Man Utd Premier League title odds slashed by Sky Bet after Jose Mourinho appointment
Sky Bet expect Jose Mourinho to have a major impact at Manchester United
Sky Bet have slashed Manchester United's Premier League title odds following the appointment of Jose Mourinho.
The arrival of the former Chelsea manager is deemed to have significantly boosted United's chances of securing silverware next season, with their title odds cut from 8/1 to 11/2, while they are now odds-on (from 11/10) for a top-four finish.

The shift sees United considered third favourites to be crowned champions behind Manchester City (13/8) and Chelsea (5/1), with their price shorter than Arsenal (6/1), Tottenham (7/1), Liverpool (8/1) and Leicester (25/1).
The 'Special One' won the Premier League and the League Cup in both of his first full campaigns at Stamford Bridge and is 28/1 to repeat that feat next season at Old Trafford, while his new side have been trimmed from 11/1 to 10/1 to win the Europa League.

Sky Bet's Dale Tempest said: "Some might see it as an overreaction to cut United's odds so much but we're not willing to underestimate the impact of a man who has secured silverware everywhere he has gone since Porto handed him a chance.
