You cannot imagine that the Manchester Utd changing room has been a fun place to be in the last few days and we think that Fergie is going to be ringing the changes,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
Hills are 4/1 that Mancini brings in four or more new players in January, with two the favourite at 2/1. Hills are also betting on where Leed’s giant killing striker Jermain Beckford is at the end of the January window and make Newcastle their favourite at 1/1 but for him to remain at Leeds Hills offer 7/4.
