Manchester United fans, you might want to sit down for this. The same supercomputer that has accurately called the Premier League winners for years has just run its latest simulation after a wild run of fixtures—and the results are finally in.
After a rocky start to the 2025/26 campaign, the tide at Old Trafford is officially turning. According to the latest data from the Opta Supercomputer, Manchester United is no longer just “making up the numbers.”
Early in the season, projections had United slumped as low as 10th or 12th. But the new numbers tell a very different story:
-
Champions League Hunt: United are now firmly projected to finish in the Top 6, with their chances of securing a Champions League spot (potentially 5th place this year) skyrocketing to nearly 30%.
-
The Point Projection: The supercomputer now expects United to finish with approximately 62 points—a massive 15-point improvement over last season’s disastrous finish.
-
The “Giant Killer” Status: Data shows United are now the most dangerous “swing” team in the league, consistently taking points off the Top 3 and disrupting the title race between Arsenal and Man City.
Is the Glory Coming Back?
While a league title might still be a simulation away (Arsenal is currently holding a staggering 85% chance to win the trophy), the supercomputer confirms that United is officially “back” in the elite conversation. For a fanbase that has endured a roller-coaster few years, this data-driven “congratulations” is a beacon of hope.
The machine rarely lies, and right now, the machine is starting to believe in the Red Devils.
