Manchester City have been placed as favourites to win the Champions League, according to data experts - who also claim rivals United have less than one per cent chance of lifting the trophy.
The knockout stages for the competition begin this week with the round of 16 commencing on Tuesday night and data group FiveThirtyEight have come up with their own formula to work out who will be champions in May.
The group claims United are not favourites to win their first knockout round tie with Atletico Madrid, which starts next week, but their journey to the Saint Petersburg final has little chance of even if Ralf Rangnick's side do progress to the quarter-finals.
