Man United vs Roma prediction: Marcus Rashford boost enough to secure first-leg win

Manchester United welcome AS Roma to Old Trafford with a European final in their hands - they just have two games in the way of a trip to Gdansk.

The hosts are strong favourites at 4/7 with Betfred while Roma are 5/1 and a draw is 10/3.

This will be only their seventh meeting against Roma with the Red Devils having the upper-hand on head-to-head statistics with four wins over Roma's one.

United are sitting comfortably in second place in the Premier League so they do not need to chase the Europa League trophy for Champions League qualification but some silverware for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could go a long way in helping the summer transfer budget.

With Solskjaer's squad sitting 12 points ahead of fifth-place West Ham with eight games remaining in the Premier League, they can focus more on bringing some European success back to Sir Matt Busby Way.

This game could be a good one.

Tips

  • Marcus Rashford to score anytime - 5/4
  • Man United to win and both teams to score - 9/4

United have been handed a boost with Marcus Rashford returning to the squad and available for tonight's clash.

The winger has been struggling with a foot injury but appears to have put the worst behind him and will look to add to his tally in Europe.

The England international has scored eight in 10 matches in all European competitions this season and Roma's defence are not the most organised having conceded 51 goals in Serie A alone.

Him to score anytime at 5/4 is reasonable.
