Man United rout PAOK as they draw betting lines ahead of Leicester City clash this weekend

Turning in their first European victory this season, Man United managed to roll past Greek champions, PAOK Salonika through a pair of goals from winger, Amad Diallo – as the Premier League side begins to close as betting favorites to beat Leicester City this weekend to boot.

Finally kickstarting their UEFA Europa League campaign following a trio of back-to-back score draws against FC Twente, FC Porto, and then Fenerbache, United managed to coast to an impressive win over Greek side PAOK.

Scoring a second half effort, Ivorian winger, Amad who replaced Marcus Rashford in the starting eleven tonight, headed home from a tight angle, before shifting onto his favored left foot to bend an effort into the far corner with just over 10 minutes remaining.

Man United big betting favorites for win over Leicester City

And fans and punters alike who are looking for the best EPL tips – United are currently closing as high as -275 betting favorites to defeat Leicester City at Old Trafford come Sunday, with interim coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy leading his side out for the final time.

Likely set to earn himself a start this weekend against Leicester City at home, often overlooked wideman, Amad made good on his first start in over a month for United – firing in both efforts to guide the side to their first UEFA Europa League win this season. 

Also taking Man of the Match honors tonight at Old Trafford, minutes on the pitch from the get-go are sure to inspire Amad to kick on under new boss, Ruben Amorim who makes his managerial debut with United later this month.

“The second goal had everything in it that is (Amad) Diallo,” said Van Nistelrooy following United’s win over PAOK. “He fought to win the ball off the defender, then pushed through to take the shot and had the quality to bend it around the goalkeeper.

“He is a great character and a hard worker. He shows that attitude in every training session. Every day in he comes to me and wants to do extra finishing, crossing, one v ones. He is asking how can I improve his shot and his heading.

“He is constantly focused on learning and getting better. He is motivated to get the most from his career.”

Making his first outing as interim Man United coach earlier this month in a Carabao Cup success, a pair of goals from Casemiro to go with a brace from Bruno Fernandes and an effort from Alejandro Garnacho was enough to guide the side to a quarter-final appearance away to Spurs later this year. 

In their most recent Premier League pairing a year ago, United claimed a 3-0 win still under the guidance of dismissed head coach, Erik ten Hag, with the above-mentioned Rashford scoring twice before an effort from the castout, Jadon Sancho. 

To find Leicester City’s most recent win against United, you have to go back to 2021, with goals from Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Jamie Vardy, and Patson Daka cancelling out efforts from Rashford and Mason Greenwood.
