United In this season, they have suffered 9 defeats in the Premier League and have lost in their last four games in all competitions.

Just seven points separate them and the bottom three, with rivals Liverpool 23 ahead of them.

The prospect of relegation, despite how unlikely it is for a club of United’s stature, has slowly become a topic of discussion over the past week.

History suggests that their current Premier League status could see them drop 13 winners this season.

Four teams in the history of England’s top flight, who entered the new year in 14th place in the table, have since been relegated.

Newcastle were the first to do so in the 2008/09 season before Burnley followed suit a year later.

Norwich suffered the same fate in 2013/14 and Leeds were the last club to be relegated in 2023.

United can therefore be eyeing Championship football next season, although they still have 19 games to go.

This is the situation that the head coach of the team Amorim As he told talkSPORT: “I’m really worried.

“If you look at the league, it’s really tough, every team has the potential to win games, so we have to be honest with our fans.

And especially with our players, we will fight for our lives and we must continue.”

He added: It is a very difficult moment. One of the most difficult moments, in my opinion, in the history of Manchester United. And we lost again at home. So this is a fact.

And you have to keep believing and working. This is the only way to progress.”

“I think it’s a fact and it’s true (that it’s not working),” Amorim said when asked if his system of play favoring a back three was working.

“But I can’t change my mind in a day because they will lose a lot more now.

“So I try to do what I try to do. I adjust for each game, the positioning, the way you press.

“I’m trying to deal with all that without training. So it’s really hard for them. But I’ll keep the idea that I want to play a certain way until the end, because I think if I change everything now, We’re going to lose everything.”

United conceded the first goal of the night just four minutes into the game when Aleksandar Isak’s header was cleared unmarked.

Jolinton scored Newcastle’s second goal in the 19th minute to further excite the home crowd at Old Trafford.

Club legend Gary Neville called it “brutal” before the whistle blew at the end of the first half following a disappointing performance.

It looks to be a trying few months for United, who have ended 2024 with a whimper.
