Everton v Man Utd top 5 bets – Rooney to guide United to win

Manchester United go to Goodison Park this Monday evening to take on Everton in their Premier League opener.

Robin van Persie will make his United debut this Monday night, as will Shinji Kagawa. Everton will also hand a debut to Steven Naismith, and will be hoping that striker Nikica Jelavic can pick up where he left off last season.

Here are the top 5 best for Everton v Man Utd:

1) Man Utd to beat Everton @ 10/11 with Betfred

If the signing of Van Persie doesn’t buoy Manchester United’s players then serious questions should be asked. The capture of the Dutchman is a huge morale booster for both the players and the fans, representing a real signal of intent. They don’t have the best of records at Goodison Park, but odds of 10/11 on Sir Alex Ferguson’s side represent great value.

2) Man Utd to lead at half-time @ 13/8 with Betfred

Manchester United had by far the most impressive record in the opening 45 minutes of games last season. Ferguson’s men led at half-time in 24 of their 38 games, and were only behind at the interval on five occasions.

3) Wayne Rooney to score anytime @ 11/8 with Coral

Van Persie may have stolen all of the headlines this summer but Wayne Rooney remains United’s main man. He’ll still be on the penalties and he’ll still be the first to have a look at set pieces. The Englishman has scored 14 goals in his last 14 appearances and can add to that tally here.

4) Nikica Jelavic to score anytime @ 13/5 with Paddy Power

Nikica Jelavic was Everton’s top scorer last season, despite only playing his first game for the club in February after joining from Rangers in the winter transfer window. A brace against United at Old Trafford showed that he is no flat-track bully and it’s worth backing him here at 13/5 with Paddy Power.

5) Over 2.5 goals @ Evens with Bet365

In Rooney, Van Persie and Jelavic there will be three genuine, out-and-out goalscorers on the pitch this Monday night. That should equate to goals. Four of the last six meetings between the two teams have finished with more than 2.5 goals, making Evens an appealing bet here.
