Manchester United are still entangled with Erik Ten Hag and they have not been bold enough to make that big decision to do away with Ten Hag. I think that should be the first step to take before wanting Simone Inzaghi who I also doubt will want a move from Inter Milan to a struggling club like Manchester United. Who will even want to leave a team like Inter Milan that’s doing very well to come and struggle at Manchester United and still face pressure of getting sacked if you fail to turn things around after few months? I don’t see that happening. Manchester United will have to look for another replacement for Ten Hag, why is Manchester United not looking inwards to get one of their former players to become the club’s manager like Ryan Giggs?

Simone Inzaghi will not leave Inter for United. There is currently no chance of United signing Simone Inzaghi. It is possible that United will stick with Ten Hag until they find a suitable replacement. Regarding Giggs, after retiring from the Wales national team, he did talk about his desire to coach again soon. It should be considered, but I think the chances are also small. Now what United management is thinking about is transforming their team to be better instantly. The results must be seen immediately in a few matches, they will look for a more experienced coach.

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has just announce that he would be retired from football in this month and currently he is 40 years old and last time he was play with Emirates FC on season 2023/2024 and after his contract ended with this team currently Iniesta have no club and Iniesta said he has been reach his limit that with his current age it is impossble to continue playing and managed his fitness condition so that's why Iniesta has decide to retired.

He's looking very old and I don't know why he didn't end his career since when he was playing at top form. If I was a player, I'll rather end my career at the top than to keep playing and destroy all the legacy that I have created when I was playing at my peak. I also saw that some individuals are angry that Fabrizio Romano made the announcement before Andres Iniesta got the opportunity to make the announcement himself. I do not see anything wrong with that decision as he's a journalist and his job is to give us information about footballers and he was just doing his job. Andres Iniesta had a very successful career and he'll be retiring as a league in the game.

Simone Inzaghi is having a perfect performance in Inter Milan and this made the fans happy so far. Also, Inter Milan wants to have in this coach on the team for a long time because of the performance they have seen so far from Simone Inzaghi in both Serie A and the Champions League, Inter Milan is aiming for both the title of Champions League and the Serie A title.
But now it seems Mcnahter United wants to hire Simone Inzaghi for their teams while I don't think if Simone Inzaghi will ever leave Inter Milan for a team like Manchester United considering the situation they have in the Premier League. Maybe they should find another coach to fill the place of Ten Hag in this team.

INEOS will fire ETH definitely, there is no scenario where he keeps his job, it's just about when that will be. This isn't the last year of his contract, he still has time, so it's clear that he expects to manage the team next season. But I am writing right here, I guarantee you that ETH will not manage the team next season. Either he will be fired soon if the team gets worse and worse, or he is going to be fired at the end of the season.

The only possible way that he doesn't get fired, would be getting some wins to keep the team going up in standings, and then win something, sure they won't win the premier league, but what if they win Europa this season? They started terrible but that doesn't mean they won't win it, there is a possibility that they could. If something like that happens then maybe he will stay. But I am sure that they will have a season where they win absolutely nothing, and if he keeps getting worse then I am sure he won't even see the end of the season neither.

The only reason he did not get fired in the last season was because he was able to bring in a trophy at the end of the season. That also made Manchester United eligible to play in the Europa League. But I don’t think something like that is going to work this time, I think this time he will have to bring in good results consistently in the English Premier League for him to survive as the coach of Manchester United. And I do not see that happening. I do not see him surviving as the coach of Manchester United for long. Especially with the kind of results that he is bringing in. There was a time when the coaches were given a lot of time to actually work with a certain club. But time is a luxury that nobody can afford anymore. And when all the other coaches are not being given enough time, why should Ten Hag get more time?

Florian Wirtz operation is really on!  Wink

There are four teams said to be after him already according to BILD: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal.

https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/bayer-04-leverkusen/florian-wirtz-diese-klubs-haben-chancen-auf-einen-transfer-66fc03903fca14794a659a31

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are really covetous.  Grin  One of them has Musiala and the other one has Odegaard playing in Wirtz's position. If they sign another super talent like Wirtz it would be harder to make them satisfied at the same time. Oh, I was nearly forgetting about Real Madrid having Bellingham too. The same situation is available for them as well.

But I would understand if he goes to Manchester City. De Bruyne is old and injured now. We don't know when he will return and he is probable to leave next summer.


I thought the rumors related to Florian Wirtz were no longer widely reported, but it seems that this Leverkusen player has more attention. In the last summer transfer window, Florian Wirtz's name was highlighted by several big clubs, and the one that was often linked was Real Madrid. However, until the end of the transfer season, no one had brought him from Leverkusen, if I'm not mistaken, no one even made an official offer, correct me if I'm wrong. In the last few weeks, Florian Wirtz's name has been linked again with big clubs. In fact, elite teams in several leagues have also been linked to wanting the services of this Leverkusen player. In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, the Premier League has City and Arsenal, and the Spanish giants in La Liga, Real Madrid. But I doubt this news, I didn't even read the link shared above. Because, the news is almost the same as in other news in the last week. Any team that is really serious about bringing him from Leverkusen, of course, needs to spend a lot of money and must also be ready to compete with clubs that also want his services. By the way, this player really deserves to move up a level with a bigger team.

Odegaard is under perform in the last two seasons, so Wirtz definitely will be a priority.

But, we're talking about benefit and sustainability, if he join to Arsenal he only receive sustainability since there are no reliable attacking midfielder at the present.

However, if he join to Manchester City he will receive both benefit and sustainability because Manchester City is a team that high likely win Premier League and he will replace De Bruyne which is getting older.

What are you even writing?! Odegaard did what? We all know how important he has been feeling r Arsenal ever since he joined them from Real Madrid. When it comes to playing behind the strikers, Odegaard is the right name to mention. As per Florian Writz, I would love to see him play for either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, but they have so much player's in that role. Could he be the ideal replacement for Luka Modric? Jamal Musiala is one name I want to replace Kevin De Bruyne, I have said it a zillion times since last season. Injury prone Kdb has to go, he's long term ideal replacement is Musiala.

It's true not all players can survive in Premier League, but Wirtz is someone that already play in top 5 league and he's the best player in his team, regardless he survive or not in the new team, he need to move. It's everyone dream to play in top teams, Wirtz also has an option to downgrade if feel the new team not suit with him.

It's a big loss for someone to stuck in comfort zone, staying in Leverkusen will not make him achieve any big thing, similar to Kane and Son that stays in Tottenham.

I partially agree with you, but in my opinion these are incorrect comparisons - Wirtz has already become the champion of Germany and this 100% did not happen in the comfort zone. Taking the title from Bayern while playing in an underdog team does not look like a comfort zone. I would say Kane is trying to get into the comfort zone (where titles will be guaranteed), but so far his plan has only partially succeeded.

But actually the problem is not only about the sustainable benefits but also about whether he can perform optimally like with Leverkusen after joining one of the EPL teams. We all know how competitive the competition is in the EPL while Wirtz has no experience with a team in the EPL. But I agree with you that it would be better for him to join Man City because they have Guardiola who can improve his talent and mentality to become a reliable player than having to be with Arsenal but not having any titles.
Florian Wirtz has become one of the assets that many clubs are fighting for right now, so indeed the possibility of his career and also his wealth will be greatly increased if he accepts an offer from one of those rich teams who want to sign him, in the English league we can see how Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea have expressed their interest but I think it will be difficult to realize because Madrid is a leading team that can be the main rival for they want to get him, yes let's say maybe Florian Wirtz will play for a Premier League club, but we also can't avoid the risks that may exist due to the fierce competition that has existed in the Premier League so far, many talented players actually have to have a bad career in the Premier League and I think it could happen to Florian Wirtz later,  But to be honest, I personally see that he is likely to play for Madrid later, But to be honest, I personally see that he is likely to play for Madrid later, because reportedly currently Madrid will also recruit Alonso as a coach and of course Florian Wirtz will follow where Alonso will go in next season.

It would be better for Wirtz to join Manchester City instead of Arsenal. It will really disappoint me if a very talented player like him joins a club that has no winning mentality. He can step up his career at Manchester and win as many trophies as possible with them.

It's a downgrade if Wirtz joins Arsenal. He'll be benched , this is because he can't compete with Odegaard. His talent will be totally wasted there. And i don't wanna see it happen to him.

Hopefully, Wirtz is smart enough to determine his future.

I made quick research on Florian Wirtz and watched some vides on YouTube based on his level pf performance and i must say he is a remarkable player. That is the reason why big clubs and thriving clubs are going for him. It will be hard decision for Florain Wirtz to make a choice because Manchester City and Real Madrid are current Champions in their individual leagues. Arsenal is currently the best performing team in the EPL right now. Bayern Muich as well has good players are doing well in their league. But who wouldn't want to choose Real Madrid if giving opportunities like this. However, Folrian Wirtz has to understand that his chances at Real Madrid is limited and at Arsenal he would have more chance because Arteta needs a better substitute for Odegard when he is absent. Someone who can make something out of nothing. At Manchester City he is going to seat on the bench for a longer time knowing full well that Pep Guardiola will not keep De Bryne on the bench and let him play. Thats just it. So, he has more chances of going to Arsenal or Mancehster City but likly Arsenal will be the best fit.

If Wirtz wanted to go where would he choose the team? Or will he stay with Leverkusen?
At the moment staying at Leverkusen would be better for his future, there he can continue to develop his talent, especially since he has become an important player in the squad led by Xabi Alonso.

Wirtz's future scenario:
Suppose he chooses Arsenal and this will be a priority as you said then when he is at Arsenal he will find it difficult to get trophies with the Gunners, even though this team is in top form they are still difficult to reach the top.
Arsenal is not the best place for him, he has the potential to be a big star player, there he will struggle to win trophies. He is currently one of the most sought after properties by big clubs, Real Madrid, Man City and Munich are also very interested in using his services. If he wants to move from Leverkusen, one of the three clubs would be better for him.

Maybe De Bruyne will stay one more season... Next summer there is a possibility of him leaving for Arabia.
Then Wirtz can get the position De Bruyne left behind.
Winning the Premier League trophy with Manchester City is still very possible for him.
Man City are also monitoring Wirtz progress, he will be used as part of the long-term project of the English giants. His great talent can be used by Guardiola to replace De Bruyne when his contract expires. Guardiola's ability to develop young players can help his development, his chances of winning the EPL trophy are also very big if he moves to Man City.

It's a tough choice for Wirtz but these 4 big clubs are all worth chasing him. Whichever one he chooses I'll agree, Leverkusen will have to make a bit of a fuss about the price as letting Wirtz go would reduce their sharpness up front. The January transfer season is the perfect time for Wirtz to decide if he wants to seek a new challenge in a different league meaning either Arsenal, Manchester City or Real Madrid. Wirtz chances are unquestionable, he will definitely get an important role because of his qualities not only as a midfielder, he can even be a shadow striker.

If he wants to be a core player in the squad, he must look for a club that has opportunities for him. At Real Madrid it is difficult for him to get a place as a core player because there are many other great players in that position, so on the other hand when he decides to play for Arsenal, he must work hard to get a place and competition with Odegaard will be one of the problems he must face in order to get a place as a core player.

De Bruyne is entering the peak of his career this season or maybe one more season so Wirtz has the opportunity to take that position and Pep Guardiola also understands when he can be placed even though De Bruyne is there. He must see a profitable opportunity before deciding to leave because in any case he must get more playing time.

How possible would Bayer Leverkusen trigger the sell clause of one of the most prominent player last season? I think they're making a mistake because Florian Wirtz is rare talent, his style and pattern varies from the rest crew, I have not seen a player built with so much potentials in Leverkusen in past decades.

Florian Writz surpassed his mates and he's confident with the ball, more reason why Xabi Alonso admired his style and puts him in tough games. With Florian Wirtz, the attacking line of Bayer Leverkusen becomes proactive. Florian Writz and Martin Ødegaard will make good pair if the German accepts the bids from Arsenal. But if he goes to Bayern Munich, he will not receive enough accolades because there are presence of other talented players.

Florian wirtz to arsenal? No, I really don't think it's a logical move for the player and also for arsenal because he is actually too expensive and besides he is to upgrade on martin odegard, so for arsenal spending so much money to acquire his signature when he cant improve the team immediately is actually not a logical approach.

Though, most people may argue that his quality is needed in the team, and competition is also needed in the team for everyone to be on their toe, so as to get the maximum from everyone, sometimes in a situation like that, it might be healthy, sometimes it's not, because surely, their will be unhappy player in their mids which might bring so much unhappiness and destabilization of the team, so in my own opinion, it actually not going to be a right move for the player and too arsenal too, because he is definitely not an upgrade to martin odegard.
Having a player like Florian Wirtz will be a great addition to any team and honestly it will give the team a huge boost in terms of strength and squad depth. Wirtz may not be better than Odeegard but he will help the squad in times like this where Odeegard is out injured. In my opinion I think this will be a good signing if Arsenal can get a deal done but the price tag of this player will be a problem. Arsenal were not willing to splash the cash for a striker in Victor Osimhen in the last transfer window even though they need a striker. Unless Leverkusen lowers their price, however a move to Arsenal will be a good upgrade for Florian.
