Manchester United’s difficult Premier League campaign worsened at the weekend as they suffered a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth in the eighth round of fixtures.

The result was the club’s third loss of the season. Michael Carrick’s side have collected only seven points from their eight matches, with one victory and four draws.

Manchester United have scored 10 goals and conceded 13. That record leaves them 16th in the table, just one point clear of the relegation zone.

Analysts using dynamic modelling have calculated that the probability of Manchester United being relegated from the Premier League this season is close to 20%.

The team now face a demanding run of fixtures. In their next three Premier League matches, Manchester United will play Chelsea, Aston Villa and Liverpool.
