Marcus Rashford leads the charge for Manchester United with 28 goals and ten assists in 47 appearances in all competitions this season, while Bruno Fernandes has accounted for ten goals and 12 dishes across 47 matches.

The Red Devils have been unstoppable at home so far this season, and I’m expecting them to extend their impressive run. The odds are not attractive, so I would take Manchester United AH -1.5 at 2.16 odds with Unibet Sportsbook. Sevilla’s defense will struggle to contain Marcus Rashford, and Los Rojiblancos lack pace in the middle of the park which is going to be an issue against this Manchester United team.
