It turns out Sky Bet has lowered Manchester United's odds to just 500/1 (bet 1 to win 500, excluding stake), matching 14 other teams not among the Premier League title contenders for 2025-26, following their 1-2 loss to Aston Villa and the injury to Bruno Fernandes, who is expected to be sidelined for several months.
