David Moyes may have signed Juan Mata; Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie may be fit again; and they might have beaten Cardiff on Tuesday, but Betfair still thinks it is too little too late for that and retaining the league title is just a distant dream.

That is why anyone who placed a bet on United to win the title on our Sportsbook will be receiving a refund, a payout of around £100,000.



But for anyone that does think United can achieve the impossible, our Sportsbook is now offering an industry stand-out 70/1 for them to finish top of the table in May.

It would not be the first time the Red Devils have overcome such odds of course - an injury-time goal in the 1999 Champions League final saw them win the famous treble against all odds.



Betfair's Sports Operations Director, Nick Hagen, said: "After Fergie retired, many United fans were left ruing their 2013/14 Title winning bets.

"We've decided to refund those stakes and offer an industry best price of 70/1 on them to win the title this season. Even with the renewed optimism from the arrival of Juan Mata and the victory over Cardiff our traders simply can't see it happening."
