What are the odds of Manchester United’s relegation in Premier League 2022-23 season?

A new 30-year low for Manchester United. They have been thrashed 4-0 by Brentford a week after losing at home to Brighton and are now bottom of the Premier League on goal difference. This was supposed to be the start of a bright new era under Erik ten Hag. But, so far, it has just been the same old, same old.
If Manchester United’s loss to Brighton at home the previous weekend served as a wake-up call for them and their new manager Erik ten Hag, then Saturday’s humiliating defeat at Brentford will have set off alarm bells in overdrive.
If United’s away supporters were anticipating a quick start from their team after last Saturday’s defeat to Brighton, they were let down. Josh Dasilva’s long-range shot managed to sneak underneath goalkeeper David de Gea after just 10 minutes in west London, and eight minutes later Mathias Jensen took advantage of De Gea’s errant pass to double the Bees’ lead with a cool finish.
Ben Mee gave Brentford a further advantage with a head nod, and Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a long pass to give the home team a 4-0 lead after just 35 minutes. This leaves the Red Devils without a point – and bottom of the league – after two games and desperately searching for answers.
Manchester United odds of relegation are more closer than ever now standing at 28/1 which means for every £10 stake claimed on relegation, the Better will take home £280 quid if the Red Devils get relegated at the end of the season. They may be at the bottom of the table but United are surely big enough to play in the second tier of English football, however, sweet it be sound to rival fans.
“It’s a real achievement to spend a billion pounds and be this bad” – Gary Neville slams Manchester United’s dismal performance against Brentford
After Manchester United lost to Brentford 4-0 on Saturday, Gary Neville was frustrated and said it was a “real achievement” for them to play as poorly as they did given the amount of money they had spent. A 4-0 loss in the capital left United at the bottom of the Premier League, marking Erik ten Hag’s awful start to life in the league.
After losing to Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford the previous weekend, United fell apart in a dismal 35-minute span as Brentford ripped them apart and sent vultures circling. “Manchester United have known for eight to 10 months they’ve needed to rebuild the squad for the summer. Ralf Rangnick [last season’s interim manager] described it as open-heart surgery,” he told Sky Sports.
“That is not a strategy, you can’t do that. That was 15 years ago. You’ve got to have players identified and the work’s been done with the agents. Yes, of course, you always try to please the manager if he has got a player he’s got really good contacts with. But the one he has got good contacts with, they can’t get in: Frenkie de Jong”.
“It’s a real achievement to spend a billion pounds and be this bad. It doesn’t take much to dismantle this Manchester United team. It just takes a bit of organisation, a bit of fight, and you’re there. If you just rough them up a little bit and get a goal, they’re flaky like you wouldn’t believe.”
