Man Utd vs. Man City Bet Builder Tips: 40/1 treble makes appeal at Old Trafford

It’s the Manchester derby on Saturday lunchtime and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve put together a 40/1 Bet Builder with BoyleSports for the occasion.

Manchester United have quietly been going about their business in recent weeks and are now just four points behind Manchester City in the Premier League table. Erik ten Hag’s side have won all six of their matches in all competitions since returning from the World Cup and have scored three goals in four of their last five. 

Pep Guardiola’s men were dumped out of the League Cup on Wednesday as they were turned over 2-0 at the St Mary’s Stadium. The gap between City and league leaders Arsenal is just four points as we approach the half-way stage of the league season, and with The Gunners facing Spurs on Sunday before Manchester United the following week, this could be the time for City to make an assault on top-spot.

We are starting this three-pronged punt with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford to score anytime. The 25-year-old has been in some of the best form of his career of late and has scored in all of his last six appearances for the club.

That includes a brace when coming off the bench for a 30 minute cameo against Charlton in the League Cup midweek. That’s now 18 goals in total for United this season making him the top-scorer for the Red Devils this term, and with nine goals shared between the two sides when these two met in October, we fancy goals on Saturday.

Next up we are moving into the ‘to be carded’ market where our first pick is Bruno Fernandes. Man United (43) have been racking up the yellow cards this season with only Fulham (46) having been shown more yellows since the start of the campaign.

In the 2021/2022 season, only three players were cautioned more than Bruno Fernandes and this term he’s following a similar path with five in just 16 league outings. No player has collected more for United in the league this season and he’s our prime suspect to find his way into Stuart Attwell’s notebook at Old Trafford. 

Rounding off the trio is Bernardo Silva. He may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of bookings, however, his disciplinary record in Manchester derbies is well worth a look. 

Bernardo was booked in this fixture last season when City ran out 2-0 winners at Old Trafford and in his last seven league meetings with United has been shown three yellows. A player who’s cards tend to come against the bigger sides, Bernardo looks a solid proposition to pick up a card and hopefully bring home this 40/1 Bet Builder.
