Betting: United v Fulham

United are in the match odds market, it is certainly worth inspecting that superb record against the Cottagers in more detail in order to extract greater value from this clash.

For example, the Reds have now won six consecutive games against Fulham at Old Trafford without conceding a goal, so a repeat performance should find plenty of support at 19/20, while 6/4 about a 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 victory also looks decent.

Elsewhere, there will be a real buzz if, as expected, Robin van Persie makes his first start for the Reds. The Dutchman is 3/1 to break the deadlock and 17/20 to score at any time, but the smarter money in the goalscorer markets is on strike-partner Wayne Rooney. Just like United, the England hitman loves playing against Fulham, having fired four goals in his last three home games against them. Rooney is available at the same prices as van Persie and with his starting place assured, he's the superior bet to star in a comfortable United win.
