Man United face stiff competition to win Premier League as betting odds release with fixture reveal

Set to welcome arch-rivals, Arsenal to Old Trafford to kick off their new Premier League campaign in August, Man United have been placed as the sixth highest betting odds to lift the first division title for a record-setting twenty-first time come next May.

Beginning their domestic campaign this year on August 17. — Man United will welcome historic North London rivals, Arsenal to their home on the opening weekend, hoping to lay down a marker of intent — as a season without European football closes in.

And it’s a rather fiery start to the season ahead of Ruben Amorim’s first full campaign in charge, as United also take on top-6 finishers, Manchester City, and Chelsea, within their opening six Premier League matches of the season.

Thus, multiple markets have placed United as high as 28/1 to win the Premier League this season, with Liverpool — the current holders already opening as short 15/8 favorites ahead of Manchester City. Fans of gambling and betting can get in the action early, before August even, by visiting free SC casinos for all their favorite games and markets.

Ending their campaign last season with a win over Aston Villa to deny Unai Emery’s side UEFA Champions League football, Man United will face off with the Midlands side just before Christmas Day.

Other notable days on the calendar for fans see United face Liverpool in the North West Derby on October 18. at Anfield, before travelling to Elland Road to take on newly-promoted Leeds United in another hotly contested clash at the turn of the year.

Hoping to further bolster their squad this summer in a bid to improve on a measly 14th. place finish — their lowest in Premier League history last time around, United have already splashed the cash big up top this summer.

Signing Brazilian forward, Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, United are still locked in talks with London side, Brentford, as they look to iron out details on a deal to sign free-scoring right-sided finisher, Bryan Mbuemo.

Linked with a whole host of striking options from the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Jonathan David, Hugo Ekitike, Victor Osimhen, and Jean-Phillipe Mateta in recent weeks, it seems outgoings must be on the cards for Man United to secure an out-and-out goalscorer first.

In the vein of the likely outgoing Jadon Sancho and Antony this summer, United are also reportedly set to listen to offers for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia. To boot, this week, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund has earned fresh links to a return to Serie A, with UEFA Champions League finalists, Internazionale sniffing around the former Atalanta man.

Furthermore, Man United are also expected to listen to substantial offers for goalkeeper, Andre Onana, this summer, following another topsy-turvy time between the sticks last season.

Potential replacements for the Cameroon international include former youth team prospect, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic — as well as FC Porto shot stopper, Diogo Costa — who impressed for Portugal in their recent UEFA Nations League tournament victory.

Turkish backup keeper, Altay Bayindir, is also expected to be in the shop front this summer, despite making his move from Fenerbache at the beginning of 2023.
