SURELY, surely things can’t get any worse for Manchester United than they were this year?
In the immortal words of Mick McCarthy. It can!
Ruben Amorim is the man to take United forward it seems – but he has a job on his handsGettyThe dismal performance and result in Wednesday’s Europa League final means a summer of uncertainty ahead and no European football next year.
In truth, a win would’ve papered over the gaping cracks at Old Trafford – on and off the park – but it would’ve allowed Ruben Amorim a chance to build a squad he wants.
He admitted after the game he’d leave without compensation if the club wanted him to but he’s since been given the backing of the hierarchy.
However, now they’re looking at a mass exodus of their top talents and a summer of transition, which will be difficult to do when building on the worst Manchester United side in history.
Reports they could lose Bruno Fernandes would be the final nail in the coffin, given he’s looked the only competent player on a reasonably consistent basis this term.
As such, the bookmakers have responded and make Manchester United just 16/1 for relegation from the Premier League next season.
Those odds sound terrible for United fans – and they are – but they’re actually bigger than the likes of Brentford (5/1), Bournemouth (8/1), Brighton (10/1) and Nottingham Forest (12/1) with bet365.
Premier League relegation odds
Odds from bet365
Burnley 2/5 Leeds 8/11 Wolves 10/3 Fulham 5/1 Brentford 5/1 Crystal Palace 11/2 Everton 7/1 West Ham 7/1 Bournemouth 8/1 Brighton 10/1 Nottm Forest 12/1 Man Utd 16/1 Man City 20/1 Tottenham 40/1 Chelsea 100/1 Aston Villa 150/1 Newcastle 200/1 Arsenal 1000/1 Liverpool 1000/1Rivals Manchester City are only slightly bigger at 20/1, though that’s to do with their continued legal battles.
Incredibly, the 16/1 to be relegated odds for United are dwarfed massively by the odds to win the league – at 66/1!
And they’re also their biggest odds EVER before a league ball has been kicked to end the season in the top four, priced up at a big 5/1.
bet365’s Steve Freeth said: “There was always going to be one loser from the high-stakes game. “For a club like Manchester United the consequences could be catastrophic. “Transfer targets earmarked if they had gained Champions League qualification are likely to be discarded as the Red Devils may need to look further down their list of targets and possibly need to sell. “Although they are 16/1 and not among the favourites to be relegated, there could be a knock-on effect. The losing mentality from their Premier League campaign at the end of this season, combined with this chastening defeat, may be hard to shift for a while.”
