United's chances of reaching the Champions League semis are rated 50-50 by the bookies, with the Reds and Porto going into Wednesday's quarter-final second leg at 5/6 to qualify.
Sir Alex's men could still go through with a draw - a 3-3 stalemate after 90 minutes, priced 66/1, would book a last four spot. Realistically, victory is the aim, and United are priced at 11/10 to achieve it in the Estadio do Dragao.Extra time can only be forced by a 2-2 draw, which is a 14/1 chance. United are 33/1 and Porto 50/1 to go through in extra time, both sides are 50/1 to advance via penalties.Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are 9/2 joint favourites to score first, while Carlos Tevez, who, like Rooney, netted in last week’s 2-2 draw at OT, is 11/2 along with Dimitar Berbatov.Kiko Macheda struck winners in United’s last two Premier League matches, and the young Italian is 13/2 to be last scorer, and 12/1 to score the game's deciding goal. And if United do get through, the current 4/1 odds to retain the trophy are certain to shorten, so it's well worth a punt at that price.More bets: www.manutd.com/bet
