MANCHESTER UNITED are tipped for their worst-ever Premier League finish this season, according to a supercomputer. The Red Devils ended the 2023-24 campaign in eighth under Erik ten Hag, their lowest final position since the league's formation in 1992-93.

But they spent Christmas Day in the bottom half of the table for the first time in the Premier League this year. And their Boxing Day defeat at Wolves only heaped more misery on everyone connected with the club. Now, Opta's number-crunching machine has given its predictions for the rest of the season.

And it does not make pretty reading for United. That is because Opta believe the Red Devils are most likely to finish all the way down in 12th. According to the figures, their chances of ending up in 12th are 13.7 per cent. Then it is 13.3 per cent for 13th, 13.1 per cent for 11th and 11.2 per cent to sneak into the top half in tenth.
Ruben Amorim's side are just about as likely to be ninth (9.6 per cent) or 14th (9.7 per cent) after 38 matches. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. And most worryingly, the struggling fallen giants have a greater chance of getting relegated - 0.1 per cent to finish 18th - than winning the title or finishing second, 0.0 per cent.
United currently sit 14th in the table with just 22 points from their 18 Premier League matches - with six wins, four draws, eight defeats and a goal difference of -3. Their nightmare week was compounded at Wolves as they lost their third match in a row.
