I don’t see why you placed Maguire well ahead of Rashford in terms of clear out because I have not practically seen anything he has done. Yes Rashford is short of confidence and consistency but that stops him from tracking back to defend with others or closing down the midfield to help his mates. If we talk about only this two players and who needs to go first I will say Rashford because he looks like a player that isn’t interested in playing football with a 400k wage, Maguire has shown intent or zeal of someone having the team at the back of his mind and would be a great squad player rather than a first team player.

But should United decided on a larger clear out i will leave only this players; Bruno Fernandez, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Gernacho, Diogo Dalot, Wan Bissaka, Mason Mount, Martinez, Onana, Hojlund and Amad

Manchester United have been struggling but they're also in for the top winnings this season. Manchester United won against Sheffield United 4-2 and its a deserving victory for them, always ambitious to climb further on the table and hitting on the new unlocked levels as an elite team. Harry Maguire have come through for Manchester United this season. It's been one of the immense contributing figure for the team's progress. Erik Ten Hag acknowledged the players that displayed there best and upgrade the standards of the club.

This season, Tuchel joined Bayern Munich extremely determined to ensure that he makes an impact as a top tier coach considering his team strength too but sadly his zeal didn't just give him the desired result as Munich drew back in performances, lost the league trophy and are even on a scaly ground at the moment where anything is bound to happen at the end of every game. Thesame situation goes for United although the English side had this issue starting before now but it only got worse this season with Hag in the manager's stand.

 Ten Hag hasn't done just for this team and it'll only be proper that he's evicted. Now if he's evicted there has to be a replacement. Considerations are being made and carefully observing the English squad, they need someone more profound and strong handed with an already grounded skill to take up the position but if Tuchel is being an option right now, I really can't vouch for him because as a coach, he's failed to take and keep Bayern Munich's face up in the crowd even with all the caliber of players he had for himself to work with.

 Winning the UCL is really going to be a challenge for them and so his effect in United may be seen but it may not necessary be that cumbersome to cause a profound change but still there's no harm in trying. United players aren't as good as Munich players but they can still be worked on. Although for me the general team needs therapy and a more scrupulous working environment to keep them up to the task but we just have to hope that next season favors them.

It is not surprising if Giroud finally will leave AC Milan, he is 37 years old already. AC Milan must plan to sign a new striker with a younger age for the next season. AC Milan can't rely on Giroud, he is too old to be the mainstay striker for AC Milan. He is also getting difficult to score goals, his productivity looks decreasing quite a lot in this season. Giroud simply can't be the machine goal of AC Milan anymore. So, it is the time for AC Milan to sign a new striker.

Yep. Giroud has made the right decision to join MLS. The level of MLS is much lower than the level of European leagues. Giroud can enjoy playing there without a big pressure like in Serie A or another league in Europe. Moreover, Giroud get a higher salary there, he can get a better financial for few years in MLS. I think he still can play until 40 years old.

Hojlund had good statistics in the Champions League, but he could not keep up with the pace of the Premier League. He contributed to only 7 goals in 25 matches. I admit that he is a young and promising player, but we remember Manchester United with Van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Manchester United forward must be a player who can score every goal. There must be players like Rooney. Not Hojlund.

That means the club needs to sign another defender to replace him if he is out but I guess he would be sold if there is another team that is willing to sign him for atleast $35m but with his quality for now its just not possible yet. I mean he is decent this season but with Onana on the goal line, you just cant expect the club to have a clean sheet everytime they play which is frustating at some point

I personally wanted him out last season but now I want him to stay for another season though

He did well for the French national team in the last World Cup. His Milan career wasn't bad either. He scored 13 goals in 30 league games this season. I think Los Angeles FC made a good signing. MLS will be an easy league for Olivier Giroud. Also, his countryman Hugo Lloris is there. Hugo Lloris will make it easier for him to adapt to the team. Olivier Giroud is not a young player, he is 37 years old, but I am sure he will bring a lot to Los Angeles FC with his experience. I think transfers like this have an important strategic value.

Olivier Girould is one of the luckiest players I have ever seen. He was the main striker at Arsenal then for years and he couldn’t be able to win the Premier League or any European competition, but ones he left to Chelsea, he won the Premier League, Champions League, as well as the Europa League. He then join AC Milan and he was able to win the Italian Seria A title with Milan and he was able to play in the Champions League for like two consecutive years. The main luck is that, he won the World Cup with France as a striker without a shot on goal throughout the tournament.

I am happy for him because he can be able to end his football career there since he is almost achieved all he wanted to achieve in his football career and he is one of the best strikers of this era.

i'm quite doubtful that Hag will stay because reportedly many people, including Manchester United fans, are not sure that he will be able to bring change to Man Utd next season, moreover, there is news that Ten Hag's salary will be cut.
apart from that, Man Utd management also gave an ultimatum that if Man Utd does not qualify for the Champions League then all their salaries will be cut by 25%. 

from what i can see, up to now man utd is not compact, it is difficult for ten hag to unite the team, in contrast to man city, pep guardiola managed to make his team very compact with each other, ten hag's position is quite bad actually, but i'm still curious whether he will be fired or given a chance by management.

Erik ten hag Always showing his cluelessness, I remember how hard he was pushing for the signing of Hojlund and now after one season he needs another striker, this is high time we the United board let him leave because in my opinion he has nothing else to offer to the red devils than what we have seen so far, at least there are good available coaches with years of experience and trophies to their name , if he stays till next season it will be disastrous for Manchester United, in my opinion he lacks the experience to coach a team like Manchester United.

That was quite a good choice and I think the MLS is the far better place for professional football players to find their peace, earn some good money in a not so competitive league and have an environment with high life quality. I am sure that Giroud had offers from the Saudi Professional League, but if someone really wants to combine memories and great experiences with professional football in a place where it is still enjoyable, the MLS is the place to go I think.

Sure, if it is all about the money, I think no clubs from any league can seriously compete with Saudi Arabia. But there are still players who are thinking twice about their next step and whether they really want to spend a few years in Saudi Arabia. Finding a nice place to live in or around LA, I think it could get worse. I know that LA is not the nicest place in the world in the eyes of some people, but the possibilities someone has going from there are definitely different than living in Saudi Arabia.

Until now it seems that Liverpool's search to get a replacement for Klopp has not stopped, after previously Alonso was linked with Liverpool but then there was Roberto De Zerbi's name that appeared, not until there even Liverpool reportedly only one step away from getting Amorim from Sporting Lisbon but apparently now began to appear new names that are speculated to coach Liverpool next season, it seems that Liverpool is currently struggling to get a new coach candidate Which is really in line with their expectations and of course the desire of the prospective coach to want to coach Liverpool, because in recent weeks we continue to see some names start to appear as speculation.

When you mention arne slot, honestly I have to open a goggle to find out who he really is, because so far I am not familiar with the coach named arne slot but after seeing his profile maybe not only I don't know about him but I'm sure we here only know him a few because he coaching Feyenoord in the eredivisie,  After seeing his profile of course I was quite surprised, because indeed he is a talented coach and even he managed to achieve many achievements during coaching, besides that he has a game scheme that is almost similar to Klopp so far at Liverpool so I think he will be very suitable to replace Klopp next season.

Having Lloris there is a big advantage for Giroud because he knows the team and the city. I don't think it will feel strange either. There will be neither an English problem nor a culture problem. If he went to Saudi Arabia, maybe he would have problems because of these, but these problems will not automatically occur in the USA. It will be a different excitement for Giroud.

Finally, Olivier Giroud ended his career with European teams after accepting LAFC as MLS League for next season due his contract expiry with AC Milan, in LAFC Olivier Giroud will play with his teams mate on national team Hugo Lloris. Actually is habit transfer for players after leaving the European teams their destination club for playing is MLS League, Olivier Giroud still not oldest because he was 37 years old and currently perform well with AC Milan by scoring 13 goals of 30 matches in domestic league.
Its very good signing by LAFC team and has chance to make team can get more attention in MLS League competition, lets see with any potential for Olivier Giroud how many goals scoring on the first season such as MLS League not really competitive with European competition.

We have different speculations but Giroud will always been the most important person in his own world of football. It happens that he's not relenting but more focused to accomplish more goals for himself. Olivier Giroud is an important candidate for the club's he featured for during his prime in English clubs and Italy. Giroud have made complete accomplishments in football, winning major titles with clubs and also an important player during the winning of the Russia 2018 world cup.

No issues with Casemiro and Rapheal Varane leaving well understood, bit you see the name Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire? They're not good for enough for this club.
Football has evolved and Manchester United still wants to settle down with a fat, clumsy and lazy defender who has no speed. I will borrow and bet even sof I don't have, Harry Maguire can never make it to Pep Guardiola's team. He is fat, lazy and has no pace in this modern football when you don't need a player like him. He should be axed.

For Rashford, We all know how and what the past managers before Erik Ten Hag has said, He has been horrible, makes no runs when midfielder's are approaching with the ball ( I don't know if he wants to be a defender now ) and also makes too many touch with the ball, this is a player I will never support even if he leaves for another club.

These players without quality needs to leave before Erik Ten Hag, they're just repeating the same cycle of manager sack, knowing quite well that these players are the problem.

Throughout his career in Europe he was at a club that gave him prestigious titles whether in the EPL, League 1, Italian League, and also became an important player in his own country and won the world cup, so overall he has experienced quite important titles so It is possible that he is no longer curious about the title and will start a new journey in a different league. It is possible that he will have to adapt to a league that is different from the European league. At the end of his career, it turns out that he decided to follow Lionel Messi to MLS and not follow Ronaldo in The SPL is that these two leagues are very different and any decision is in the hands of the players, both leagues both provide fantastic salaries.

This decision has been made for Giroud's future when he will soon retire and I read from other people's replies here that Giroud signed a contract until 2025 and that means he will end his contract in MLS when he is 39/40 years old and means he will probably decide to retired after competing in MLS.
Giroud is one of the players famous for his greatness and the history he provided while playing for all the clubs he has played for and will always be remembered and it is sad to see this player have to go to MLS, but this decision was a wise decision for himself.

He did well for the French national team in the last World Cup. His Milan career wasn't bad either. He scored 13 goals in 30 league games this season. I think Los Angeles FC made a good signing. MLS will be an easy league for Olivier Giroud. Also, his countryman Hugo Lloris is there. Hugo Lloris will make it easier for him to adapt to the team. Olivier Giroud is not a young player, he is 37 years old, but I am sure he will bring a lot to Los Angeles FC with his experience. I think transfers like this have an important strategic value.

It's good for Barcelona, but how about De Jong? Is he interested in leaving the club to take on a new challenge in another club?I don't think so. Even though the new offer came from a big club but it does not guarantee that De Jong will accept it caused by he may be doing the opposite thing like snubs it. I recall last season's drama in which Barcelona offered him to another club but he refused, even de jong was stating that he would never leave Barcelona until the end of his contract. There is also an interesting fact that came from the Manchester united said club has agreed to buy him from barcelona. Barcelona was not only offering de Jong to Bayern, but also to Manchester United. We know that MU has always been connected to him even since last seasons. Barcelona really needs to remove him from the club in order to add the new player to strengthen the club.
Things are not easy for de Jong, given that Barcelona may be in trouble again, and de Jong will be repeating last season's problem by refusing Barcelona's offer to leave the club and forcing himself to stay in Catalan.


It's not even a mistake. Barcelona has so many midfielders. Do you think club needs to keep all of em?



Xavi has urges laporta to get some money to buy the new player. That's the only chance owned by laporta to keep xavi stay in the club.

Tuchel did a really good job in his first season with Chelsea as he won the Champions League title. It was a really tough work to do with that kind of a game plan but Chelsea made it. As he has good memories with a Premier League team maybe he might do a good job with Manchester United as well who knows. He isn't a bad manager at all. 

If Erik ten Hag is given another chance then he should be given the freedom to build a better squad for next season. Because they are desperately in need of adding better players and sending the worst ones. Fernandes shouldn't be sold, it doesn't make sense. Rashford also shouldn't as he isn't a bad player actually. Maguire should definitely be leaving immediately or shouldn't be given any chance.

In my personal opinion, it is not going to be a very good decision for Barcelona. Because even though I understand that they need a lot of money right now, I do not think they will actually be able to replace the players if they actually sell them. Let's think about this, Barcelona does sell them right now, which are the players that are of the same level as them who are going to be interested in joining Barcelona at this moment?

I don’t think there are many players like that. And even if there is, those players will also be targeted by other big clubs. And we all know from that point on, it is all about money. so I personally think it is going to be a mistake if Barcelona decides to sell them because they are a very important part of Barcelona right now. and the money is probably not going to be worth it.
