Something really needs to be done, because since the start of the 2018/19 season, they have spent 1 billion euros to sign new players and only raised 235 million by getting rid of those considered unnecessary to the club and still continued to do very poorly. In any case, this is a lot of money spent for little result as only Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain spent more money in the same period, but none of United's main rivals earned less from their transfers.
In short... the English team's huge lack of success is certainly due to the huge waste of money and the lack of experience in good financial management.

I hope that United will now be more intelligent in the transfer market, that they will be able to act more quickly to recognize and sign rising players for lower prices and that will bring them better results.

I don't know if Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos group will manage well, but I don't think it can get any worse than it already is.

Xavi must be easier to develop Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich basically has a better squad. Bayern Munich has quality and experienced players in any lines. The problem of Bayern Munich is only about the mentality of the players and the tactics. Xavi is experienced enough of these problems, it won't be a difficult matter for him. As long as Xavi is supported by good financial to complete the squad, I also believe he will be successful in Bayern Munich. It is very different in Barcelona, Xavi has no ability to buy expected players because of the financial crisis there.

Man United and Chelsea are aware that they won't have a chance to hire Xavi. Man United and Chelsea are average teams only, Xavi must expect to play in bigger clubs that often compete for the titles in each season. Also, these teams are complicated teams, they have too many problems. It is quite doubtful that Xavi wants to risk his career into these teams.

Latest news about the departure issue of Xavi.

Managing an elite team sometimes is very hard to handle because of the intensity and much pressure from the management due to the high expectancy of results they expect from you. I don’t think Tuchel is not a good manager because he wasn’t able to win the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich but he was just not lucky and he has a better match this season that his tactics supersedes his and didn’t really saw it coming initially. Thomas Tuchel could do well if he joins Manchester United but I don’t foresee see that any time now. Manchester United are in need of a great manager that will give them results immediately. Due to the recent performance of Tuchel as a manager, he might not suit for that position for them but I still believe he’s a manager that can give good results when carried along.

There is no doubt that Xavi will succeed at Bayern, I don't like this idea, because Bayern feels like a comfort zone for a good manager to gain success. Xavi has faced a big challenge at Barca, he succeeded to win a league trophy while they have big financial problem. I think he needs a bigger challenge to fulfill his tactical idea in a more competitive league for a big club.

There are some options for Xavi like Chelsea, Milan or Liverpool. Premier League and Serie A seem to be more competitive with some teams can be the title contender, unlike La Liga and Bundesliga. I think many football fans want to see how Xavi will progress his managerial career, because, as a player, he was an intelligent players who had vision to read the game very well. People are expecting his tactics ability to fulfill in a more challenging league.

If i am not mistaken Casemiro was transfered from Real Madrid on summer 2022 with 70 millions transfer fee and he was performing well when he was first time arrive to Manchester United last season and he even can bringing this team to finish at 3rd place and gets Carabao Cup trophy so that's why last winter some of Saudi Arabian Clubs were showing their interest to him and even there was a club who willing to buy with 70 millions too but unfortunately this transfer was never happend because Casemiro has decide to stayed much longer with Manchester United

But unfortunately Casemiro performance this season was decline he was performing poorly with Manchester United and Casemiro also often to gets injured so that's why Manchester United are thinking possibility to sell him this summer and bought the replacement of him and indeed some of Saudi Arabian clubs will attempts again to bought him and if Casemiro want money then moved to Saudi Pro League will be good option because i am sure he will earn a lot of money at there

That's why I said that club selection is important and Lukaku couldn't do that in his prime and now he might be able to improve but not like before considering his age it's obviously harder for him to get back to his prime unless he has a robot soul like Ronaldo who doesn't seem to look at age when it comes to performance.

At the moment he just has to focus on how to bring Roma because it is a choice that cannot be changed given his age.
Besides, he does have a good fit with Serie A and Lukaku should capitalise on that for his old age before not being able to contribute properly and completely walking away from his professional career.

Irrelevant discussion's is all I see and read. All crap and bullshit, and I don't blame people here who open their mouths and use them hands to write shit about Cristiano Ronaldo. I blame him for agreeing to return to Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson ringed him.

Most of you here do not even know how to play football not to even talk about watching football, I don't know how y'all watch football, at least try to listen to the commentary to get some valuable informations.

Cristiano Ronaldo was never the problem of Manchester United, it's the same way with Erik Ten Hag. As much as the glazers are still owners Manchester United will never be stable. Go back to Louis Van Gaal, David Moyes, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunner Solskjaer and Ralf Ragnick, take a good look at the complains made by these coaches before blasting Erik Ten Hag. Just like I said, most of you writers here are no good viewers of football.

Dragging is something I won't do now, because, I know better. I'm wishing Erik Ten Hag all the best, if he won't be sacked fine. But if he would, Good luck in the next phase of his career. Louis Van Gaal warned him anyways.

Xavi will do very well if he go to Bayern Munich. Xavi has shown his managerial qualities by winning titles for Barcelona at a time when Barcelona where deeply in financial crisis. But he managed the little resources available for him and bring in players who did perfectly well for the club. If he goes to Bayern Munich where he has more quality players Xavi will excel there. Not just Bayern Munich alone, why not Manchester United or Chelsea go for Xavi? Xavi has a good CV and his pattern of football will be transform any club he manage provided he can access quality players he wants.

The casting choices are criticized more than Erik Ten Hag's performance. This situation is clearly seen in the other players, especially Antony. If Manchester United want to return to their former quality, I think they should first fire Erik Ten Hag from the team and move on with an experienced coach. If Manchester United wants to go back to the good old days, they need to renew their squad from scratch.

First of all although he has said that he will be leaving his post at the end of the season despite any result that they might get at the end, pretty sure that Barcelona will not let him go. They probably will offer him another lucrative short term contract because its kinda hard for them to find another coach that will pitch in Xavi's position because I believe they are still having financial issue

I said this before that Xavi might leave because he always hold his own words but he could probably step down for a while and take a rest for a whole season before coming back to Barcelona just in case if the new coach is not working out in Barcelona's favour. Its pretty hard to picture Xavi to coach another team though

Tuchel is indeed one of the experienced coaches where he has managed to recruit many trophies with the team he coached, but appointing Tuchel for Nagelsman who can keep Bayern Munich on the winning path is an absolute mistake of Bayern Munich management at that time, Tuchel was in a difficult situation after he failed to meet the expectations expected by Chelsea and frankly I was quite surprised why Tuchel could be the choice of management At that time there when many other good coaches they could get if they really wanted to replace Nagelsman.

For now, we have not heard of any approach made by Munich towards other coaches after Alonso decided to stay at Leverkusen, but if only speculated of course maybe Zidane could be the right choice for Munich later, but I think at the moment Zidane is being closely linked with Manchester United so maybe Bayern Munich need a harder performance to be able to get Zidane next season.  
Btw so far I haven't heard of any clubs making an approach with Xavi after he decides to quit his post at the end of the season, shouldn't Bayern Munich also consider Xavi as coach?

I'm reading a lot of comments on this thread talking about a rumor that the Manchester United coach would be fired, man, although I think he should be fired. From what I can see, this is unlikely to happen. The owners of Manchester United will not fire the coach, the owners of Manchester United will not sell many Manchester United players. look at what happened when ronaldo was at manchester united. At that time Ronaldo wasn't playing because the coach didn't want him to play and even though the team was having bad results, the Manchester United management didn't do anything. The management of Manchester United sided with the coach and when Ronaldo gave that controversial interview, the management of Manchester United quickly sent Ronaldo away

In those days, one of the owners of Manchested United said the following:

reading everything that one of the owners of manchester united said, it doesn't seem to me that he would fire the manager of manchester united anytime soon.

I don't understand Bayern's management, Tuchel is a good coach and deserves another chance. But unfortunately Bayern's management doesn't seem to see this. I hope Tuchel can find a good team next season. he would be good for barcelona

Manchester United is an elite team though they don't stretch for winning. Erik Ten Hag simply Ronaldo to be the problem of Manchester United but looks who's the problem now? It's obviously clear, Manchester United players are inefficient to deliver good jobs and handle their lead mostly under pressure. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to impress his supporters with his consistent performance, we watch his rise and fall form in the Red Devils jersey. The same scenario happen to other players before him. In the case of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, Romelu Lukaku from Everton, Edin Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain, Amrabat from Fiorentina and Anthony from Ajax, there's more to mention. All these mentioned players have their peak moments in the 1-3 games played but couldn't do well in other matches.

Well tuchel has his reputation and what not but am still aslo not in support of trying to salvage a team with problems with another team that's currently struggling and trying to meet up to keep and maintain their same previous glory and performance. Tuchel has done and did a wonderful work at Chelsea but since then he is also a man with struggles in the rest clubs he has managed and if am to suggest a good coach, I think zidane is a good fit.

maybe you are right, he is still very young, Darwin Nunez has the opportunity to grow and become a good striker. but I don't know,Liverpool want to keep him and see him grow at the Reds or not? Of course, if we look at Mohamed Salah history, Chelsea couldn't see his talent. However, in Liverpool, Salah could become a striker who managed to score more than 200 goals. If Salah decides to leave, and the same opportunity is given to Darwin, maybe Liverpool can make him a replacement striker for Salah but must be better, by providing a good portion of training and matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo failed in his second spell at Manchester United and became almost an unwanted figure. While trying to leave Manchester United, he held transfer talks with all the clubs competing in the Champions League. When no club agreed to sign him, he resorted to joining the Arabian league as a last resort. If even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't succeed in a team, then nobody can. That's what I wanted to say.

Antony didn't perform well at Manchester United apart from his strange signature move, but we know what he achieved at Ajax. We also know what Mason Greenwood did in Spain. I think these two pieces of data give us a good idea. Antony can regain confidence in the Spanish La Liga.

It is not only the club that needs to be overhauled but all of things in the club not only players or coach. The management must also be overhauled by sir him in order to make the club to perform better.So many problems are also caused by management that was so poorly in managing the club, which is also a major issue here. The scouting team was also frequently involved in recruiting useless players such as Anthony, Mason, and even Sancho, who was loaned to Dortmund.

The only best solution for the club is to hire a new coach while selling several players who aren't even worthy of staying with the club any longer just like antony, meguire or any players who performed so badly. I strongly support the decision to fire him.
I'm not particularly interested in which coach Sir Jim will recruit. As long as it is reputable coach and he has a good history in coaching the club. Alternative plan will be added by sir jim.

I would prefer to the conte or even amorim. Kindly wait till we will know the result of tuchel in UCL. If he will be successfully getting UCL trophy again this season and i strongly believe tuchel is still worthy enough to coach united. Let's wait for the process of tuchel in UCL.
Perhaps, sir jim has prepared an alternative solution for this. Im strongly believe tuchel will not be the only name prepared by united for the next head coach for the club.

This guy is 39 years old. I don't know where he is going to next. But I believe he is still going to be a good performer for a mid-level club. But recently we are watching that almost every player at this age likes to go to Saudi league. Is there a chance for him to do that?

Fluminense which is his boyhood club, he is reported to go to there. I don’t know if this is true or not. I am just hearing this. Could be a rumor as well. He can definitely get a lot more money if he actually goes to the Saudi league. He does not have much time left in his career at 39 years of age. So he should choose wisely. But at the same time, someone can make the argument that he has also earned a lot of money so far in his career. So maybe he can actually follow his heart.

Anyway the way Chelsea is performing right now, I see some other players moving away from Chelsea as well. I mean other important players.

What you are saying is true, at the moment it is not only Ten Hag who is the cause of Manchester United's slump, but I think as a coach who has the duty and authority to improve the performance of players and also bring in players, of course Ten Hag is fully responsible for the destruction of Manchester United, I am quite sure that by clearing Ten Hag from the squad of course they will be able to rise if indeed Manchester United can find a coach other good one in this regard is certainly not Tuchel, Anthony is a good player and has advantages as a striker and we can see how Manchester are willing to buy him at a great price after he was able to score a lot of goals at Ajax, as for Rashford, wasn't it before Ten Hag came that he had been one of the players who was quite dangerous with his skill and speed?
But in fact now they cannot show a good performance under ten hag.

Whether a player is good or not in playing of course depends on the strategy scheme and also the coaching method applied by the coach, a real example that we can see today is Sancho, I think he came to Manchester as a star player from Dortmund, but under Ten Hag didn't his performance deteriorate and make him have to be loaned to Dortmund,  But we can see how Sancho is now able to show his capacity as a great left winger under the training of Edin Terzic.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe creating good hype after having some media talks about coming season of the club even right now we have nothing official about this all with if we have won for the Manchester United into FA Cup then surely we can expect another chance for the Ten Hag and in case of failure still nothing is clear as is he going or staying we have to wait until end of the season which could be better time for giving own views and having better idea.

There is no doubt we are having too many problems for the Manchester United on and off the field which are needed to be fixed if they want to have better performance so if Eric Ten Hag able settle this all and also having players which can give him better results then surely we can expect his spell could be long and healthy for the club but currently just we have to wait for their performance in remaining matches.
