Man Utd’s relegation prospects looks alarmingly real – Jim Ratcliffe has done the impossible by making Red Devils worse

COULD Manchester United actually be relegated?. It is a question which was previously unthinkable throughout the Premier League era. But it's a prospect first raised by manager Ruben Amorim after last week’s defeat at Wolves. And one which suddenly looks alarmingly real after the first-half horror show which brought a fourth straight loss, against Newcastle United.

Could Old Trafford really be hosting Wycombe Wanderers in league football next season? Might United really be contesting derbies with Stockport County?. Perhaps a cross-border tussle with Wrexham, who arguably possess more Hollywood quality than the boys from the crumbling Theatre of Dreams?.

The fact that the bookies are still quoting odds as long as 28-1 on United plunging into the Championship - and super-computers make it a one in 500 chance - should tell us all we need to know. Even during a disastrous first half of the season, United have mustered 22 points.

Last season, Nottingham Forest stayed up with 32, although a more typical safety figure is somewhere between 34 and 36. Luckily for United, talk of needing 40 points, or even 38, is old hat.

United don’t score many goals - just 21 this league season, fewer than Leicester. They have lost their last three games by a 7-0 aggregate. KOBBIE MAINOO'S performance was the only silver lining as Manchester United suffered a fourth consecutive defeat.
