The Red Devils have never faced such adversity at Old Trafford, according to bookies.
Manchester United are the longest price they’ve ever been at Old Trafford in the Premier League, ahead of their crucial game with Manchester City.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are a best price of 13/2 to leave Wednesday night’s game with three points, by far their longest odds.
Champions Man City are just 4/9 to come away with maximum points, indicating a 69.2% chance that Pep Guardiola’s side are victorious.
To put things into perspective, in the exact same game last year between the Mancunian giants, United were penned as 23/10 underdogs.
In comparison with other major games at Old Trafford this season, Solskjaer’s side were just 9/4 to beat Liverpool at home in the Premier League.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: “Not only are Manchester United woefully short of form, but there is the added rhetoric here around a win pushing Liverpool ever closer to their first Premier League title.
“So whilst Manchester City come to the game in top form, the huge price may also have something to do with confusing motives for the home side ahead of the derby.
