00:00Manchester United, a club that once ruled English football. The theatre of dreams, home to legends,

00:21trophies and unforgettable nights in Europe. But today the numbers paint a very different picture.

00:27According to Opta's supercomputer, Manchester United are now more likely to be relegated than to

00:35qualify for the Champions League. The Red Devils' start to the 2025-2026 season has

00:42been nothing short of disastrous. Four Premier League games in, just one win, an embarrassing

00:49early exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town and now a humiliating

00:563-0 thrashing in the Manchester derby against City.

01:02And the numbers are damning. Opta's supercomputer has crunched the data, calculating where United

01:09are most likely to finish this season. The results? A chilling reality check. Just a 4.18% chance

01:20of Champions League qualification. But a 10.95% chance of relegation. That's more than double.

01:32If these probabilities hold true, United are expected to finish around 13th place in the

01:38Premier League table this season, which would only be a minor improvement on last season's

01:4415th place finish. For a club of Manchester United's history, that's nothing short of a nightmare.

01:54At the centre of the storm is manager Ruben Amorim. His reign has been rocky and the numbers don't lie.

02:01With a win rate of just 26%, Amorim now has the third lowest record of any Manchester United manager

02:11to take charge of more than 20 games. The fans want answers. The critics want change.

02:18But Amorim? He refuses to abandon his philosophy. After the Manchester derby defeat, Amorim said,

02:26I accept it's not a record you should have at Manchester United. But I am not going to change my philosophy.

02:33I play my way. And I am going to play my way.

02:37While United stumble, their rivals surge. Liverpool are favourites to defend their Premier League title

02:44with a 51.12% chance of being crowned champions again. Arsenal aren't far behind at 26.74%.

02:53Outside the top four, it's Crystal Palace. Yes, Palace, who are now more likely than ever to qualify for the

03:03Champions League with 23.66% chance, ahead of Newcastle at 23.16%.

03:13And at the bottom, the supercomputer has bad news for three clubs. Burnley with 52.23% chance of

03:20relegation. Wolves with 50.76% and Sunderland at 46.02%.

03:28Manchester United's 10.95% may not be as high. But for a club of this stature,

03:35even being in the same conversation is alarming. So what happens next? For now, all eyes remain on Amorim.

03:43Will his philosophy finally deliver results? Or will Manchester United's nightmare continue?

03:52The theatre of dreams has become a stage of anxiety, from European glory nights to the looming shadow of

03:58relegation. This is not the Manchester United of old. And unless something changes soon,

04:04the club's proud history may find itself buried under the weight of its own present struggles.
