Manchester United has suffered series of set backs in both team management and match outcomes, sometimes it's the manager's fault, sometimes the individual players, sometimes it's everyone's fault at thesame time. But I'd say that the manager is to be blamed fully because he's the overseer of the team and he has the capacity to make corrections when things go wrong so no matter how much a player is blamed, you won't tell me that the manager didn't also see the defaults in that player and make a move for his replacement.

 United's squad from back to forth are world class and I believe they just need the right hand. Let's use Onana as an instance, the major reason why he was signed by United was a result of his top notch performances with Ajax and now here's what they get. Is it out of the blue that Onana lost his capability to function well? No. I'm not saying it's the coach that made him the way he is but the coach can as well build him up to be better than how he is now. It's very much safe to say that a change of hand won't be bad for United.They need a new strategy, they also need a new managerial atmosphere, maybe that's where the jinx lies.

I still remember Mohammed Salah's disappointment when Liverpool did not participate in the Champions League this season and he will definitely try hard to bring Liverpool back to Europe's highest competition. That's why I think Mohamed Salah has an important role at Liverpool and Jurgen Kloop definitely wants the Egyptian player to stay. Going to the Saudi league is a good goal but Mohammed Salah is still at the highest level performance-wise and he is still not finished like other players who have gone to Saudi league teams. I feel that Mohammed will stay at Liverpool at least until he is satisfied with his achievements so far.

Well yes, I haven't heard how much money Al Ittihad will offer for Salah. I think it will be a repeat offer, I mean Al Ittihad might get a rejection on their first offer, after that they come again with a bigger amount and so on. Moh Salah is one of the important players in their squad, and it will certainly be very difficult to convince Liverpool to let Salah go.
On the other hand, if Al Ittihad can bring very tempting money, then it is not impossible that they will be able to convince Liverpool to release Salah.

Juventus are seriously seeking his service, they have issues with goal creation and goal scoring, he would be a good idea for the goal creation from.the flanks, that's only if they have a good goalscorer to convert them. Dusan Vlahovic might be a good option but I don't know how ready he'll be to play for the club he's also been linked previously with moves to Chelsea and other clubs.
I know nothing about his former club Dortmund wanting him back, I've just seen and read news related to Saudi Arabia and also Juventus.

For Mo Salah, Liverpool should plan for his exit, last season he was eager to leave and refusal affected his performance for the club. Liverpool can sell and prepare to pay Kylian Mbappe a huge salary.

In my own opinion, I think Erik Ten Hag also has his own share of blames for his negative relationships with some of the club's first team players. Last season, we saw Cristiano Ronaldo leave the club at the middle of of the season because of constant feud with the manager and this season again, Jadon Sancho will also be leaving the club in the January transfer window after refusing to apologise to the manager for having a rift during one of the club's training sessions.

Erik Ten Hag I think is one manager that has too much pride and always wants to stamp his authority over his players and that attitude doesn't sit well with a lot of big name footballers. I'm not saying he shouldn't be respected as the club's manager by the players but he should learn how to regulate his relationship with his players if he truly wants to succeed at the club.

What is he going to be doing in the club after the contract expiry? Since Mane left th club, his contributions to success of Liverpool is degrading everyday like it's coming down to zero. They were trophieless last season and this season is at it again but they have improve in Europa and Premier league but that is not a concern until they win the trophy, some teams like Tottenham showed us that they are back for good but look at them today,they are struggling now.


He loves Arab, I'm confident that he is going to make that move to one of this Saudi Arabia professional leagues where Ronaldo and Benzema are culling and getting tremendous amount of pay weekly without doing much and still get paid on influencing their culture by wearing their cultural attires.

If the contract current contract will reach 2025, it's better for Liverpool to sell him next year while the contract is still on so they can benefits on his transfer, failure to do so will earn them nothing unless he is willing to remain in the club for another extension.

Letting Jadon Sancho follow his football path outside Man United is one  way for  him to learn discipline. Because in a club  that manages  players to become famous and it doesn't depend on a coach. Here Jadon Sancho couldn't do that with Ten Hag. Everyone has their own points of error but both Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag must realize that there are more important things to fight for beyond  their own selfishness. Man United is the main priority  and Jadon Sancho position is no more so.  So Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho  will never find common ground.

It shall be redirected into the main question. How much money is going to be offered by ittihad to get salah from liverpool? 100m? Im sure FSG is going to reject it. 200m? May be yes, may be no. That totally depends on the FSG's decision.
Klopp can't affect the decision from the owner of club. I remind you that FSG may be able to change his decision regarding the future of salah. Let's see how big al ittihad's offer for him.

We may be getting an answer from FSG immediately after ittihad will be sending its official bid in the winter transfer window.

I think there is going to be a certain amount of money that they will be ready to pay for him. But they are definitely not going to spend too much money on him. And at the same time, Manchester United has been very consistent. The player can try to actually make some changes and go to Juventus. But as soon as he arrives at Juventus, he is going to have to perform really well. Because the expectation is going to be high from him. But I am still very skeptical about this. I don't think it is going to be a very good idea for the player to make this change right now.

Right now if Dortmund can eventually give around 35 million for Sancho then it could be possible although I still feel that if it is Dortmund then a loan option is one of the most sensiblethings.

Previously there were several other  big club who wanted Sancho especially Juventus who were very serious but it seems that Jadon is not interested in Juventus but for the Dortmunf problem too actually I dont see them being too serious about Jadon especially now that they have found a new young star in midfield from Dortmund where there is the name Jamie Bynoe-Gittens who now seems to be getting media attention. 

I won't blame anyone but do we all remember how Erik Ten Hag had problems with Ronaldo and how Sancho Erik Ten Hag had problems?
I said about the fact that as long as Erik Ten Hag served as coach of Manchester United there were always problems like this and the problem was almost the same as the relationship between the players and the coach which was not good, made the players get annoyed and decided to leave the club and during this time Manchester United lost Ronaldo and Sancho. Both players are talented and capable of being relied on but Erik Ten lost these two players.
From the problems that have occurred, we can all conclude what made Manchester United experience this bad situation and what is the best solution and I will not blame anyone but want Erik Tenhag to be replaced with another coach.

Till this time Ten Hag doesn't make a significant impact on the team, it suggests that his performance isn't up to good for MU. Exactly, it's not solely Ten Hag's responsibility, as there are 11 players on the field and a significant support staff behind the club that also influence the team. However, it seems like Ten Hag's strategies is the main reason here and might not be the best fit for a club as prominent as MU. The current playing style of Man United is notably very very poor, and its progress is sloooow.

MU is eyeing Carlo Ancelotti to replace Ten Hag, but it appears Carlo has turned down the offer for several reasons, even though his contract with Real Madrid is set to end this season. With only a few top coaches available, Man United's options for a replacement are narrowing. This situation seems likely to extend Man United's period of bad performance into the next season unless there are significant changes in the near future.

It's not right to say that the generality of United's backsliding is to be blamed on Hag, it's not fair to do so as even if the man tries his best to set up the team and the players do not want to play right, they'd still blame him. Currently, the issue they face is as a result of general team's negligence to performance, they've gone below standard in all areas and admittingly, Hag too is a part of it. He's the head of the team and he has the responsibility to manage the team rightly.

 He should be in the best position to make proper decisions for the team. Check for the errors, brainstorm and profer variety of processes to getting the errors solved, be should task the players in confidence building too as they keep lacking it weekly.They failed woefully yesterday at their game against Galatasaray and it was believed they'd have the day but sadly they couldn't keep up with being ahead and they had to let out goals to their opponents, that's how poor they've become and they need to work on that act of winning and relaxing to be won afterwards.

Mohamed Salah still has a contract with Liverpool until the 2025 season and maybe for this season Liverpool will still retain this key player, Liverpool still needs Mohamed Salah to strengthen the team's performance as long as Mohamed Salah still makes a good contribution to Liverpool I am sure Liverpool doesn't want to sell his important players That.

Maybe after this season ends or when Mohamed Salah's contract comes will to end, Al Ittihad can negotiate with Liverpool and Liverpool still have enough time to choose several players to replace M. Salah. The sale of M Salah to Saudi Arabia will certainly provide big profits for Liverpool and M Salah can spent the rest of his career in football with Saudi Arabia and M Salah could have a big salary there and that would be good for his retirement.

I blamed Erik Ten Hag at some points for this but I looked deep in myself for guidance and asked, " What will Sir Alex Ferguson do in this situation? " Then I decided to shut the fuck up and let whatever will be happen.  Lad should take the first step towards saying how sorry he's taken whatever happening internal external.
There are also few names that have played a role towards seeing that the manager and the player come to full agreement and work together but Jadon Sancho has kept a stiff neck towards this! Its obvious he choose to leave over working with Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag.

He is still 23 years old, and his potential for a career in European football is still very large. He's not bad either, if he's on the right team. I'm sure he will be at his best in a few seasons. he will choose the right club, and the decision to reject the Arab club is probably the best.
My guess is, he will return to Dortmund. but let's just follow the news developments about it. we are getting closer to the transfer market where there may be some surprises for this season.

Just maybe, really. They don’t want two solid goalkeeprrs which I still dont want to believe that could be the case because on what reason will Arteta discard Ramsdale so easily. I may not have watched some of the matches he has fumbled but to a very great extent, Ramsdale have performed exceptionally well in his career with Arsenal. I liked the ganeplay of the guy and was enjoying him at a point. Suddenly we noticed a change when the champions league started, David Raya took over from Ramsdale like play and up till now, Ramsdale havent gotten that sit back. And i’m wondering what could be the cause of this decision taken by Arteta and i’m still left in the dilemma until today.


Salah is a no-go area for the Saudi Pro League now not when he still gets his relevance from the English league. One thing I have noticed with the english leagues is competitiveness and popularity. Because the huge investments that the europe is putting into the soccer games, it has made it very popular amomgst other leagues in the world. It is always a dream come through for most players to get featured at the UEFA Champions League. It is because of this that I heavily think that it is impossible for Salah to live for the SPL now.

Jadon Sancho has not played for Man Utd since the end of August after falling out with coach Erik Ten Hag. The last time the English striker played for Man Utd was a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. Since publicly opposing Coach Erik Ten Hag, Jadon Sancho has not been part of the Man Utd squad for the past 3 months. 4 years have passed, unfortunately for Man Utd, because instead of becoming more mature, Sancho has become more stubborn. And there is still no sign that he will apologize or make an effort to improve to be forgiven by Ten Hag. This player's career is going down. Man Utd is also having to accept the disadvantage of spending a large amount of money, but they do not have the services of Sancho. They should sell him cheap to Juventus. The more stubborn, the more disadvantageous it is for both Sancho and Man Utd.

Jadon Sancho is a classy player, but I don't dare think he will be more mature in his work. Currently, it is unclear who is right and who is wrong between him and Ten Hag, but the truth is that he is destroying his career.

Liverpool clearly will not sell this important player before they can find a replacement and it is proven that Liverpool's decision was the right one when they kept Mohammed Salah because this player is still showing his sharpness, his contribution to Liverpool is quite big from season to season but next season the opportunity for him to leave Liverpool is wide open, because maybe he feels the need to achieve something else in his career and accepting an offer from one of the clubs in the Saudi pro league could be his choice because he can still shine there seeing his consistent performance at Liverpool and besides that he can earn more money

Recently, Sancho declared that he would only consider donning the jersey of his former club, Dortmund, if he leaves MU. On Dortmund's side, despite being willing to rescue Sancho, the Bundesliga representative would only sign a contract with him if they secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stage. Currently, they are topping Group F, presenting ample opportunities to progress. Therefore, Dortmund's chances of salvaging Sancho are quite high.

Apart from Juve and Dortmund, Sancho has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabian "giants," but it seems he is not yet ready to depart from top-tier football. Hence, the plausible future for Sancho, if he chooses not to stay at MU, might be either Juve or Dortmund.
Mikel Arteta aimed to create competition for the goalkeeper position by recruiting both top-notch goalkeepers Ramsdale and Raya. However, this inadvertently led to significant pressure on Ramsdale.

Consequently, he started losing the confidence he once possessed, resulting in a series of mistakes. At Ramsdale's career stage, he needs regular playing time to foster his development. Therefore, being relegated to a backup option is not something he can be content with. As a result, allowing Ramsdale to leave could be a viable option for Arsenal at this moment.
