Everyone who isn't a Manchester United fan was delighted that the MK Dons thrashed Louis Van Gaal's men 4-0 in the Capitol One Cup last night, but few will be as delighted as lucky punter Hollie Smith, who intended to use her £2.50 free bet to back United to win 4-0, but instead selected the Dons @500/1.

Incredible. The fact that it was a free bet, placed on the wrong team, and it came through... We suggest Hollie plays the Euro Millions this week.
Paddy Power have confirmed that Hollie wasn't the only one to make a nice profit on MK Dons, although we doubt the rest were as lucky as she was.
14 people backed MK Dons to win 4-0 at a whopping 500/1. Shrewdies.
