Manchester United predictions 2024-25 season

As Manchester United gear up for the 2024/25 season, The Red Devils are looking to build on the progress they’ve made under Erik ten Hag.

Last season saw United lift the FA Cup, defeating rivals Manchester City in the final, and secure a position in the Europa League, giving them the opportunity to lift more silverware this season.

We take a closer look at Manchester United’s chances in the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League.

Premier League – 22/1

Manchester United are 22/1 to win the Premier League, a price that reflects both the competitiveness of the league and the work still needed to reach the heights of teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. United’s campaign will depend heavily on the form of key players like Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and new signings who can provide depth and quality. While they’re not among the favourites, a strong start could see them emerge as dark horses in the title race.

However, consistency has been a challenge for United in recent years. To have any chance of claiming their first Premier League title since 2013, they’ll need to turn Old Trafford into a fortress and pick up points against their top-six rivals. If United can maintain momentum and avoid their concerning recurring injuries to key players, they could surprise many.

That said, they haven’t got off to a good start as new signing Leny Yoro has already been ruled out with a broken foot. Likewise, Rasmus Højlund has been forced to the sidelines with an injury.

FA Cup – 10/1

Having won the FA Cup last season, Manchester United are 10/1 to retain the trophy. The FA Cup holds a special place in United’s history, and last season’s triumph will give them confidence going into this year’s competition. The key to success will be how seriously Erik ten Hag takes the competition, with fixture congestion always a concern.

Given their recent success, United are among the leading contenders, but they will face stiff competition from the likes of Manchester City (3/1) and Arsenal (6/1). If Ten Hag can balance his squad rotation effectively, United could be well-positioned to lift the trophy again.

League Cup – 12/1

Manchester United are priced at 12/1 to win the League Cup, a competition they’ve historically done well in. The League Cup offers an early opportunity to secure silverware, and it’s often a chance for clubs to give younger players and squad members more game time. However, with a deep squad and a manager who values a winning mentality, United could push hard for this trophy.

Their success will depend on how much priority Ten Hag places on the competition. If he fields strong line-ups in the latter stages, United have every chance of going all the way, much like they did in 2023 when beating Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley.

Europa League – Likely contenders

While the odds for the Europa League aren’t available yet, Manchester United will undoubtedly be one of the favourites. United have a rich history in Europe’s second-tier competition, having won it in 2017 and reaching the final in 2021. With the quality in their squad, they’ll be confident of making another deep run in the lesser European tournament compared to the Champions League.

The key to success in the Europa League will be how well they manage the balance between domestic and European commitments. If United find themselves in the latter stages of the competition, they’ll be among the strongest teams and could add another European trophy to their cabinet, so it will be interesting to see what manager Ten Hag does in terms of team selection later in the season.
