11/2 Manchester United fans – worth a punt?

Manchester United have won their last two games after going behind and bet365 are offering you odds of 11/2 for it to happen again against Aston Villa today. Man United are looking to make it three out of three as far as comebacks are concerned at Old Trafford tonight, where they will face Gerard Houllier’s revitalised Villa, now led by Darren Bent.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “Man Utd were backed as big as 18/1 against Blackpool in-play last midweek, whilst Fergie’s boys were punted at 5/1 at St Mary’s on Saturday and it’s fair to say that both comebacks were very very costly for bookmakers.”

In other football markets, Man Utd are 7/1 to remain unbeaten with bet365 and 6/1 to win the Premier League by seven points or more, which may now be under threat given the amount of money that Chelsea spent on transfer deadline day yesterday.
