Anybody here a Manchester United fan and bettor?

It's possible to make a bit on the lads this year. Some odds don't seem to have caught up with major improvements at Old Trafford.

Not a fan personally, but if some profit can be made, we're all ears paddy

What happened to the team? Why did they become irrelevant?

I know fans & many English weren't very happy when the Glazers(Bucs owners) bought and took over the team

Im not a fan since i chose Liverpool at an early age. You have to admire the way they rebuilt this present edition. They have brought in " role players that fit the needs of the team as opposed to years past where they signed players based on popularity. That midfield with Fernandes and Erikson as well as skilled players like Antony and Weghorst add to the likes of Rashford etc The future looks very bright

They are not irrelevant now Jeremiah, but I do take your point. They were shite when Ferguson left, but it all began when Ferguson fell out with Roy Keane. It was Keane who made that dynasty. Ferguson was smart enough to pay the then record British price for a player and bring him from Notts Forest to Old Trafford. I saw a quote once from some Brit sportswriter who talked about the team, especially of the brain of the Frenchman Cantona, the legs of Ryan Giggs, and the crosses of Beckham, and finished by saying, "...but, the steel heart of Manchester United beats in the chest of a Corkman." The American goalkeeper, Tim Howard, who played for Man U for several years, says he was the greatest leader he had seen in ANY sport.

'The scariest individual I've probably been around' - Former Man United goalkeeper on Roy Keane

Roy Keane's former Manchester United teammate Tim Howard has described the Irishman as the "greatest leader I've ever seen in sports."

The greatest period of Man U's history is the time when Roy Keane was the captain. When he left, Ferguson was still a major force, and Michael Carrick was a great captain as well. But when Fergie left, and the manager revolving door started, that Man United was gone.

Now we have this Dutchie man ager. Getting much more strong at all positions. When Keane left, it was still a good team (won another Champions League). When Ferguson left, it was a goat f*** until this year.

The jury is still out on Antony, Franz. I'd like to know if Greenwood is coming back. All charges dropped. Erickson is a major factor in the good results. I'll be glad to see the back of Martial.

Right now the line for Man U win is -136. Game is Sunday early over here. That's a good line. I'd be fairly sure they'd win, but I would like to see who is going to line out at the beginning before I bet. See what it is midnight Saturday.

Man U used to be an auto play now proceed with caution

Yes, caution always.
