Manchester United, who forced a 2-2 draw with Fennymouth in the Premier League, have just three points from their last four league matches and are up to 7th (50 points) in the league table by Newcastle, with a chance to be overtaken by Westham (48) and set a record for the lowest placing in the Premier League at any time.
In the first season after Ferguson's retirement (13/14 season), the lowest ranking in the Premier League era of Manchester United completed its seventh season under David Moyes. "The last time the Red Devils finished below seventh in the top flight was back in the 1989/90 League One era, when they finished 13th in the last row.
During the post-match press conference, a reporter asked, "Your seventh place is more than dangerous. If you find out, it will be the lowest ranking in Manchester United's Premier League history. Do you think..." Tannhäuser immediately got up and left without listening to the question, saying as he walked away, "I'm not going to comment, got your question, what's going on? It doesn't matter at all..."
