Manchester United's fortunes in the Premier League for the remainder of the season aren't set to get any easier, according to results via an AI supercomputer.

Following Sunday's disappointing defeat at Tottenham, Ruben Amorim's men find themselves 15th in the table, 12 points above the relegation zone.

It is the latest of a string of disappointing results this term after Crystal Palace, Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth all took three points off them. United are on course for their worst-ever season in the Premier League, which is currently last season's eighth finish, and are just two defeats away from matching last season's total of 14.

Unfortunately, things are not set to get much better for Amorim between now and the end of the season. According to OPTA's AI supercomputer, United's highest hope of a finish this season is 14th - the lowest they would have finished since Tommy Docherty's side were relegated from the First Division in 1974.

The supercomputer has given them a 19 per cent chance of finishing 14th, a slightly better chance than finishing 15th (17.9 per cent). The third-likeliest position is 13th at 17.3 per cent, a position they haven't finished in since 1990 under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Further bad news follows with the supercomputer calculations giving United zero per cent chance of finishing in the top five places to qualify for the Champions League. They have a 0.1 per cent chance of a Europa League spot and just 0.2 per cent of sealing a place in the Europa Conference League.

Even finishing in the top 10, which is only eight points away, seems a long-shot - rated at just a 5.5 per cent chance. Fears over relegation should be faded, though, with just a 0.1 per cent chance of falling out of the Premier League.

Following the weekend defeat to Tottenham, Amorim admitted his job at Old Trafford is 'so hard' at the moment. He said: "What you see guys and what you discuss every week, I also see. I have a lot of problems, my job is so, so hard here. But I stick with my beliefs."

Former United captain Gary Neville told Sky Sports: "The club will have to be patient but I would like to see the performance levels getting higher. This is a very average level that United are performing at week in, week out.

"The bigger concern is that the players are not demonstrating in this system in any of the 20 matches that Amorim has had so far that there is an entertainment and performance level to this system.

"The best thing about it [Amorim's time in charge] has been his press conferences. This is a really poor United team."
