Muller 2-1 to make United switch

MANCHESTER UNITED suffered a double transfer blow yesterday when their top targets Pedro and Nicolas Otamendi signed for their chief Premier League rivals, writes Ian Wilkerson.

But their fans have been heading to Betfred to get prices on Louis van Gaal making a top signing before the closure of the transfer window.

Barcelona forward Pedro completed a move to Chelsea yesterday just hours after Valencia defender Otamendi signed for Manchester City for £28m.

Betfred offer 2-1 that Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller will be heading to Old Trafford this month while Tottenham’s Harry Kane is 7-2 to complete a move to the Red Devils.

Gareth Bale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are 5-1.

Ladbrokes go 5-4 that Pedro scores more than eight Premier League goals for Chelsea this season and 11-10 that he finds the net in any league or cup game against United.

Aston Villa midfielder Leandro Bacuna has committed his future to the Midlands club by signing a five-year contract.

He has scored six goals in 66 appearances for the Villa Park outfit.

QPR have completed the signing of Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies.
