England U-21 Starlet Can Impress At Top Level

This 6ft 4in 19-year-old looked the business in the Championship scoring 26 times for Bristol City. A big future awaits.

Pundits and fans alike have a tendency to read too much into the first game of the football season. Man Utd are suddenly seen as world beaters but we shouldn’t forget they won their opening three fixtures last year only to finish 6th.

The slightly bigger picture is that the Red Devils haven’t won any of their last four away matches in the top flight while Swansea have won three on the bounce at the Liberty Stadium and are unbeaten in six overall.

But most are struggling to see how the Welsh club cope without Sigurdsson, and Llorente in the short term. One ray of light is Tammy Abraham - a best price 4/1 shot to score anytime here with Betfred.

The Chelsea loanee struck 26 times in all competitions in the Championship last season for Bristol City. Some performance for a teenager!

In a couple of moments last week he showed he isn’t daunted by the step up to this level and United should fear the confidence of youth on Saturday.
