Would a Man Utd relegation eclipse Leicester's title as Premier League's great shock

HAVE YOUR SAY: Leicester's Premier League title in 2016 will live long in the memory, but would a Manchester United relegation surpass that as English football's greatest shock?

Man Utd go into Sunday's clash in the relegation zone

Leicester winning the Premier League? You're being ridiculous. Well that was the line we all came out with until people actually thought this could happen.

And of course it did, the 5,000/1 shock remains etched in history as the Premier League's greatest ever shock. Having just escaped relegation the previous year, Claudio Ranieri led the Foxes to the title in one of English football's greatest moments.

But at the opposite end of the table another great shock is building. Of course few expect Manchester United to actually go down, but their fortunes show no sign of improving.

They have just one win so far - the joint least in the league. That victory came back in August over newly promoted Ipswich and they've rarely looked like winning again. Michael Carrick is desperately searching for answers - failing to find any in the coming weeks could see him chopped.

United remain the Premier League's most successful side, but they've fallen so far from those heights that some have joked relegation and a reset might actually help. Of course, it wouldn't, but if these results continue into Christmas then we're halfway through the campaign, and that is when the relegation picture becomes clearer.
