Manchester United is predicted to fail to finish in the top four of the 2022/2023 Premier League standings. This prediction is made by a supercomputer.
This season, Manchester United started a new era with the new manager, Erik ten Hag. Unfortunately, Ten Hag's debut was tarnished by two consecutive defeats in the first two weeks.
However, after that Ten Hag made a revolution and the results were truly extraordinary. Manchester United has won four in a row and is now starting to push into the top of the standings.
Supercomputer Prediction
Now, Fivethirtyeight's supercomputer predicts that Manchester United will again fail to finish in the top four standings. This means that next season United will not play in the Champions League again.
Fivethirtyeight's supercomputer uses both offensive and defensive components to determine whether a team will be able to win a match.
From the results of this analysis, the Fivethirtyeight supercomputer then compiled a list to see how many points a team would get at the end of the season.
