Manchester United's chances of being demoted have increased after losing to Newcastle in a match led by Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United is currently facing a tough time as they struggle to keep their position above the relegation zone. The team's recent run of defeats continued on Tuesday night, with a fourth consecutive loss against Newcastle in all competitions. The Red Devils were no match for the opposing team, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton scoring two headed goals within the first 20 minutes of the game. This loss has left the club in 14th place in the Premier League, with only a seven-point lead over the relegation zone. Fans are now worried as they have to shift their focus from the top of the table to the bottom.

Amorim, the team's Portuguese coach, was even questioned about the possibility of United being drawn into a relegation battle during his post-match press conference. He admitted that this was a little embarrassing for him. When asked if the team was fighting to maintain their Premier League status this season, Amorim replied, "That is really clear and we have to fight. It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty. We have to fight in the next game."

The pressure on Amorim is increasing as United's poor performance continues. The team's next match in the new year is against top-of-the-table Liverpool, followed by a heavyweight FA Cup third-round clash with Arsenal a week later. It's a tough schedule for the former Sporting head coach.

The odds of United being relegated this season are surprisingly high, with online bookmakers placing them at 14/1. This is higher than teams currently sitting in the bottom three - Southampton, Leicester, and Ipswich. Even teams like Wolves, Everton, and Manchester City are seen as more likely to suffer relegation than United, according to the bookmakers.

After the team's recent defeat against Newcastle, club legend Gary Neville suggested that Amorim should consider recalling players like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. He also expressed concern about their upcoming match against bitter rivals Liverpool. "I have no idea how they will approach this game on Sunday. It has been tough for Manchester United in recent years when they face Liverpool. I am not sure what Ruben Amorim can do in the next few days. The only thing he can do is point towards Manchester City."

Neville also mentioned the potential of players like Rashford and Garnacho, saying that they could make a difference on the pitch. "They are better than what we are seeing out there. They have legs and could make things difficult for Liverpool's defenders. It's a tough decision for Amorim as he wants to set a new culture in the dressing room, but we are at a point where we need to do what's necessary. Manchester United is only seven points away from relegation. It's a difficult time for the team."

It's a challenging period for Manchester United, and fans are worried about the possibility of relegation. But with the support of their coach, players, and loyal fans, the team will continue to fight and work towards improving their performance. The upcoming matches against tough opponents will be a true test of their determination and strength. Only time will tell if Manchester United can overcome this difficult phase and secure their position in the Premier League.
