Man Utd to find FA Cup scoring boots against Derby County

Such history could be just the spark needed to ignite the Old Trafford outfit’s attack, with Van Gaal’s guys rated 4/1 to score three or more.

Derby dangers not without merit

The Rams threat is still significant, though their form has dropped slightly since going on an undefeated run from the end of November to December.

Still, at Pride Park, the hosts can prove prickly for anyone and memorably forced one draw and one victory in two of their past three frays with Man Utd on home turf. So, if you fancy a dark horse or, erm, Ram, Clement and co are 3/1 for a shock win.

Preparing to lead the charge for Derby will likely be dangerman Tom Ince, whose father Paul (pictured below) was famously once a Red Devil, and potent marksman Chris Martin, with both intriguing 15/8 punts in the anytime market.

Rooney to rage against Rams? Or young-guns to run riot?

Man Utd skipper Wayne Rooney has shrugged off criticism this campaign and resumed his race to beat Sir Bobby Charlton’s top scorer record. The England captain has struck five in five, and Van Gaal must bring out his big-guns here, so backing Rooney at 5/1 to open the scoring looks smart.

While, much talk has centered around relying on more of the Premier League giants’ young-guns, with France forward Anthony Martial (5/1 to have the final say), academy product Jesse Lingard (2/1 to notch anytime), attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira (7/2) and recently returned playmaker Adnan Januzaj (7/2) all more than capable of producing moments of magic.
