Man United vs Reading Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview
Manchester United vs Reading predictions and football betting tips for the FA Cup third round tie where Man United are on TV once again.
Can Jaap Stam cause an upset on his long awaited return to Old Trafford? The Dutchman returns as Reading boss after leaving Manchester United in 2001. The Royals have been in fantastic form in the Championship, could they pull off a shock here?
Man United vs Reading Predictions
There’s every chance that this will be a league fixture next term, with Reading riding high in the second tier. Stam has managed to inspire his side to a promotion push, so they’ll have ambitions of making a return to Old Trafford next season. With that in mind, you have to wonder just how big a priority the FA Cup will be for them.
ENHANCED ODDS – 25/1 for Man United to win when you open an Coral account via this link.
Manchester United will take this competition seriously, as Jose Mourinho always does. He tends to field strong sides in the FA Cup, despite winning it once in five seasons in England. We can see him making a statement here by naming a strong side. We’re backing Marcus Rashford to be part of that after an impressive few weeks, and we’re backing the young forward to score any time at 7/6 with 888Sport for our first Man United vs Reading prediction.
United have won seven straight games, keeping four clean sheets in that run. They should be able to manage a victory and a shutout against Championship opposition. With the Red Devils in form, we’re backing them to win to nil for our second Man United vs Reading betting tip. That’s priced at 10/11 with Bet Victor, and it could get your Saturday bets off to a winning start.
