Betfair are offering a special promotion for the Man Utd match. They are paying double odds on the first scorer market. Check their website here .  For example if you back Wayne Rooney to score first at 5/1 for €10. Your odds will be doubled. You will be paid winnings of €60 in cash and €50 in free bets. This offers good value.  What I recommend is  1. Back one of Martial or Rooney as first scorer. They are both 9/2 joint favourites  at the time of writing . 2.

Never use your free bet on short odds. A €50 free bet at odds of 1/10 will pay back €5 almost certainly. But a €50 free bet at odds of 4/1 will pay back €200 ab...

Paddypower are re-runnning their top goalscorer promotion from last season. See here how I turned this to my favour last season. This season the bookie highly rates Aguero and Costa. So I am recommending putting €20 on both Aguero and Costa, and €10 e/w bet on maybe Wayne Rooney or one of the outside favourites.  With these three players likely to score at least 13 goals each next season this will likely earn us 3 x 13 x €2 free bets. So €78 in free bets which with a bit of thinking you should be able to convert back to €62.40 in real money. So you will probably win back your stake before the bet is settled.

Raheem Sterling is 66/1 to make top goalscorer, but the odds (see below) are suggesting that Paddy Power are reckoning on him hitting the net 9 or 10 times next season. I take this to mean that those players quoted at 20/1 and shorter are likely to score at least a few more goals, say at...
