And that’s exactly what one genius punter put together to scoop an astonishing £25,000 in winnings.
The £5 stake included eight legs of a #YourOdds selection, which kicked off in sublime fashion.
Amongst the selections was a Casemiro yellow card – which landed inside three minutes – and goals for Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, who both scored before the 22nd minute.
A Lisandro Martinez booking was needed and landed three minutes into the second period and the bet was already halfway complete.
United playmaker Bruno Fernandes was backed to score or assist in the game and he was the provider for Scott McTominay who extended United’s lead on 75 minutes.
Matheus Cunha was backed for a shot on target which came in and he was also selected to pick up a card – which he obliged with in the 89th minute.

That only left a Pedro Neto goal anytime and the Portuguese forward’s 95th minute equaliser sent Molineux wild, as well as the winning bettor.
More drama followed when Kobbie Mainoo scored minutes later to secure a dramatic win for United but the punter was already celebrating their whopping success by then.
And there was more to celebrate too, with the 2500/1 odds of this bet boosted, meaning a cool 5000/1 price and £25,006.25 returns.
Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, said: “It won’t just be Manchester United fans who will be celebrating their berserk 4-3 victory over Wolves last night, with one William Hill customer netting over £25,000 from his £5 bet builder.
“The bet got off to a flyer with both Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund netting in the opening 22 minutes, but the punter had to wait until the 95th minute of the match to land his payout when Pedro Neto seemingly scored the game’s equaliser for the hosts.
“If that wasn’t enough for the lucky customer, his original odds of 2500/1 were boosted to a colossal 5000/1 via William Hill’s Build #YourOdds function, resulting in a total payout of £25,006.25.”
