PUNTERS have piled on Manchester United to be RELEGATED, forcing Betfair to SLASH their odds considerably.
It follows the disastrous start to the campaign for Erik ten Hag – with Mauricio Pochettino now BACKED to come in and salvage their Premier League hopes.
BETFAIR: BET £10 GET £30*
Before Saturday's Brentford debacle, United were as big as 150/1 to go down.
They're now into an astonishingly low 22/1 with Betfair to make up part of the bottom three.
That puts them at a lower price than Newcastle at 30/1 to drop into the second tier.
United endured their worst Premier League campaign to date last season, amassing just 58 points in total.
Hopes were high during pre-season when under the stewardship of new boss Erik ten Hag, United thrashed Liverpool 4-0 and followed up with four more goals against Melbourne Victory.
A 3-1 win against a makeshift Crystal Palace side followed, but United have failed to win since.
That form continued into the start of the season with the opening day 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton and then Saturday's horror show in the 4-0 loss at Brentford.
It follows the well-publicised dispute between Cristiano Ronaldo and United as he seeks a way out this summer.
The Portuguese star trudged off at full time without shaking his manager's hand after being visibly frustrated at the shocking performance.
Man Utd: Premier League odds

Ten Hag couldn't have imagined his reign getting off to a poorer start and he is now immediately under pressure.
He admitted after the game that United were still short of competing, as they continue trying to convince reinforcements to join the club.
But Pochettino has been backed by Betfair to come into Old Trafford and save their season at this early stage.
The Argentine has been linked with a move to United on several occasions in the past but has found himself in work when opportunities arise.
Now, he doesn't have a club after losing his job at PSG in the summer.
Next Man Utd manager
Betfair odds
- Mauricio Pochettino 5/4
- Zinedine Zidane 5/1
- Graham Potter 9/1
- Gareth Southgate 12/1
- Brendan Rodgers 16/1
- Diego Simeone 20/1
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 20/1
- Thomas Frank 25/1
- Thomas Tuchel 33/1
- Antonio Conte 33/1
- Eddie Howe 33/1
- Jesse Marsch 33/1
- Roberto Martinez 40/1
- Unai Emery 40/1
BETFAIR: BET £10 GET £30*
He's the 5/4 favourite to succeed Ten Hag and become the latest manager to attempt to revive the club.
He leads Zinedine Zidane at 5/1 and opening day victor Graham Potter who is 9/1.
England boss Gareth Southgate is 12/1 with ex-Liverpool and current Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers at 16/1.
Diego Simeone's tough love might do the trick at 20/1 and he is the same price as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to make a remarkable return.
Thomas Frank – who got the better of Ten Hag with ease on Saturday – is 25/1.
