The Manchester giants are sixth in the Premier League and are likely to miss out on Champions League football next season.

United have also conceded a whopping 51 goals in 35 league matches, which is the worst return out of the entire top eight.

Fans are furious with the state of the team this season and have continued to voice their disapproval of the owners by demanding their departure.

The United faithful have had a poor relationship with the ownership ever since the Glazers arrived in 2005.

And it all came to a head last year following the hierarchy's attempt to include United in the failed European Super League project.

Ralf Rangnick's men need to win tonight against Chelsea to keep any hopes of a top-four finish alive.

The Red Devils are currently six points away from Arsenal and fourth place.

And the Gunners as well as Tottenham currently have two games in hand.

Interim manager Rangnick, though, admitted after the loss to Arsenal last weekend that he is not confident United will make it to the Champions League places.

The German tactician said: "Yeah, pretty sure for me even before that game it was not very likely, but after this result top four is gone."
