Manchester United are facing the unthinkable prospect of a relegation battle under Ruben Amorim in 2025. The Reds sit 14th on the Premier League table, seven points clear of the bottom three after Monday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle.

United's defeat at home to Eddie Howe's side was their fourth in a row across all competitions with Amorim's team failing to score since the 4-3 loss at Tottenham on December 19.
