City odds-on to repeat top spot

MAGNIFICENT City are 8/13 at Betfred to win the Premier League title NEXT season.

I paid out early to the tune of £800,000 before Christmas on them becoming champions… and for once got it right!

How Jose Mourinho and his baffling bunch of inconsistent players could have handed the title over to the Blues I will never fathom out.

He might blame his own players for over-complicating matters, but for me the manager must shoulder much of the blame for not starting with an attacking team with both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial on the bench.

For United to lose at home against bottom club West Brom is frankly embarrassing – and a clear-out looms this summer if the Reds are to get anywhere near the Blues next season.

Betfred have City odds on at 8/13 to do it all again and retain the title in 2019 with United and Liverpool both 6/1 to be champions next season. Chelsea are 10/1 with Tottenham 12/1 and Arsenal 25/1.

Guardiola’s expensively assembled young players will only get better – and that’s why City are 100/1 from 200/1 last month to win the unprecedented Quad in 2019.

Meanwhile Paul Pogba, who was substituted at Old Trafford against West Brom, is 8/1 at Betfred that PSG will be his next club.

They are favourites to sign the Reds’ £89m record signing, who has had an indifferent season under Mourinho.

The French superstar midfielder is 20/1 at Betfred to make a sensational headline-grabbing move to the Etihad, while Real Madrid are 9/1 to land him next.
