Nigel Clough will hope that lightning can strike twice
The new Derby boss needs another heroic draw with United
David Lowe may have assured that he will go down as the best “manager that never was” in Derby’s history by masterminding victory over Manchester United in his only game as caretaker but Manchester United remain favourites to win this year’s Carling Cup.
Don’t buy an excuse-making by United fans about how they only lost because they don’t care about the Carling Cup and fielded a weak team - seven of the players on show last night featured in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side’s 4-1 home win over the Rams last season.
However, the common consensus seems to be that Manchester United will put things right in the second leg and the best price you will find on them winning the competition is 4/5 with Bet365.
