Manchester United are a top priced 1.91 with Betfred and Paddy Power to get their season off to a flying start with victory over Everton at Goodison and look bankers to do so.
Robin van Persie is in the squad after completing his £24m move from Arsenal in time, and the thought of him linking up with Wayne Rooney is a mouth watering prospect.
In him they now have the reigning footballer of the year and the runner-up to spearhead the attack and that is a frightening thought for any side they face.
Throw in the likes of Welbeck, Hernandez, Nani, Valencia, Young, Giggs, Kagawa and the side now has a formidable look with incredible options attacking-wise.
Vidic is also back, and that is a major boost to United’s back-line as he was sorely missed last season.
As far as the stats are concerned, Everton have won just one of the last 14 Premier League games against United (W1 D4 L9).
The Toffees are also habitual slow starts and have a record of two wins, one draw and seven defeats on the opening day under David Moyes.
Throw in the fact that United won 13 on the road last season – the highest in the PL- and you can see why they are worthy odds-on shots to bag all three points.
Of course the big question will be whether Robin van Persie is in the starting line-up.
I think the Dutchman will get a start, and bookmakers can split him and Rooney in the first goalscorer market.
Both are joint favourites at 5.5 with bet365 and Betfred to break the deadlock, and Wazza comes into this having scored 14 goals in his last 14 Premier League games.
He has also netted 10 times in his last nine PL games in August, but even allowing for those impressive stats I find it hard to split him and RvP in this market.
However I don think that the Dutchman is a good price at 2.3 with bet365 to make a dream start in a United shirt and score anytime if he is in the starting XI.
In the correct score market, United to win 2-0 or 3-0 is my idea of the outcome and those scores can be backed at 8.5 and 15 with bet365, Boylesports and Paddy Power.

Welcome back Admin!
Just do not ever post twice and jinx it will you!
Morning United, I do believe we are on today
19
Come on United! 2-1 RVP for the winner.
Hard game to kick start the season!
19
How many goals has Rooney scored against Everton…?
Now I know we are going to win.
It’s good to see a where to put your money thread after a long summer.
I’m hoping Everton have there usual slow start. I think Kagawa will start tonight behind Rooney and Wellbeck. With Van Persie making his debut from the bench.
My money is on United winning! Why you ask? BECAUSE WE’RE MAN UNITED WE DO WHAT WE WANT. ITS NOT THAT WE’RE ARROGANT, WE’RE JUST BETTER!!
Can’t wait for this one. We got sore wounds we need to heal. And what better way than payback!
0-2 for us
rooney & young
Setting off for scouseland shortly.
COME ON REDS.
On topic.
Admin
Don’t like betting on games, bet you could win a tidy sum if you put a quid on Berbatov playing and it happened.
Off topic?
Get in you REDS!!!!!!!!
Admin is baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
What say we have the open bus parade this week itself? 
James, Tape any spare cash to your backside. Theres a good lad!
Lucky lad just the same. Cheers.
Guys we have a lot of optimism at the moment as Evertonians, however,you are the favourites tonight but we might surprise you as well!!a point will do me tonight,should be a good atmosphere at goodison so I will look forward to a good game,P.S we should all give Brendan Rogers a lot of time at analfield to completely ruin the club.
Good morning!!
Finally….
I’m very exited here
How the fuck can Rio be injured. Played every friendly and injured for the start of the season. Beond me. One has to wonder what our medical and training staff are doing, at least not preventing injuries. We are starting this season the same way as ending it – 4 – FOUR – defenders out.
A huge margin win awaiting tonight
Its going to be an open match, everton never disappoint, they gonna give it a go..
By doing so, invite our boys to the party, just can’t wait
Excitement flooding in
United, united, united!!!!
Go.. Kags!!
When all is said and done we still need Willie to give us an insight to the game and make a prediction.He got it right more often than not last season.The only one he didnt get right was his claim that we had the league wrapped up with four games to go.Common Willie prove it again.
IS IT TRUE THAT DAVID GILL HAS SAID THAT KAKA HAS BEEN OFFERED TO US AND FERGIE IS CONSIDERING IT
Vilhelm28
I dont think the medical team would have done anything to prevent Rio’s setback.Apportioning blame to them whenever a player is injured is the wrong way to look at things.I would call this bad luck.As things stand,our medical team will be in for castigation if RvP suffers an injury.I hope not but people need to understand that some of this injuries are beyond the medical team.
James 21
lucky fucker, enjoy the match, happy days
Arun and other Indians on here – rajesh khanna is dead, we don’t want any other kaka
Sorry guys, that’s another bollywood joke
Anyway, fucking pumped up…at long last, proper football. More than rvp, I’m excited about kagawaaaaa!!!
I hate it when we have to play on Monday night.I know our record playing on Monday nights is impeccable but still given a choice i would rather have it on Saturday or Sunday at worst Monday nights mean no booze for me.
Costas
How many games do we have to play on a Monday this season?Cheers.
Happy match day Reds!
Come on United!
manc in aus
Whereabouts do you live in aussie?Im from Perth.Im sure you share my concern about Monday games as this means you have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to watch the game.Haha anything goes for United,not that im complaining-thing is i always feel good watching the lads in action whilst imbueing some ale.
Red Tash
I agree to some extent. But, when it comes to Rio, the man has a history of injuries and one has to wonder, given that Jones, Smalling and Evans are out, how they (together with the training staff) plan Rios practice. The most important thing the past week would be to keep him fit and ready for the game, considering Vida is back from a serious injury and Rafael hardly has practiced due to Olympics.
GO TEAM!!!!!!!!!!
Red Tash
I also prefer a saturday/Sunday match. Here in india it starts at midnight and it becomes very difficult to watch as next day I have to go to college. Being the first match of the season I will watch.
hooky today?????????????
Ash
I know what you mean.In Perth it’s even worse because the games are televised on foxtel and the scheduling means you have to wake up at some ungodly hour.Most times its three in the morning.Of course i will give everything to watch United including sacrificing my sleep but as soon as the game is finished,i just get in the shower and set off to eek a living.Mmhhhh now im thinking about a very long Tuesday at work.
@bbcsport ” man utd missing four centre backs, carrick may deputise”
Care not, who ever it is we put on
Buzzing at work
Fletch
Won’t take any money mate.
Will be well pumped up soon , the nearer to ko we get.
We only need a 6-0 top the log
I fancy that score-line, we have to much options that we are probably going to brush everton aside.
Who’s better in predos?
fuck off , fuck off, fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a source in italy, Venice that just told me through skype;
“De Rossi demanded a press conference to announce he is joining Man City”
Foooking Helll Ooooh
Got my money on a 4-1 win straight up. Go United!
On another note, a bit depressed about our defense. Is Alex Buttner any good?
Not slating you lads, but what the fuck are you on about? How do you manage to watch the CL matches, ever? Me, I worked out the formula, send kid off to sleep by ten, grab a one hour power nap myself, and then make myself a tall whisky as I settle on the couch. No distractions, perfect! But then my office is 5 min drive from my house, and my clients are all us based, so that helps a lot, lol!
Mind you, if we win, I find it difficult to go back to sleep, such is the buzz! Aah, well one more whisky helps
@Clint-Iamyourpapii – lets put in bid for YaYA Toure!
As James said. Off to the land of the Scums!
Hopefully tonight this blog will be bouncing!
United’s commercial director Richard Arnold said:
“MUTV is a must for any Manchester United fan, offering up-to-date and exclusive news, interviews and archive footage. The dedicated channel has a reach of 60 million worldwide and the club is delighted to be partnering with Fuji TV, one of Japan’s major TV channels, to bring MUTV to Japan.”
@Red Tash
That’s the only Monday night match we have scheduled at the moment. But that usually changes as the season goes on.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/120820/video-meet-man-uniteds-new-lightning-quick-left-back-179062
Bobby Manc is a pathetic cunt i’d like to see him on a team with a budget,this cunt is much worse than Maureen,mo money,mo money
Yeah that’s right let’s blame the Utd medical staff for Rio getting injured in training,going to be a long fucking year
Utsava and jimmy james – if you are sat with the scum, I hope you had your turnips today!!!
Any type of win tonight will be good, don’t care what score it is.
Let’s hit the ground running like we did last season.
Good luck to the lads, especially Kagawa and RVP…let’s get going.
Line up prediction:
DDG
TV7 Carrick Vida Evra
Cleverly Ando
Nani Kagawa Young
Rooney
Who the fuck called me an Everton lad… Talking of smelling a rat, could it possibly be Sara….. with the tingling balls?…. Female with balls?…. Oohhhh I get it… A she-he that is not sure of her/his gender as asked yesterday
Buttner kinder look like tom, although I’ve never seen him play but the way people talk about him
Gives me an impression that he’s a humble and hard working guy
Imo think he’ll succeed here, the calibre of team who were in for him doesn’t down play his chances to succeed at united
Welcome to united butt-ner
I’ll go for… De Gea, Valencia, Carrick, Vidic, Evra, Anderson, Cleverly, Nanni, Kagawa, Rooney, Wellbeck.
Just like I just shared with Jimmy James, I have my renty mates coming over for the match, I promised them that if RvP scores I am going to beat the shit out of them from excitement!
Jimmy James / Giggs12
Have a blast you pair of beauties…….
Red Tash
From the other thread, Mike (MikeKelly12) is away on holiday mate, that is why he has not been posting….Probably passed out on some beach as we speak
Red Tash
I’m in Adelaide, have a 4.30am kick off. Cant sleep beforehand due to nerves, cant sleep after due to either elation or depression. Have to usually take a sickie next day.
I’m already in Murkeydive in Wetherspoons near Lime Street station. Seems to be the place to meet. A few lads here already.
We could do with a nice win tonight to get the ball rolling but I’m not liking the rumour that we are starting with Carrick at centre back due to Rio’s injury.
u did just give it away there sara with ur tingling balls……idiot
3 lions
Maybe ‘sara’ is Fernado Torres the lady boy.
Just reading up on this lad Buttner? He takes penalties as well. Can play both fullback positions. Just under £4mill? Worth a gamble imo.
Red Tash
You putting me under pressure mate lol. Honestly? This is always one of our toughest away games of the season. Especially, now Rio is out and Carrick might have to play in defense. If Fellaini doesn’t make it, that will be blow for Everton. Michael will have to be disciplined. Having Vidic beside him though, will be a bonus. I just think our extra firepower will be too much for the toffees. Fancy United to nick it 2 1. Maybe even 3 1.
It still hasn’t sunk in that robin van persie is a united lad
Oofs!!! Great signing
UNITED UNITED UNITED Fucking buzzing here………
Robbo
Hopefully it will be from elation mate
Match day ritual
Fridge full of nothing but beer………..check
United scarf on the wall and United flag hanging over the balcony ……………check
Renty mates coming over for a bashing ……………check
Cedars
I’m sure it will be, I’ve got a good feeling. Hope your 2 sons get a start especially Kags.
we are so low on numbers at the back, not even 352 we can play. The starting lineup I do see of?
DDG
valencia carrick vidic evra
cleverly scholes or anderson
nani rooney kagwa
RVP
The defense really is a huge concern
WillieRedNut – I agree, it could be a fantastic signing, doubt he will play tonight, but he will play the next home game I feel.
robbo
haha just maybe mate.
talksport are claiming rio injury aint as bad as first thought and that hes back to face fulham. man i hope theyre not talkin brown
Red tash,
In Perth myself aswell mate, in Scarborough,is a bit strange gettin up in the early hours but am used to it now, mrs thinks I’m fucking mad, then straight off to work after the match so always a good day if we get a result
Some good news
http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/120820/man-united-get-ferdinand-injury-boost-179070?
Thought it was a groin?
How surprising it would be to see Berba start today? No one is expecting that
I see our annual defensive crisis started early this season.
WTF!
DreadedRed
Maybe MUTV should take a look at who they sell the rights to broadcast to a little more closely. They sold the rights to Viasat in sweden quite a few years back and they also hold the monopoly on the premier league. They dont show MUTV, they refuse to show it after being repeatedly asked claiming they dont have the channel space. 30 channels on offer here. I cant even see it online as they have blocked that too.
Fuckin wake up Uniteds top brass, its my fucking right as a United fan to see my bloody team.
Ash – berbatov is basically done with united, it is a guarantee he will not start, kagwa rooney RVP and welbeck will be chosen, and if RVP did not start, welbeck would start instead.
Well Hello Willie, Cedars Check
MG was 1st!
Well wurms and trolls to show it is game day!
Tons of goals both ways in this one. Hoping our attack will see us through.
I’d be surprised if RVP didn’t start,why wouldn’t he don’t think Utd paid 20 odd mill and paying him 250k a week to sit on the bench
Red Tash
I can understand your difficulty. Thats why I don’t like the late kick off games. And it gets more frustrating when our team play shit. I remember the wigan away and city away last season. Woke up whole night to watch our team play and they played shit. It would be great if RvP scores today.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/virals/120818/wenger-rips-van-persie-rooneys-fakebook-page-178891
Fitb
I know mate, he is gone. I am very much surprises that no team are buying him. Maybe its because of his wage demands. But I feel we are giving a bargain to other team at just 5 million pounds.
heard we’re tryin to sign some mexican midfielder who starred at the olympics as well, deals supposed to be nearly tied up.intersmesting
What is the difference between manchester city and an internet browser?
An internet browser has history
hahahaha brilliiant mate
I think kagawa will start and rvp on the bench to come around the 65th minute if needed. I dont understand how people can doubt van persie he is a quality striker. The only doubt for me is if he can go those 4 years without getting seriously injured like he did for arsenal. If he remains fit on a consistant basis for the next 4 years then he will be a hit and we will regain the league title believe lads!
Just got fantastic news. The uncle is an Everton fan along with his son and were both heading over for the match but now my cousin can’t make it and there’s a free match and plane ticket here waiting for me:-)heading off in 20mins to fly over with the uncle. Nice surprise to the start of the season for me. Only down side is I’ll be seated in the home area. Oh well I’ll have to sing even louder:-) If anyone sees one lonely fella with the 99 jersey on in the middle of the scouser you’ll know its me. Buzzin now knowing I’ll be getting to see Van Cedars debut and hopefully debut goal. United United United.
Ash – when a team is trying to get rid of a player, then the bargaining tool is very weak
goatinaunitedshirt – that’s terrible mate!
First off, you need to email mutv about that travesty. Perhaps even phone Paddy Crerand?
Else, contact him at http://www.patcrerand.co.uk/
It doesn’t help United getting big bucks without the actual transmission, because advertisers and sponsors are not getting airtime. They should have a ‘compulsory transmission’ clause inserted in the contracts. And of course you can’t join mutv direct to view over the net, because an existing clause in the broadcast contract will prevent mutv from signing up anyone in Sweden.
It really gets my goat!
Costas
Cheers pal for being ever so reliable.
Cedars
Well hope Mike is having a great time with the ladies in the beach.Hope he comes back in one peace.He will be missed at Scouseland today but im sure James and Co will be enough to outsing the Toffees
Robbo
Adelaide is ahead of Perth with about two hours so its even worse for you guys down there.Can understand taking a sickie as you said.
manc in aus
You live in Scarborough?Wow i should pay you a visit next time i come down there to the beach.I live in Bayswater.Hope you are pumped up for the game though Cheers.
this is the rumor
http://sportsvibe.co.uk/news/football/manchester-united-reportedly-close-to-sealing-move-for-mexican-midfielder-19245
wayne – RVP’s pre-season was limited, and therefore insufficient. SAF reckoned he might start him, and rely on adrenalin getting him through. It’s hard to call without knowing just how un-match-fit RVP really is.
Red Tash
Having Jimmy James there is enough to silence them
The mirror is very unreliable, they spot bollocks
Specially when it comes for us
But hopefully its true, I saw the guy in olympics
He’s indeed exciting
The scouting team having a field window.
Get hem in!!!!
united, united, united!!!!
DreadedRed you might be right mate but RVP is a top pro so i’m sure he’s fit,let’s face playing one half of a game against inferior opposition in pre-season doesn’t make anyone fit, most of the first team didn’t play a lot in pre-season ask me most are in the same boat this time of year
I flirted with him for over a year and now he is one of us……..
RVP RVP RVP RVP RVP RVP
Robin Van Cedars is in the house………Fuck yeah.
Not sure if my old heart can handle him scoring tonight ……..Anyway
UNITED UNITED UNITED
Willie
Hope you are right on that prediction.I know Everton will make us work for it but i cant see us droping points today.
I want us to be ruthless infront of goal this season.3 points alone is good but it will be better if we can also score alot more goals than last season.Who knows it could be another season where goal difference is key.Once we have a fully fit squad,i just want to see the likes of RvP,Wazza,Kagawa,Chicharito and every one else mount a serious challenge by scoring for fun.No complacency this time.Lets invoke fear in the opposition and win games before we grace the pitch.
What is the difference between liverpool and a toothpick?
A toothpick has two points.
Interesting to see our transfer market maneuver recently. I think United are up to more than ordinary target this year. Maybe double or even treble.
But anyway its time to overhaul the team already, and I’m glad we are doing it.
The thing that I’m most excited about is seeing SAF’s first XI.
Greetings all. Hope you all had a great summer.
You do know that we are just one of those team
wayne – that’s pretty much how SAF is thinking, and I’m sure he’s tempted to start him.
Not long now and we’ll know for sure!
Enjoy the game Reds, see you later …
Come on United!
My guess for the tstarting 11:
DeGea, Evra, Vida, Carrick, Valencia, Young, Cleverly, Scholes, Nani, Welbeck, Rooney
It’s match day 1!!!!! Buzzing at the start of the season. 3 points to the good!!
DDG
Valencia Carrick Vidic Evra
Cleverley Anderson
Nani Kagawa Young
Rooney
De Rossi apparently said NO to Citeh.
Miracles do happen. Viva De Rossi.
I predict
DDG, Rafa, Carrick,Vida,Evra, Anderson, Clevs, Nani,Kagawa,Rooney,Welbeck
Valencia.RVP and Scholes on the bench.
ididnotzeeit
Been buzzing all day mate, got my United flag hanging over my balcony, I keep going out and chanting United songs out loud, folk think I am bonkers…….Which I am of course when it comes to United
Tree you just BONKERS!!! That is why I have a man crush on UUUUUU!!!!!
GO TREE RVP POPPY!!
rOBIN i NEW YOUR MOM 30 YEARS AGO
Dear Scottish wonder
I extremely hope your guess will right!i don’t want us down to ten man at beginning.
I predick a zib to plunge over and over again in Kose
MUFC will fuck Everton good.
Don’t selfish put your farvourite players at starting lineup please ,if anyone watch all pre season,Tom and kagawa are most fit players at the team,so no way will put them off,sorry for my English .
Zibbie
You mad fool, I love you too, with out the crush thing though! ha ha ha
Cedars
Thats crazy!
I had the police come over after a game about a year ago. Neighbours thought I was having a fight with someone because of all the screaming.
Game was on about 2.00am during our summer, windows open I am screaming, abusing, celebrating at the television. It was the 3 -2 win over the dippers and of course Berba (my fav player) at his best. The police came after the game and understood but did request I close the windows while I watch the games.
Wife and kids are used to it, they can tell what the score was next morning by how many YEAHS and how many FUCKKKKs they get woken by during the night.
Jesus, what the fuck are you lot on about.
I’ve got a semi at the thought of seeing my beloved United tonight!
MNF baby! We are just one of those teams….
Tree go Tree go! I took the day off, have fun with your apartment mates!!!! LUV UU!!!
what a day, the first day of the Kagawa and RVP era!!!!!!!!
My team but i think did not same as sir Alex
DDG
Tony wootton vida pat
Carrick Tom
Nani wazza kagawa
Rvp
Rd5454 are you being serious mate who gives a fuck and who studies any posters line up anyway,just stands to reason if someone is into doing lineups good chance his or her ‘favourites’ will be in there
Right people this is how my situation lies,
Firstly had a new neighbour move in and he has two annoying as fuck dogs, barking like little faggots at stupid times of the morning. I have appeased this for now turning a blind eye. But mark my words that sorry old fucker will be sorry he ever moved in and as soon as the match starts he will realise that he fucked with the wrong un this time.
Fuck me he’s having it.
Come on you Reds.
Let’s smash the Scouse Bastards.
Although Everton are half decent scousers.
If there is such a thing.
Peace man.
Simon M41 if you’ve been in the boozer since early afternoon end up well pissed before the game kicks off

Great seeing you here again my fellow commander in chief
Even on match day, you still get plums.

I’m more ready than Hank Jr so pass the bourbon, cause if the South had won, we’d have it fuckin made!!
My lineup for today
DDG
Rafael-Vidic-Carrick-Evra-
TV7-Cleverley-Scholes-Ando-Nani-Young
Rooney-Kagawa
RVP-Chicha
the old 4-6-2-2 formation should accomodate all of our firepower!
VOD you ROCK!!! Vodka on the rocks with a twist of lime please.
Girlfriend was supposed to come spend the night. But my jokes about RVP and song pissed her off(she’s Arsenal) and now not showing up. At least I get to spend the night with my true love without any distractions
man utd 2-0 everton rooney;kagawa go uuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnniiiiiiitedddddddddd
Cedars- tissues for when RVP. Comes onto the pitch – check
Still laughing at the hitler van Persie video .
