Sir Alex’s last game at Old Trafford – United to turn on style against Swansea?

United take on Swansea in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final home game in charge and are a top priced 1.33 with Coral and Ladbrokes to give him a winning send-off.

The game, which comes on a day which will officially be crowned champions for a 20th time, will mean so much for players, fans and the departing manager and it’s hard to see anything other than a wide margin success for the Red Devils in what promises to be some party at old Trafford.

I fully expect United to turn on the style and give the Welsh side a drubbing, and it would be no surprise to see them score four or more.

With that in mind, over 3.5 goals has to be the starting pint from a betting perspective and you can get a tasty looking 2.25 with Betfred and sportingbet about that outcome.

United to win to nil also makes plenty of appeal at 2.25 with Betfred, and in the correct score market I am going to suggest split stakes on a 4-0 or 5-0 success.

Those scorelines can be backed at a best of 15 and 29 respectively with Betfred.

In the goalscorer markets it’s very hard to get away from the obvious claims of Robin van Persie who has scored six times in his last five appearances.

The Dutchman looks well worth a wager at the 4 on offer with bet365 to score first and can also be backed at 1.62 with Boylesports to net anytime.
