United will make a good start

Another year starts for the 'Red Devils' who have the same goals and expectations. Their transfers were few but essential, especially the one of midfielder Fred who could make the difference in a place where M.United needed aid. Their core players are more than prepared after the World Cup so they will search only for the win in the opening game. Whether Pogba and Lukaku will play, is a last minute's decision for Mourinho, since both of them didn't enter the preparation early. However, their participation is a more possible scenario, if we combine the fact that the Portuguese Coach likes this kind of 'mind games'.

On the other hand, the hosts will play with the absence of one of their most important players, Algerian Mahrez who was sold over 68 million to City. With many transcripts after this one, Leicester will be a question the first rounds. Nigerian attacker Iheanacho is in a very good shape and he has scored four times in the last three friendly games. However this is not enough. 

Manchester United registered three wins at home and just a draw in their recent h2h games. I would choose United's win at 1.47 with a 6 points bet.
