“Forget about Liverpool, they are making noise as usual, Only Man United have the advantage to beat us and win Premier League this season and here is why…”: Pep Gaurdiorla says Only Man United have what it takes to beat Man City and win Premier League this season, reveals the crucial reasons
United are 14th in the table and 200/1 to win the Premier League, so we will rule that one out. They are in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, however, and must travel to Tottenham next month for their last eight showdown. The Red Devils are 11/2 in the outright winner market.
Then there is the Europa League which they are 7/1 to win despite starting with three draws. It’s a slog of a competition but could Amorim negotiate United’s path to the final? Of course, he has been managing Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League this season, so stepping down to the Europa League should be a doddle.
In January, the team will set out on the road to Wembley as FA Cup holders. One thing that could be said for Erik ten Hag was that he knew how to win a cup competition. That kept him in the job for 850 days. Amorim is 17/20 to last at least that long but he also the same price to go before then.
If you think United will win any of the four trophies mentioned under Amorim this season then back them at 13/8.
Will Man Utd win the Premier League in three years?
There is a place waiting in the history books for the Manchester United manager who delivers their first Premier League title of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
It is now 11 years and counting since the club last finished top of the table. They have finished second, albeit without truly challening for the title, twice during that time – under Jose Mourinho in 2018 and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2021.
Can Amorim deliver the holy grail within three years? He is 10/1 to do it but, just to underline the uncertainty about how the 39-year-old will fare at the club, you can get the same price on him leaving before the end of this season.
