Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “The narrative around Man Utd this season has once again been generally negative. We’ve certainly spent more time looking at Solskjaer’s odds to be sacked than his side’s odds for the title.”
“However, while we’ve seen plenty of questionable performances from United, five points off the top with a game in hand as we approach Christmas has to be applauded. They’re finally catching the eye of punters too.”
