If we look at it realistically, in order to return to the French national team, Pogba will have to show something extraordinary, the competition there is very high and Pogba will be 32 years old in 4 months. I would rather believe that Pogba did not agree to move to Saudi Arabia because the offer was not interesting enough - it is unlikely that the Saudis want to overpay for a footballer who does not have top options.
Pogba is a great player, i can't wait to see him back on the pitch not just any team but a top class team in any of the most obvious league. I support his motion of declining the move to Saudi, it will no longer pick the interest of any top team later on even if he has goods record while playing there, it is very difficult to move from Saudi to a much competitive league, Saudi is where players go before retirement not valid for his age that can still be able to complete potentials in any of these teams.

That's the whole point. He's almost 32 now and he can earn good money in Saudi Arabia, and work for it honestly. Or do you think that in Saudi Arabia you don't have to strain yourself at all and you can go there when your physical capabilities don't allow you to play in Europe? That's far from true now.
I don't understand why players like Pogba, KDB, etc. are thinking and waiting for, these opportunities will not always be available.
But nevertheless, according to rumors, Pogba is close to moving to Marseille.

True, as far as we have seen, Zirkzee and Hojlund have not been able to meet the expectations according to their prices. If Manchester United is ambitious to become a title challenger, then the management should recruit players who are sharper than the two strikers. However, who knows Zirkzee and Hojlund will develop better when handled by Ruben Amorim, maybe previously they had difficulty playing and understanding the strategy implemented by Ten Hag. I think, for this season Ruben Amorim will continue to rely on his two strikers. Manchester United style of play in the future will certainly change completely, adjusting to the wishes of the new coach. At Sporting CP, Ruben Amorim implemented an attacking style of play with a three-defender formation, and this will make the players in the front line more productive.
I support your opinion and this makes more sense. However Amorim is impossible to replace the two players this season and in my opinion, Amorim will still try to see how much the performance of the two players to be relied upon in each match.
If until the end of the second season the player does not make a big contribution, I am sure Amorim prefers to bring in the players he has been after and sells some players who do not have a positive impact on the team.

I agree with you, I think the Saudi Pro League is the best option for Pogba. He can earn a lot of money there and play in an easier league. Also, Europe's elite leagues have many question marks for Pogba. But the Saudi Pro League can hide his flaws. On the other hand, the good scenario holds many hopes for Pogba. But if things don't go well for Pogba in Arabia, his career could suddenly take a turn for the worse. Whatever league he plays in, he should make the most of this opportunity.
If there are no big teams in Europe to make an offer, Pogba is better to move to Saudi teams. Sure, Saudi teams will give a higher salary for Pogba. They also probably guarantees Pogba to be the main player there. Pogba is still in prime age, he deserves to play regularly in the main lineup. Al Nassr and Al Ahli seem to try signing a new top midfielder because they still have lack of top players in their midfield line. Meanwhile Al Hilal and Al Ittihad seems to have enough top players in their midfield line currently. By the way, if Pogba can play well in SPL, he may get another chance to play in France national team anymore.

Pep Guardiola is reported to have extended his service with Manchester City until 2027. It is known that his contract with The Citizen will end at the end of the 2026 season and many speculate that Pep Guardiola will leave Man City and he will switch to become a national team coach to achieve new challenges and achievements that he has always wanted to conquer, namely the World Cup, but because of his love for Man City, it seems he wants to stay longer and win many titles so that he can become a historic coach for Man City and this must be happy news for Man City fans because they have loved the coach.

Source : Pep Guardiola extends contract at Man City
Ohh wow, that sounds great !
Really, Pep Guardiola is extending his contract with Manchester city. If this really happened, indeed, it will be a good stance for a club. Because of the way people look at Manchester City in a dignified way, they only look at it because of Pep. He turned Manchester City from a lay club to a prominent one. Everyone agrees on this thing. Before Pep, people look down on Manchester City. They were very weak in European competition, even sometimes they don't even qualify. So Pep has given a lot to the club since he brought in Manchester City rear coaching. Manchester City also won several Premier league titles and even the Uefa Champion League. Also won many domestic and cup titles. So Pep literally put Manchester City on the list of big clubs. 
 
So it's mean to say that's this very proud and exciting news for Manchester City fans that the world's best coach has decided to sign another 2 years contract.

They already have Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund what else do they need a new striker for?
Both players has failed to perform has expected for the team to become better, definitely it us expected for any new Manchester United coach to go for a proper striker especially when they know how poor the current attacks are in making better used  of chances created in many games. I hope Ruben Amorim can make a better decision on players to sign than Erik Ten Hag whose picks often turn out poorly for the team.

Their squad in attack is not short of players only lacking mentality in finishing so there is no need to return to stacking strikers especially for old strikers like Lacazette. What they need is a player who can patch up the defense in the condition of the players who are currently hit by a storm of injuries long enough to make Madrid have to try to patch up this position more.


I agree with this because if they really wanted a striker then why would they let Joselu go at the start of this season, even though he is still very useful if used as a back-up option in Madrid's rotation.

For some reason, I always don't like Ancelotti's way of looking as if there are no big problems in his squad. Although I quite agree that the reasons for their player's confidence in being able to survive conditions like this reflect that he really believes in the player, of course there must be several other considerations that must be taken into account.
Currently they have several injured defenders and some of them will definitely be recovering until the end of this season because of their ACL. Seeing this, Ancelotti should pay more attention to more important things first because Alaba, Carvajal and Militao still have a long time to recover and even if they recover, the worst possibility is that they will have to re-adapt so it is clear that there must be other options to improve their performance in conditions like this.
Because in the end, Ancelotti's initial standards and expectations of Mbappe were so great that it seemed that Joselu's presence was not needed but they did not realize that Mbappe's most comfortable position was a winger not a targetman which made there were several changes that wanted to be made including looking for an old striker.

But actually for now the striker is not a priority that must be prioritized by Madrid because after all there is still a defense that they must condition first and if possible look for a play maker who can indeed make a big contribution in passing. Although not like Kroos, they must find the closest player because for now Madrid's attacking flow sometimes always utilizes the width of the field with speed but there is no combination in their passes that makes the attack easier to read by the opponent.

If United wants a change in a short time, of course, the club must support the program desired by the coach. bButmaybe United have some considerations for their finances. But if Amorim intends to get Osimhen, I don't think the club will lose. Except with what Ten Han did, some of the transfers that were made were not successful enough.
Amorim must have seen the performance of his players and saw some parts that still need to be strengthened. In this case of course there will be players who leave and some will come. Napoli asked very much for Osimhen.
It will only be a hope with speculation because in the end even though Manchester United supports all the steps that Amorim takes but for success in the end there will be no such thing as success in a short time because surely it takes time to take so for now when Manchester United complies with what Amorim wants to do, it is only a way and hope that Amorim can be comfortable and can manage Manchester United's performance well at least to improve the situation they currently have.

But for some actual player transfers if in the end Amorim can use the same players as Ruud did in the last few matches I don't think they need to overhaul massively for January because this can indeed be used as an arena for Amorim to see which players are right for him in the future so that Manchester United's condition is more solid again.

First of all I don’t think they are anybody who would have actually thought of the current dilemma and as such just to work they had to honor Joselu who was the one home self to hand in transfer request.

As for This Ancelloti actually was confident of the attackers and nothing bad there we all thought that the arrival of Mbappe was a blockbuster but everything isn’t going as planned which is not good but also not the fault of the people.

As for the defensive aspect where Madrid are short off in the first team I think the board was the cause of the problem because it was first of all the saga which even involved Manchester United player Leny Yoro, with Madrid not having David Alaba back they wanted Yoro but wanted him in way too much less than the evaluation that the Lille board rated him and when Madrid fell out of the deal they decided not go for another player again which was the reason why they are in this defensive mess, I think they will actually break their own rule this time around and sign new players by January
Mentioning Joselu does not mean that I do not respect this player because in the end I really respect the decision he made but in the end the decision was made when Madrid felt that from the start their strikers were enough even without Joselu and now they are receiving the impact of what they decided in the transfer last summer where conditions did not go well made them think hard that there was a problem in their attack but actually it was not a problem of lack of strikers but the mentality and placement of players who were not too precise that made Madrid difficult to adapt and maintain their goal productivity.

For other conditions where they break the rules or not, it is actually not a benchmark because there is no rule that they cannot bring in players in January, as long as it still has a good impact on their changes then it is not wrong for them to try to do it rather than putting forward the ego by convincing themselves that their defense is strong with several injured players that will only make Ancelotti look arrogant with his inability to control the squad.
I like Ancelotti for some reasons but on the other hand for some decisions he always seems to have a lot of pros and cons especially for player issues and player transfers.

After arrived to Manchester United Ruben Amorim is starting to thinking to strengthen this team and he has very concern for Manchester United defensive lines this because Amorim feel Manchester United is really necessary to bought more players in this position especially for left back this because he feel Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw who playing on that position is injured prone so Amorim probably want bought at least 1 left back player this January

Actually there are several candidates to buy and one of them is Bournemouth player and Hongary national team player Milos Kerkez and it is confirmed that basically Bournemouth will not hold this player if there is any good offer come to them but to gets Milos Kerkez Manchester United at least have to spend approximatelly 48 million for transfer fees
It's obvious Ruben Amorim would just to release the duo of Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw out Man Utd squad and sign a perfect replacement who can play an inverted right back just like how Man City play their right backs, according to a reliable source Ruben Amorim always play 3:5:2 formation thus the team right backs would have to adjust to his tactics unfortunately the duo of injury-prone Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw can't fit into his style of play, however he would have to manage those players till January transfer window that is the only period he can sign a new right back of his choice, Ruben Amorim first match would be against Ipwich Town on Sunday.

The two left-backs not only don't suit his strategy but they both also tend to spend the season with injured, so it could be said that talent is wasted and it is reasonable if Amorim wants to eliminate those weak points. Frankly, I'm curious how Man United will perform with a 3-4-1-2 (3-5-2) strategy because it was a new thing for them. Will they be able to adapt quickly and make them improve greatly or will they become even more devastated?

As I recall, Solskjaer also used 3 defenders before, but he did not use it for long because it didn't seem to work out well enough.

If his target is to return to the French national team, he must find a club that is ready to guarantee him regular playing time and he must also help himself to return to his best form. Playing in the Arab League would rule out the possibility of him returning to the French national team because the level of competition there is not like in the top 5 European leagues. The January transfer window will open up opportunities for him to get a new club, if he does not get the offer he wants, accepting an offer from an Arab club would be better for him than being unemployed.
I mean Saudi league could still make that happen. Look at Kante, he plays at Saudi league and gets paid a huge sum of money while still keeping his position at French national team as well and he was still amazing at euro 2024 as well, we are seeing this becoming a very important situation for the players because they are getting paid a lot but still getting the national team level as well.

Kante was even considered to be bought for a while, but then the salary was way too much and didn't really look like it was a smart move to do that for someone at that age. So, if Pogba goes to a team like Al Nassr for example then we could definitely consider him playing well enough and help Ronaldo and also get back on national team as well. This of course depends on how good he is playing as well, otherwise if he plays terrible then it doesn't matter how many minutes he is getting.

Since you know that it wi take some seasons for Amorim to win a title, that's the reason why Amorim needs good and professional players like Osimhen who he can work with so that they can both put United back to their glory days.

If Amorim can get the players he wants ASAP, I believe that he will do his job perfectly and we would see a new Manchester United. Osimhen is a player that loves playing with passion for his club and that has always paved way for him in scoring goals.

If United wants a change in a short time, of course, the club must support the program desired by the coach. bButmaybe United have some considerations for their finances.

He's going to be a top striker playing for Manchester United, but I hope he'll be willing to wait for Manchester United to get things together before he start demanding the club gives him a major trophy as Manchester United aren't in a position to start competing for titles as they're yet to get the club in sharp. They have a new manager and it'll take some season for him to start showing strong contentions for the premier league title or even the champions league title but still, a move to Manchester United is going to be a great move and an upgrade for him from the club and league he's currently playing at. Napoli shouldn't sabotage this deal if Manchester United are serious about it.

If Manchester united are ever going to get another striker and are willing to spend €100m on one ( that's Osimhen release clause except Napoli brings it down) I think Amorim would want to bring Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon with the same release clause, he's also as good as Osimhen but Amorim would like to work with him instead.

They already have Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund what else do they need a new striker for?

Several coaches in previous times have ignored that area because they kept depending on Luke shaw and signing midclass players to support him, well it failed cause Shaw kept having series of injury and his replacement were not reliable, even though Amorin doesn't work on some other positions that needs new good signings he shouldn't fail to buy a suitable leftback that would permanently replace Luke Shaw and last the club for a longer period cause Shaws replacement is due, Manchester United has been patient with him enough yet he still battles with injury every season. Well, apart from Kerkez, their are other players that's been monitored for that position, like Alphonso Davies, he's a suitable player and would be perfect for that position but then Real Madrid is also targeting him and could make signing him tough for Manchester United therefore Kerkez is another better alternative if they fail to sign Davies, he's cheaper and has premier league experience.

Osimhen charm has not faded even though there was a dispute with Napoli which resulted in him being crossed out from the squad list led by Antonio Conte. He was forced to move to Galatasaray on loan to get playing time to maintain his fitness. With his new club, he managed to amaze everyone with his performance, now several clubs are starting to show interest in bringing him in, including Manchester United who want to give €30 million + Zirkzee to Napoli to get him to Old Trafford.

He's going to be a top striker playing for Manchester United, but I hope he'll be willing to wait for Manchester United to get things together before he start demanding the club gives him a major trophy as Manchester United aren't in a position to start competing for titles as they're yet to get the club in sharp.

As far as I know, Real Madrid already has several star players who play in the front line but I just read the news on Twitter that Real Madrid is targeting Alexandre Lacazette to recruit in the January transfer market, I wonder why Real Madrid recruited the French striker? even though he is already 33 years old while Madrid already has good strikers at the moment but I think he might be used as a second-string player if one of Madrid's strikers gets injured I see his statistics at Lyon are also quite good in the last few seasons.

I think the ability for Ancelotti to play without a striker makes him quite different from other managers, though that doesn't mean that we didn't enjoy Madrid playing with a proper striker like Benzema. Since the departure of Benzema, I actually thought that brahim diaz could easily fill the slot(though he did in terms of performance), but it seems Ancelotti wanted something or someone else. To be honest, I don't think that mbappe has been able to fill in that slot of Benzema, and I'm not sure if that's going to happen anytime soon because he plays better as a winger. But if this rumor happens to be true, then we might see some players using the exit, because I believe real Madrid already have the qualities in their team.

I can't believe with my eyes, Manchester United is requesting to loan Kolo-Muani from PSG. They do it caused by their financial issue. They are asking PSG to let him out from there, though, i doubt PSG letting him leave even as a loan.
It's high likely just a rumor, Amorim is too aggressive and want to sign any players he likes, he should sign underrated players instead of overrated players. When the players are from England, Brazil and France, the price went up to 2-10x than other players with similar performance.
Hopefully, yes, but who knows. Many doubted Manchester United when they linked to the Ugarte, but they did bought him from PSG. The same thing can happen to the Kolo Muani as well. As long as they take him on loan, it doesn't sound bad at all.

Manchester United was really underperform in their xG. That is because their attackers were  performing so poorly, often doing improper finishing. Who knows Kolo Muani may fix it.
