Odds on Philippe Coutinho quitting Barcelona for Man Utd in January slashed from 10/1 to just 2/1
Brazilian ace's frustration has grown at the Nou Camp after failing to establish himself in the starting XI
PHILIPPE COUTINHO'S odds of a sensational January move to Manchester United have been slashed by the bookies.
Bookmakers have cut his price from 10/1 to just 2/1 after reports emerged of the Red Devils opening talks with Barcelona.
The Brazilian has failed to nail down a place in Barcelona's starting XI amid frustrations following his move to the Nou Camp.
The bookies have recieved a flurry of bets on this market, with 85 per cent of all punters backing Coutinho to end up at Old Trafford.
Not including staying at Barcelona, United are clear favourites to acquire his services ahead the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Napoli.
The 26-year-old has been used as a second-half substitute in Barcelona's last three victories.
Philippe Coutinho club after January transfer window
Manchester United 2/1
Liverpool 6/1
PSG 6/1
Napoli 8/1
Man City 8/1
Chelsea 16/1
Tottenham 16/1
Bayern Munich 16/1
spokesperson George Elek: “Not many players have featured for Liverpool and Manchester United.
“If Coutinho did make the switch, he would follow in the footsteps of Michael Owen and Paul Ince to appear on both sides of the divide.
“With the multitude of bets placed on the move, this is definitely one to watch out for throughout the transfer window.”
