MANCHESTER UNITED’S odds of relegation continue to plummet after another dire weekend result.
Not only that, the price for Ruben Amorim to remain as United boss for the start of next season is also drifting.
The 1-0 defeat to injury-stricken Tottenham was the second game running they’ve lost while failing to score in the division.
Only the bottom three and Everton have scored less goals than the Reds, made worse by Antony’s fine start on loan at Real Betis.
With Marcus Rashford looking sharp in his game time at Aston Villa too, some are beginning to question Amorim’s management style and decision-making.
They’re down in 15th place, still 12 points clear of Ipswich in 18th, who they play in the next 10 days.
Matters were made worse last week with the news that Amad – one of very, very few shining lights for United – is set to miss the rest of this season through injury.
Everything appears to be piling up on Amorim at the minute and they’re heading towards their worst ever Premier League campaign.
[boxout headline=”Relegation odds” featured-image=”33438788″ intro=”Prices from Betfair”]- Southampton – 1/500
- Leicester – 1/10
- Ipswich – 3/10
- Wolves – 9/4
- Man City – 10/1
- West Ham – 20/1
- Man Utd – 50/1
- Everton – 50/1
- Crystal Palace – 80/1
- Tottenham – 150/1
- Brentford – 300/1
- Fulham – 500/1
Surely it can’t get any worse?
Well the bookmakers have cut the odds of them to be relegated again this season and they’re now just 50/1 to go down.
Still unlikely at those odds, of course. But should their recent form continue then those odds will only continue to shorten.
That price is shorter than Crystal Palace (80/1) and the same as Everton.
Amorim has a contract until 2027 but you have to wonder if this season continues as it is whether he’d even start next season.
Betfair reckon he’ll still be there for next season, making his price to start the 2025/26 Premier league season as United boss at 1/5.
It’s then 10/3 that he’ll leave his post before next season gets up and running.
