Manchester United travel to Romanian side CFR Cluj in the Champions League on Tuesday, as Bet365 announce a free bets offer and report plenty of optimistic punters are lumping on the away win at odds of 4/1, which may be a touch of value for some.
The Champions League heads into its second round of fixtures this week, as many may look to this game as one that United should be taking comfortably, but Cluj are certainly not there to make up the numbers, and this is something of unknown territory for Alex Ferguson’s men, who having never faced the Romainian side before.
They won 2-0 and were very impressive at Sporting Braga in the opening match and currently sit on top of Group H at this early stage.

The Red Devils were also victorious against Galatasaray at Old Trafford, but were nowhere near their best that evening and were thankful for their opponents wasting chances.
All of this makes for a great encounter between these two teams, but Sir Alex Ferguson will know that if his men are at on top of their game, they should have enough to take all three points.
However, confidence in the United camp is not too high at the moment after a 3-2 defeat on home soil to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.
They also feel as though there is a point from them to prove in this competition after crashing out in the group stages last year.
One thing Ferguson is an expert in though is making his side bounce back from a defeat and grinding out a result in the next match.
If Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney both start and are in good form, then the away team will have a great chance of victory.
Cluj on the other hand come into this one on the back of 5-1 victory over the weekend so in contrast to their opponents, they should be full of confidence.
This will be one of the biggest games in the Romanian Champions’ history and the atmosphere is sure to be electric. If they can take another result, then they will feel as though there is a great chance of qualification.
All the action gets underway from 7.45PM.
