Manchester United have been solid this season, despite their ups and downs. When Tannhäuser was fired last October, fans thought it would be a shot in the arm, but after Rubin Emolian took over, the team's situation didn't seem to improve significantly. In their last six league games, United have suffered five defeats and are mired in the relegation quagmire. However, Opta's supercomputer analysis shows that the likelihood of United being relegated this season is only 0.15%, so fans should not be too worried.
Opta conducted 10,000 simulations of the Premier League using a supercomputer and the results showed that only 15 simulations saw Manchester United suffer relegation. This data takes into account a number of factors such as team performance, form, strength, opponents and fixtures in an effort to restore the real environment. Meanwhile, Westham, who are also in the relegation zone, have a 0.82% chance of being relegated this season.
Currently, Manchester United are 14th in the league with 22 points, seven points away from the relegation zone. Despite the fact that teams such as Southampton and Leicester City are regarded as the favorites to be relegated, the road to relegation for Manchester United does not seem to be smooth. Rubin Emolian, while not denying the possibility of relegation, said frankly: "There is indeed such a possibility, I have to be honest with the fans, this is perhaps one of the toughest moments in the history of Manchester United."
