Manchester United's final position in the Premier League table has been predicted after their recent defeat in the Manchester derby . United were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, in what was their second league defeat of the campaign and third in all competitions.
Ruben Amorim's side have won just one in five in all competitions this season, which came with a 3-2 victory over Burnley before the international break. With no European football to play this season and an early exit from the Carabao Cup to Grimsby Town , pressure has been mounting on Amorim's position.
United are currently 14th in the Premier League table after the opening four matches and now a fresh prediction has emerged for how the final table will look.
Opta Analyst have already made a prediction for the final Premier League standings once 38 fixtures have been played.
The prediction believes that United will finish the campaign in 14th place with 47 points (47.22) to their name.
Should this prediction be accurate, United would then go another season with no European football at Old Trafford.
A 14th place finish would mean the only way to qualify for Europe now will be to win the FA Cup to earn a spot in the Europa League .
Nottingham Forest are tipped to finish just above United in 13th place, also on 47 points (47.36), while Fulham are predicted to be slightly below the Reds in 15th place (47.11), reports the Manchester Evening News .
As well as Fulham, United are also predicted to finish above West Ham , and Leeds United in the final Premier League table, while Sunderland , Wolves , and Burnley are predicted to face relegation.
In terms of Premier League champions, Liverpool are the club tipped to remain their crown with 80 points (80.41), with Arsenal in second with 74 points (74.48).
It comes as United have a tough run of fixtures in store, as the pressure mounts on Amorim to turn the tide at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils return to Premier League action on Saturday, September 20 when they play host to Chelsea , who are enjoying a stellar unbeaten run of their own in the top flight.
United then travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to do battle with Brentford next Saturday, before welcoming a newly-promoted Sunderland to the Theatre of Dreams the following. A fierce derby with Liverpool at Anfield then follows, with a tough test against Brighton landing on Saturday, October 25.
