Prediction: 2-0
Leicester City
Manchester United play host to Leicester City at their Old Trafford in the opening match of the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign. The Red Devils failed to win the title last season and, no doubt, they are determined to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign. Jose Mourinho did not make too many changes to the squad in the summer transfer window and, no doubt, the Portuguese tactician has faith in his players. The Foxes head into Friday’s football match following a 2-1 win over Lille in their last warm-up game, but seeing that the Red Devils are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. You should bear in mind that Manchester United emerged triumphant in seven of their last eight home games in the English top flight.
Highlighted Player (Paul Pogba):
After spending four seasons at Juventus, Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2016. The French midfielder signed a five-year deal with the Premier League giants for a world-record fee of €105 million. He set an all-time record for highest football transfer fee, surpassing Gareth Bale, the former record holder. However, he missed the 2016/2017 Premier League opener against Bournemouth through suspension.
Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France on 15 March, 1993 and he represents les Tricolores on the international stage. He won the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup with France, while making it to the Euro 2016 final with Didier Deschamps’ troops. However, they were beaten by Portugal in the title game at Stade de France.
It has to be noted that Paul Pogba won four Serie A trophies with Juventus. He produced a fine display in the 2013/2014 Champions League final against Barcelona, but Juve suffered a 3-1 loss to Barca in the Olympiastadion Berlin clash. Pogba is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as an attacking and a defensive midfielder as well.
