Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United have shortened from 8/1 to 4/1 in the Top 4 odds market after an impressive 2-1 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Old Trafford.
After being battered 4-0 by Brentford in Gameweek 2, United bounced back with a huge win over rivals Liverpool with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford giving them the victory.
Getting the three points last night saw their implied probability of a top 4 finish jump from 12% yesterday to 20% this morning, with best odds of 9/2 available for United getting top 4.

Last night, it seemed Man United thrived with pace in attack, with Rashford, Sancho and Anthony Elanga getting the start, with the latter being replaced by Anthony Martial in the second half.
The omission of Cristiano Ronaldo until the 84th minute shows the potential role he could have this season in Erik ten Hag’s side if he does not secure a move away from the club.
The Portuguese forward is currently 1/2 to remain at United this season, with Borussia Dortmund (7/1), Sporting Lisbon (9/1), and Chelsea (11/1) the favourites in the market to sign him.
United’s transfer business seems far from over this window with the club heavily linked to sign Brazilian winger Anthony from ten Hag’s former side Ajax.
He is currently a best price of 4/11 to move to Old Trafford, with Unibet offering 3/1 best price for the winger to stay at Ajax beyond the end of this window.
PSV winger Cody Gakpo is rumoured to be the alternative option if the Anthony deal fails to go through. He is 4/7 for a move to United, 7/4 to remain with PSV.
The Frenkie de Jong saga seems to have cooled as the Dutch international looks likely to stay at Barcelona this season (5/6 best price), with United 7/4 best price to sign the midfielder.
Looking ahead to this weekend’s match, United are 5/6 best price to get the win away at Southampton, with Sancho a best price of 11/1 (worst price 8/1) to open the scoring again.
