Bet of the day: Rooney to bag FA Cup brace or more over Derby

Coral’s bet of the day

• Wayne Rooney has five goals in as many games
• Manchester United overcame Sheffield United in third round
• Rooney bagged brace against Newcastle United recently

Rooney 7/1 to net two or more

The FA Cup fourth round takes centre stage this weekend and it’s from this latest weekend action that Coral’s bet of the day comes from, with Wayne Rooney 7/1 to net two or more for Manchester United against Derby County.

Louis van Gaal’s Red Devils overcame League One outfit Sheffield United 1-0 in their previous third round clash thanks to a late penalty from in-form marksman Rooney, and he will be gunning for further goal scoring success at Pride Park.

The visitors have their sights set on a first FA Cup triumph in over a decade, with Dutchman Van Gaal seeking some silverware success to show for his testing time at Old Trafford, and Derby is a good place to start for his side.

Rampant Rooney can inspire again

Rooney, who became England’s all-time leading goal scorer last year by overtaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s previous record, had faced criticism before for his poor return, but he has ended that swiftly with a surge in form.
