People's predictions about Xavi's U-turn are becoming reality since romano reported the latest tweet said xavi changed his mind. I wasn't surprised when Xavi changed his mind again caused by i has marked him as inconsistent coach. I must give him an award as the most inconsistent coach this season. Xavi totally lied about his promise to leave Barcelona at the end of the season and that statement being used to pay the attention from the public. Xavi is constantly making sensational statements to capture the public's attention.

Xavi has now decided to stay in La Liga for another season, implying that Laporta has been successful in convincing him to stay but i think that laporta has also given him very big promise about the club too. Barcelona must sell some players as soon as possible in order to meet Xavi's request to build his own club and probably this is laporta's promise to xavi.
The club has some layers that are ready for cash in. Xavi once again demonstrated his inconsistent nature. It is better for him not to follow Klop's embarrassing statement about leaving the club at the end of the season if he is now deciding to stay.

To be fair Manchester United is right, and I feel like Jim or James or whatever that new owners name, he is right as well. People are expecting so much from them, but the reality is that we are not going to really get that much from everyone, we should be realizing that it is not that simple and we could definitely look at it as something that could take some time.

Fans are always looking for a title at any given season, but the reality is that United is building a good team, they have like 4 great young players, and they are building around them, if they could come up with lets say 2 more next season that would be 6 great young players, and then another 2, and you have yourself a great team that could win it. It is that simple, they just need to wait.

The EPL is survival for the fittest. Manchester United relaxed and led their fans enjoyed every action of the game in both halves. Bruno Fernandes took it upon his shoulders to make dreams come through for Manchester United at Theatre of Dreams. Manchester United epic comeback against Sheffield United was as a result of stellar performance from the Red Devils. Erik Ten Hag instructed his players to be competitive when it comes to mediocre teams and facing them shouldn't be any solid reason.

of the several mistakes that Ten Hag has made, currently there is only 1 mistake that makes me keep thinking, what is the reason for Ten Hag not improving the performance of the players in his defense?
we can see from Man United results in the EPL match that they conceded 50 scores and that indicates that Man United has a very weak defense and as a coach they should be responsible for improving the performance of every line that looks bad but Ten Hag did not make any changes.
meanwhile, Man United fans are sometimes wrong in assessing this problem, sometimes blaming the players even though it is clear that this problem needs to be questioned by the coach who has full responsibility for the future of the team currently managed by Man United.
I have to say that I agree with you that Man United officials this time have to really think about the future of their team to continue to maintain Ten Hag with the same future or choose to look for a new coach to try to get changes in Man United future.

Manchester United almost lost two of their last games and I think even if in the end they managed to come back and win of course it's not a good sign when Manchester United only face weak teams, the games against Coventry and Sheffield United indicate that Manchester United have a lot of problems that need to be resolved immediately by the management, I don't see anything that Manchester United deserve keep  from Ten Hag At the moment, because so far I think Manchester United's main problem is Ten Hag so Sir Jim Ratcliffe should start evaluating Ten Hag's performance at the moment.

Since ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, ten Hag has spent more than 400 million euros on player spending, but so far we have not seen any improvement in Manchester United's performance and even now competing in the Champions League is like something rare for Manchester United, in my opinion, if Manchester United continue to try to keep Ten Hag next season of course maybe they will suffer the same fate as Chelsea this season.

Xavi Hernandez changed his decision regarding his future at Barcelona after meeting Laporta.
Xavi is ready for Barcelona's requirements, we don't know what these requirements contain, but regarding certainty, Xavi Hernandez is ready to become Barcelona's head coach for the next season.

With this updated information reported by Romano, he can dispel the doubts of Barcelona fans who think that Xavi is successful and want him to stay with Barcelona.

Bayern Munich Music have not performed as expected in their own league and they have lost the title this season but despite not fulfilling their dream of winning the title in their own league, Bayern Munich still have hope in the Champions League competition. 
Bayern Munich's opponent in the semi-final is Real Madrid, Real Madrid is undoubtedly a tough opponent for Bayern Munich and before the start of the game we must expect that Real Madrid will be ahead of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid's win in the semi-final is more likely. However, if the opposite happens if Real Madrid are defeated by Bayern Munich, it will surely be a huge success for the current manager. 

When a manager is planned to be sacked when the team under that manager performs much better than expected, the manager can leave the club with a lot of respect. However, as the opponent is Real Madrid, hope is high for Bayern Munich.

Yeah Real Madrid will never accept buy option, they know the value of the players.

This isn't surprising to see Real Madrid will loan their players, many of top teams did this in order to develop the players, those potential players have no chance to compete with the current main squad.

Since there are many teams including Premier League wants him, Real Madrid might choose teams from Premier League over La Liga or Serie A.

We all knew that he is going to be in high demand, especially for a loan contract and I also believe that most of the team are going to try to go for a "loan with a buy option" contract. But Real Madrid is not interested in losing this player in my opinion. Real Madrid actually sees the talent in this guy and wants him for the future in the Real Madrid club. But I don't know if that is a good idea to keep in the club without actually playing him.  it actually probably was going to be a better idea if they could let him go on a loan and that was also probably going to increase his skill with on pitch experience as well.

Maybe they have plans with him that do not involve him getting loaned to another club. We all know Real Madrid is always very careful about their yield players and also the youngsters.

I saw that they were 2-1 behind in the match, and then they made it 2-2 with Bruno Fernandes. In the continuation of the match, Manchester United managed to turn the game in their favor by scoring 2 more goals. I think Erik Ten Hag is now becoming a serious problem for the team. If you add the best players to the team, this situation starts to become a problem. It was a match in which they struggled for Sheffield but were upset. It was one of the matches of Premier League quality.

The search for a new coach to replace Jurgen Kloop has been going on for a long time, even since Jurgen Kloop announced his departure from Liverpool's coaching chair at the end of this season, so Liverpool have thought hard about selecting a suitable coach to replace Jurgen Kloop next season, there are several coaches who have been linked by Liverpool but everything is still unclear and there is still a big question mark so we just have to wait for the final decision to be taken by Liverpool. Hopefully the new coach will really be suitable to fill the coaching chair for this big club because it is not easy to coach a club as big as Liverpool and it will definitely be faced with quite heavy pressure.

Whoever the coach appointed by Liverpool must be ready for all the challenges and pressure they will face, whether pressure from management or Liverpool fans who want success for their club like Jurgen Kloop does. If he can't provide a good strategy maybe Liverpool won't reluctant to fire. Arne Slot is a pretty good coach in the Netherlands and he has coached Feyenoord since 2021 and has won 2 important titles and finished second in the European Conference League in the 2022 season so he is not a bad coach to coach Liverpool, but still Liverpool does not need to be too hasty they also need to selecting other coaches who have other good experiences.

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.
