‘Relegation looming’ fear fans as scary omen hints Man Utd may have to prepare for Championship after ‘worst season’

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left fearing they could be RELEGATED after falling to a dismal defeat to Tottenham.

James Maddison’s first-half rebound was enough to separate the two teams as the Red Devils fell to 15th in the Premier League.

But their 12th defeat from 25 league games has also highlighted a very bad omen for Man Utd.

According to OptaJoe, the 12 defeats are the most from their first 25 matches of a league campaign since 1973-74.

That season in the old First Division saw the tally stand at 13 defeats.

And that season saw Man Utd relegated from the top flight.

Reacting to the ominous figure, one fan said: “Relegation looming.”

A second said: “They’re sure to be relegated this season as well.”

A third added: “Relegation Reds.”

Another said: “And so we should be. It has gone on for too many years this. A name alone can’t win the league yet many seem to think because we are Man Utd that we should. Glazers have killed the club year after year.”

A fifth joked: “They break records every season.”

Man Utd’s plans for the game were hit by severe disruption as SIX stars ended up being ruled out, four through injury and two more through illness.

Amorim ended up selecting eight teenagers on the bench against Spurs, with seven coming directly from the academy.

However, he inexplicably made his one and only roll of the dice in injury time by bringing on Chido Obi for Casemiro.

Fans labelled the 40-year-old a “coward” for the decision, with many believing the Carrington products could have offered more than some of the senior stars on the pitch.

It was also a move which seemingly rejected the club’s motto: “Youth, Courage and Greatness.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp has warned Man Utd to expect another 18 months of pain as they need a full cultural reset.
