He is not bad until he will bring manchester united to the bottom place. Ten hag is still having capability to stay even longer in manchester united. We must take a look at his performance. Even though MU was struggling but the performance from his club is quite consistent at this moment.
ten hag is trying so hard to make manchester united even better than before. I do support this club caused by having MU in the UCL spot race will be very interesting.

The players have lose their mentality and that's it. It is important to recall that Manchester United might have experienced a tough period when the club had to cope with the departure of certain players as a result of their engagement in criminal behavior.
That is also a small factor that is greatly affecting the performance from manchester united too. Many people are just forgetting it.

I see, but I would rule out a potential transfer of Haaland to Real Madrid in summer 2024 because Pep Guardiola has a contract that lasts until 2025, and really I can't in the slightest imagine that Haaland would leave Manchester City while he has the chance to be trained and trusted by Pep Guardiola to then play under a yet unknown trainer for Real Madrid. But whoever that trainer is, it won't get any better than with Pep Guardiola.

Since Real Madrid won't leave the center forward position vacant for almost another full 2 years, I believe that their, let's say effort allocation for targeted transfers is more like 85% Mbappe and 15% Haaland. Would you agree?

Erik ten Hag is actually not a bad choice for Manchester United. You know how good they were last season. They made a really good progress in the Premier League by saving themselves from a poor condition. However they are back to a similar condition again now interestingly. I don't think there is anything changed in the management style of him.

There is something behind the scenes that is causing this team to have serious problems. The players have lost a lot of morale which is causing them to struggle against even smaller teams. I don't know if the board would decide to part ways with Erik ten Hag soon anyway.

Eduardo Camavinga has officially to extended his contract with Real Madrid it says he will be at this team until 2029 and 1 billion clause price was putting into his new contract which mean those who want to buy him should be accept to pay according to contract clause price however Eduardo Camavinga was transfered to Real Madrid from Rennes on 2021 and since that year he was total playing 114 times and gets 6 trophies with Real Madrid so this is right decision from Madrid to extended his contract because Camavinga was important player for them and this season Camavinga always being an the first choice of Ancelotti so it proven from his statistics this season that Camavinga have already to played 12 times in Laliga which mean he was never absense since Laliga started

what I actually see that Xavi not only gives encouragement to Lewandowski, but also plays an important role like Felix and Gundogan, he is also one of the players who can be relied on. Its just that these two players cannot have the same talent as Lewandowski, so when Lewandowski performance declines due to age and injury previously Felix and Gundogan could not replace the striker appearance so Xavi should have given slightly harsh direction to provide this understanding to Felix and Gundogan so that if striker was not well there was another player who could replace his role like Real Madrid does not have a striker but Bellingham can be striker role.

defeat in UCL when we played against Shakhtar made us a little disappointed with just very close score, even though I actually hoped it would at least end a draw.

I feel like Ten Hag is unnecessarily taking a stand against the players. Sancho was paid a large transfer fee and should ensure that he joins the team. Being a coach is not about managing a team in a despotic manner, but about solving crises in the best way possible, but I cannot see this in ETH. After both the problems with CR7 and the problems with Sancho, I started looking for the fault in ETH.

It is absolutely impossible for Erik Ten Hag to play him as a player in Manchester United matches if he has not shown his regret by apologizing to Ten Hag, and it is quite clear that there is only one way he can return to being in the Manchester United squad is by apologizing.
So will playing him as a player make a difference to Manchester United? I doubt this because he has been a player with minimal contribution to his club for a long time, he is one of the unprofitable purchases for Manchester United, and it would be better for him to tell his agent to look for another club so he can return to playing soon because at Old Trafford his opportunity play is almost said to be closed.

The main problem if the new striker will not be able to be registered if barcelona will be facing another financial trouble again. I meant we shall also aware about how many players are going out from the club with free agent status. This is a big lose for barcelona.
This is what i don't like this club. I remind you that if barcelona was always buying an expensive player then sell it for cheap price. This club is rarely generating profit from its sales. I think that xavi will be also getting problem by having limited budget to do that.
There may be some alternative plan like searching a cheap striker probably someone like guirassy from stuttgart.





Lewandowski's performance has been dropping so hard since he was the only striker to rely with. This is the main problem owned by barcelona. Im still also questioning why this club was taking more midfielders instead of striker.
Many people aware if lewandowski is the only striker in this club at this moment. Missing him meant there's no striker in the club. Xavi can only push felix to play in that position which was not suitable for him.

it seems Ten Hag and Manchester United already have conclusion to sell Jadon Sancho remembering current situation in the squad. the thing is that hard to find a club to buy Sancho due to his price, wage and attitude. for the move is possible to happen, Sancho needs accept a much lower wage and Manchester United need to accept a much lower transfer fee.

other than saudi clubs, I think a club who are willing to sign sancho are Juventus, because right now they need a quality young forward and they are in a transition of rebuilding a good team to compete at a highest level again.

Th3y need to do that urgently with the speed of light, the Lewandowski I watched yesterday was not the Lewandowski  we watched scoring too many goals for Bayern Munich and scoring four goals against a side as Real Madrid in the Champions League. He should have been substituted but Xavi kept him to play for a reason. This drop in performance and form is as a result of recent  injuries. Now searching and scouting the market for a long-term potential replacement is ideal. Ferran Torres is also not too good for barcelona. Marcos Alonso and Sergio Roberto included should be among players to leave January.

I totally agree with you about Bellingham and Kean; they've been the standout signings of the season. They've been incredibly impressive and are now the leaders of Bayern and Real Madrid. Another signing that's been remarkably successful is Declan Rice's move from West Ham to Arsenal for 116 million Euros. He's become a key player for Arsenal.
Regarding Ten Hag's tenure at Mu, it seems that Sancho might not get many more opportunities to play. There's even talk of him leaving on loan. However, if Ten Hag is no longer the manager at Mu, it's possible that he might return.

Robert Lewandoski has been a very vital player you can attest his performance for Bayern Munich but initially now his performance is really dropping in Barcelona maybe it might be due to the fact that his ageing so I think Barcelona needs to sort for a replacement despite there financial constraints, they still need tactical strikers that can be able to do the finishing for them.

The growth of club most time is dependent on how much you spent on buying experience players that will help change the game play for your team so telling them to stop buying players is as equal as telling the club to stop existing so for me Barcelona is a great club with talented players, they need more concentration on their forwards because their finishing is very poor, their defenders doesn't slack too much as Barcelona doesn't concede much goals in their matches I think Xavi needs to focus his interest in the strikers that where the problem is if their strikers can perform better then they're good to go however, Barcelona is still in good form so far this season.

Lewa was not old enough but his performance is even older than his age. Lewandowski's performance is dropping so hard. I can remember correctly when he was saying that if lewandowski was willing to surpass the performance from the previous season but the opposite thing is happening to him at this moment. He was missing some matches due to the injury and it was also affecting his performance to play even worst than the last season. No doubt if barcelona has been linked with several players at this moment.
Barcelona is only having 1 striker and that's lewandowski. The club doesn't have other pure striker at this moment. Xavi has planned to buy at least 1 more striker to be a back up for lewandowski but i just feel curious how barcelona can to do that without selling players.
La liga is still warning barcelona at this moment caused by it has no possibility to spend so much money for winter.

PSG always makes it difficult for Real Madrid. They actually have no problem with Mbappe, Mbappe seems to have the interest to join Real Madrid. But Real Madrid always difficult to negotiate because PSG management tries to defend Mbappe and set a his transfer price with a ridiculous amount of money. Real Madrid president already stated they only want to try signing Mbappe after his conract is over. If Mbappe extends his contract, I also think that Real Madrid management may give up to negotiate for signing Mbappe.

Yes, Osimhen is a good alternative. If Osimhen's price is below 200 million euros, I assume it won't be a big problem for Real Madrid. They probably will pay Osimhen as long as the price is reasonable.

Barcelona has been rumored already started to hunt the new striker to replace him at this moment. Some top strikers being linked to the barcelona but the only main question is where did barcelona get money to buy a new striiker?
So many player will be leaving with free agent like marcos alonso and sergi roberto. Barcelona is out of money and the club can only sell its young talented players. I think that barcelona shall not be so stupid by use everything to buy the new players.

The price of players these days is enough in making barcelona to be bankrup for a few years later. Barcelona will let more players to leave with free agent instead of selling them all for money. This is a disaster.
Lewandowski is old and his performance is dropping drastically. Barcelona will be running out of its money. The club is slowly but surely moving to the its end. Barcelona shall stop to think about how to buy the new players.
This club has worst money management.

It is difficult to keep him even though Jadon Sancho has made quite a good contribution at Manchester United but the problem is that both parties Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho cannot forgive each other so it is difficult to accept that this player should stay while I remember that it was rumored that Jadon Sancho wants to leave Manchester United immediately and regarding other clubs who will sign him, it seems that many big clubs will offer cooperation with the player, even clubs from Saudi Arabia want this player to go to Saudi Arabia.

Jadon Sancho could leave the team during the summer but sadly this drama happened in the first weeks of this season which means, this player should wait for a longer time and see if there is going to be any offer for him in the next transfer window. I think it's better for Ten Hag to use this player if he can have any benefits for the team because Manchester United is currently in a bad situation.

It is sad how the story of Jordan Sancho with Manchester United is ending but do I think it is the best thing for both parties yes I think so. Manchester United have employed Erik Ten Hag to instill discipline in the team and bring back glory days, but though I don’t like some of his policies he is right to stand strong against Sancho and no matter what everyone thinks Sancho was wrong first not to speak out but secondly to stay adamant of not willing to apologize. People are picking on Ten Hag because he isn’t winning matches but this things are different, even though you’re right sometimes you pay homage to your leader and absorb the pain that’s how you grow.

Alright Ten Hag aside, the club and some players visited him to come back and apologize but he didn’t and that to me is pure disrespectful and professional behavior to your team mates. I could remember Pep having similar issues with Samir Nasir and Joe Hart and when he booted out fans said he wouldn’t last a season but here he is on the verge of been the greatest manager to ever grace the land, which shows no player is bigger than the club. Mourinho’s time at United he also had problem with Luke Shaw and kicked him out of the first team. Shaw trained in car park alone and today he proves that you respond to this kind of things on the pitch, today Shaw has developed to be both an important player for both club and country

Sometimes it's not about how older or younger, physical strength matters too, and I think C Ronaldo is more built physically and he's more ambitious and trains harder than Lewandowski and I feel Lewandowski might not last up to 40 like you said, maybe just 3 more years and he's retired from professional football, however he's a very good player and if not for the injury woes he's facing currently he would've really challenged well for the golden boot this season.

 But I feel Barcelona might not endure his injury crisis for too long before they start seeking for a replacement, except he gets back very fit and start helping them score immediately he recovers, cause his absence is really affecting the performance of  the club, it was obvious when they faced Shakhtar Donetsk today that they're in serious need of a sharp finisher with good experience.

Robert Lewandowski is not very old. He is younger than Ronaldo, he is still 35 years old. I think Lewandowski can continue his career until 40 years old if he can solve the injury problem. He still can play quite well although he is no longer scoring many goals as previous seasons due to injury. I assume Barcelona will do their best to solve the injury of Lewandowski, they still need Lewandowski because they have lack of good strikers. IMO, Lewandowski seems to stay in Barcelona until the end of his contract (June 30, 2026). There are 3 years left, it is still quite long time. But if the injury can't be solved, it is surely possible that Lewandowski leaves soon. Barcelona needs a striker who can fit in each match. Barcelona will agree with the highest offer, it is probably the offer from Saudi clubs.
