MO SALAH’s odds on winning the Ballon d’Or have been slashed by bookmakers Coral.
The Liverpool ace continued his mercurial form at Old Trafford as he scored a hat-trick after 50 minutes in the commanding 5-0 win.
1Mo Salah has gone up another level this season
Salah has been branded the greatest player in the world having scored 15 goals in 12 games this season for Liverpool.
Coral have slashed the odds on Mohamed Salah winning the Ballon d’Or to 10/1 from 25/1.
That now makes Salah the fourth favourite in the market.
Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead said: “Salah’s stunning form can’t go unnoticed in the Ballon d’Or voting and we have significantly slashed his odds after the weekend, making him now the fourth favourite to win the coveted award.”
The Argentine leads Robert Lewandowski (5/2) and Champions League and Euro 2020 winner Jorginho (15/2).
Lewandowski appeared to be the obvious choice to scoop last year’s award after bagging 32 Bundesliga goals in 26 games and 55 in all competitions, helping the team win the treble.
But after last year’s award ceremony was cancelled, Lewandowski went on to score 41 goals in 34 league matches, as he broke Gerd Muller’s single-season record in the German top flight, as Bayern bagged another title last term.
