A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted the outcome of the Europa League – and it doesn’t look good for Manchester United.
The Red Devils have endured a miserable season so far.
They currently sit 15th in the Premier League table with just 29 points from 25 games.
And their hopes of a trophy are now pinned on the FA Cup and the Europa League.
Ruben Amorim and Co have been handed a difficult last-16 draw in Europe’s second-tier competition.
United will face La Liga side Real Sociedad for a place in the quarter-finals.
However, a supercomputer from Slingo predicts they will suffer a 5-3 defeat on aggregate.
The algorithm – which has given Man Utd an 11 per cent chance of winning the competition – suggests Amorim’s side will lose 3-2 away from home and 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are predicted to win their last-16 meeting with AZ Alkmaar 2-0 on aggregate.
Spurs are then tipped to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.
The supercomputer has predicted a thrilling affair between the two teams, with Spurs ultimately winning 5-4 after two legs.
Ange Postecoglou and Co are then expected to face Lazio in the semi-finals.

However, that is where the Europa League journey will come to an unfortunate end for Spurs.
According to the supercomputer, Tottenham will lose 2-1 to Athletic Bilbao in the Spain final.
It would mean Bilbao would win the title in their own city – at San Mames Stadium.
The teams expected to miss out on the final are Lazio and Real Sociedad.
Lyon, Fenerbahce, Olympiacos, Rangers, Roma, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen and FCSB are also set to fall short of Europa League glory.
