Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score first and Man Utd beat Hull

Manchester United take on Hull City in the first leg of an EFL Cup semi-final on Tuesday, January 10, and it is from this fascinating match-up that we’ve selected our latest bet of the day dabble.

We’ve singled out superb combined odds of 14/5 for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score first and Man Utd beat Hull. Read on to see why we reckon the Swede can lead United to success at Old Trafford on Tuesday night…

Ibra to net opener in Red Devils triumph

Jose Mourinho more often than not takes all tournaments seriously, so is expected to start a strong line-up as his Red Devils host Hull, with the tantalising prospect of an EFL Cup final on the horizon.

This means leading scorer for the season so far Ibrahimovic should be restored to the XI at Old Trafford, having been rested against Reading.

There may be question marks over who else stars up front, from record-chasing Wayne Rooney, youngsters Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, or in-form Henrikh Mkhitaryan but Mourinho confirmed fans should expect to see Ibra.
