After Manchester United’s shambolic 6-1 battering at the hands of their former manager Jose Mourinho and his Tottenham Hotspur side on Sunday, and the failure to land top transfer target Jadon Sancho and a new central defender on deadline day on Monday, Paddy’s football traders have been weighing up how bad things could get at the Theatre Of Nightmares this season.

United have a tricky-looking Champions League group and if you fancy them to finish bottom of it Paddy’s traders have drawn up a price for that and for them to fail to win a single game in this year’s competition.
Alex Telles signed with Cavani on deadline day and he’s at 14s to move to Italy while it’s long odds that Cavani will be a complete flop and fail to score or assist this season.
