With polar opposite form, there should be little doubt that Jose Mourinho's men will get the job done against Celta Vigo at Old Trafford on Thursday evening, but at odds of just 1/2 its hard to justify backing. Likewise, the handicap win could well land, but with United already ahead in the tie, it's hard to see the Portuguese asking his side to take any great risks.

Instead, it could be worth taking William Hills 13/2 about the match ending up 1-0 to the hosts - Mourinho is bound to send out strict instructions to keep things tight, and there is every chance that they would be prepared to pass out the final 20-30 minutes if they get their noses in front on the night. Celta have also failed to score in 4 of their last 5.
One man who could have a difficult night is Hugo Mallo at right-back for the visitors. He struggled in the first leg, and found his way into the referee's notebook, and he could well repeat that feat when facing both Jesse Lindgard and Marcus Rashford.
With bookings in five of his last eight maches, and against a referee who has shown 132 cards in 28 matches this season (plus nine red cards) we could see the frustrated Celta player booked again. He's 6/4 with Betfar.
United to win 1-0 at 13/2
Hugo Mallo to be carded at 6/4
