Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are odds-on across the board and no bigger than 3-4 with Marcelo Bielsa's Whites on offer at 19-5.

Even the draw can be backed at 17-5 and the first scorer market speaks volumes about the opinion of the bookmakers with six Red Devils players all more prominent in the market than United top scorer Bamford.

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes actually heads the market at 23-5 to score first and 5-4 any time with Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford both 5-1 to score first and 13-10 any time.

But even then Odion Ighalo (29-5), Anthony Martial (31-5) and Mason Greenwood (13-2) are next in the netting before Bamford who is 33-5 to score first and 9-5 any time.

United's Rodrigo is next and 11s to score first with five players on 12s in Leeds' Tyler Roberts and Raphinha plus the home side's Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata and Dan James.

From a Leeds point of view, even bigger prices are on offer about the likes of Pablo Hernandez (14s), Mateisz Klich (14s) and Jack Harrison (17s) scoring first with the home side's Paul Pogba 14s.

Unsurprisingly, both teams to score is very short at 4-7 but with a 2-1 triumph to the hosts the favourite in the correct score market at 43-5 the the bookies are expecting a home victory.

Just like they were in 2010.
