Man Utd to finish 13th? Supercomputer predicts Red Devils to record lowest-ever Premier League finish despite Ruben Amorim appointment

United won't improve upon their current position of 13th in the league, according to a supercomputer that predicts the Red Devils will record their lowest-ever finish in the top-flight since the inception of the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag was sacked in October with United in 14th in the table, with Amorim bumping them up just one spot since coming in. But he'll be hopeful of further gains between now and the end of the season, especially after last weekend's impressive 2-1 win at Manchester City.

1. Liverpool - 92 points
2. Chelsea - 88 points
3. Arsenal - 80 points
4. Manchester City - 74 points
5. Aston Villa - 63 points
6. Newcastle United - 61 points
7. Tottenham Hotspur - 60 points
8. Brighton - 57 points
9. Bournemouth - 55 points
10. Nottingham Forest - 53 points
11. Fulham - 52 points
12. Brentford - 47 points
13. Manchester United - 45 points
14. Crystal Palace - 42 points
15. West Ham United - 40 points
16. Everton - 37 points
17. Wolves - 35 points
18. Leicester City - 32 points
19. Ipswich Town - 30 points
20. Southampton - 20 points

“With continued debate around how the Premier League table will look in May, we've turned to the power of AI to predict how the league will shape up and it’s safe to say some eyebrows might be raised at the results," Sam Boswell, spokesperson of BetVictor, said.

"Our supercomputer has concluded that Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will fail to finish higher than their current position of 13th. Perhaps the uncertainty around United’s January transfer window activity and off-field discussions have contributed to their placement in the bottom half."

Amorim will hope to prove the supercomputer wrong and guide United to a European spot. The Red Devils welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford on Sunday.
