Xavi has announced his decision to step down from Barcelona next season, so I think for now of course he will get a lot of offers to coach other clubs, but I think it is important for Xavi to continue to be able to keep Barcelona competing in La Liga and the Champions League regardless of his decision to step down, Barcelona's performance under Xavi in my opinion is quite extraordinary and even difficult for a senior coach to be able to bring Barcelona like Now with financial problems that befall them, but Xavi who came as coach is not the favorite actually changed Barcelona's journey for the better after they were down before.

I don't think anyone should blame Xavi for his failure to win the La Liga trophy this season, because after all Xavi has worked hard enough to get Barcelona second, so with the deteriorating financial condition currently being second in La Liga is fantastic, so it is fitting for Barcelona and the fans to thank Xavi for all his performance so far.
It will be interesting to see which team Xavi will coach next season.

He’s saying the truth and what they should do now is to focus on the club and not be too bothered about his future and where he wishes to move to. Xavi is still the best coach for Barcelona and losing him now will be a big loss to Barcelona, so they’d better keep him no matter what and agree to his terms to stay back and continue with them. He has managed the club well since he joined them and every coach always makes mistake, so his past mistakes shouldn’t be used to judge him but rather they should look into the good times and the good things he has achieved for the club. They should keep in no matter what, it would be better for them than agreeing to him leaving.

There are a couple of true points here, but Ronaldo was on a totally different level at the age of 16 and far more important to his teams than Rashford is and probably ever will be. Ronaldo went to Real Madrid at the age of 24 and immediately turned into the one guy on the pitch who decided games just by himself. Now think about what would happen when Rashford went to Real Madrid. There is no chance he would ever get close to what Ronaldo has done as Ronaldo is several categories above Rashford.

Don't forget that I am not the biggest fan of Ronaldo because of his bad character, but his performances as a football player are not up for debate. Even when someone didn't like him, nobody could ever deny that he was one of the craziest goal machines football has ever seen. 2010/2011 was the first season he scored 40 goals in La Liga only, that was at the age 25/26. Rashford wouldn't have the potential to score such a number of goals in La Liga. Rashford's performances are far too erratic. Sometimes I like to watch him play as he is delivering with his speed and great technique, but then there are days where you have to first check more closely whether he is even playing.

He is still not an old player, but he is about to have played a full decade for Manchester United and never really turned into this outstanding superstar that many thought he could be.

If for any reason Barcelona lets go of their young Spanish midfielder Pedri, I think it's one decision they'll definitely regret in the future and my own opinion is based on the potentials the young star have already shown. Barcelona in recent years have not been financially stable and that was why they've not been active in the transfer market so selling off a good player like Pedri will give them more issues as to find his replacement. The young Spanish player have been sidelined for most part of the season because of injuries he's suffered but that shouldn't be the reason why Barcelona would want to let go of him.

Realistically Real Madrid need a striker. If Mbappe will play as striker for Madrid, It would be no problem at all, but if Mbappe will play as Left Forward, Vinicius will be in a question. Real Madrid is known to prefer bigger star to play for them, and willing to sell their settled important player for that to happen like when they sold Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria.

Vinicius will be threaten if Madrid have plan to sign Mbappe and a striker in this situation. On the other hand, Rodrygo's situation is much safer as he is right forward, because Madrid don't seem to have a plan to sign another right forward. This situation will need Ancelotti to solve with the ambition of Madrid as a big club.

There is nothing wrong with the picture. Why it is funny?
You can make your own comparison if you can. Why you need to bother this comparison?  

When Ronaldo played as a midfielder? Have you learned Ronaldo career before you made any comment?  

Ronaldo positions in all his career are Left winger, Right winger, Second Striker, and Center Forward.

You need to know that Ronaldo became a productive player since he was in Man United. He didn't only score many goals but he also delivered assists.

Leo may be younger but Rashford is also still a young player. These players only have 2 years difference. I think it is not a significant difference.
If you learn the performance of Leao, his performance isn't very impressive. Why Man United needs to buy this player if he looks to not bring a very significant change for Man United? Meanwhile Rashford ever showed a great contribution for Man United.

These are some really good players for Barcelona. I hope Barcelona does everything that they can to keep them. Because if Barcelona for some reason decides to sell these players, I don't think they will be able to get a better player with the money that they will get if they sell them. Knowing the financial situation of Barcelona, the player is definitely making a bold statement. Barcelona, A club that struggles to register players, should definitely be very interested in keeping the young talents that are proving to be great. Think Barcelona will keep him. We have seen loyal players stay in Barcelona even after not getting paid properly. And it does seem like he is very loyal to Barcelona.

But Rafael Leao's performance at Milan can't be said to be good, he only scored 7 goals in Serie A in 28 matches and if you look at his statistics, Leao hasn't been very optimal at Milan over the years, he hasn't scored many goals, but Milan still uses him. as an important player even though if you look at him he is an ordinary striker and I am also not sure if he is in the EPL later whether he can perform well there because the Italian league and the EPL are different. Leao has to adapt first to compete with other strikers who are better. good in EPL.

Maintaining coaches and players who are less than optimal is not a good idea. The club also has to think about Manchester United's future in the future. If they continue to decline then it will be a nightmare for the club itself and if MU doesn't want to suffer that bad fate they have to make changes and in my opinion MU It's better to think about changing coaches because I think Erik Ten Hag has a bad strategy that is easily read by his opponents.

This would be the most stupid move Real Madrid could ever make. Mbappe is great and all but Vinicious Jr. has been a very crucial part of this club for many years now, expecting Mbappe to provide the same, or even more, and selling Vini would be a bad move. I think it's clear that he is going to be someone they will need for a long time to come and they should not sell him.

I believe he is the type of player that should stay until he is 30+ years old at least. Mbappe doesn't mean that Vini will become useless, Mbappe means he will help Vini. I think Rodrygo could be the one to go, and yes I know he is right wing, so neither Vini nor Mbappe plays there normally but I think they could put Mbappe to striker and make it work.

Everyone is currently talking about his own views about this all with we can expect good number of changes are going to happen in Manchester United because things are not good, and many players are completely failed to deliver and few are having issues with current coach as well which are creating serious problems in this club and right now their performance is as well going from bad to worse they are having just one win from their last seven games with three draws and three loses mean they are badly down and out of the touch.

Anthony Martial and few other players needed to be left, and they needed to have suitable changes under new management which will bring better performance and improvement in quality which is important Sir Jim Ratcliffe is the good lover of soccer and Manchester United we can expect better things from him for this club in coming weeks.

Personally I think I won't think twice to sell Marcus Rashford to another club if am the Manchester United coach, the performance of Rashford this season is very poor and he is not even looking forward to improving in any match instead he will be acting like he doesn't care when when his team is losing in the game, he has lost the confidence to score goals,che doesn't attack to retrieve back the ball when he misses any strike so it's better he is allowed to play in another club so that it will help him to regain back his good performance in playing again.

I think it is better to sell him instead of keeping him in the bench, Rashford as a young players deserves to hustle and be hungry for goal just like Arsenal's Saka that is one of the best in the premier league so far so if Rashford is not ready to improve, it is better United gets a replacement for him so he would go and continue playing for another team.

I hope Barcelona is not actually trying to let him go. Because I don't think there is anyone good who will take the responsibility of managing Barcelona at this moment. To be honest the other coaches are going to just see the financial condition of Barcelona and lose interest. Because for a club to perform well, you need to bring in good players. If you cannot bring in good players and do not have a good amount of money you will not be able to perform well against big opponents. Considering the financial situation of Barcelona right now, I think Xavi is actually doing a decent job.

Yes, he has made some mistakes. But the previous coaches of Barcelona have made bigger mistakes compared to him. And let's be practical, if they let him go who will take up the job? No chance Xabi Alonso the job of managing Barcelona. And that is probably the only coach who will actually be better at this situation for Barcelona.

Manchester United must be wiser in building their main squad for next season, and they must be able to retain their important assets such as Rashford, because there is a possibility that his performance will be unstable due to strategic errors implemented by Ten Hag. We have to look at Manchester United current decline in two directions, players who fail to show their best performance cannot necessarily be blamed, it could be that the fault lies with their coach Ten Hag. Almost all Manchester United players did not stand out, Rasmus Hojlund was also late on fire and slow to adapt.

Besides that, releasing Rashford and recruiting Rafael Leao is actually quite risky, in which I think the Milan player could end up like Rasmus Hojlund who was slow to adapt. Perhaps a better option for Manchester United would be to sack Ten Hag first, and start next season with a new, more talented coach. But that is just an assumption, the rumors of Rashford leaving next season will not necessarily come true, as well as the hopes of those of us who want to see Ten Hag fired by club officials.

Yes Manchester United need to make a complete change to their coaching system, so I think $100 million is more than enough to improve their squad, so far we know that Manchester United have budgeted a lot of money to continue to buy star players and at the moment actually the line-up owned by Manchester United has been quite good, but I think the strategy applied by Ten Hag so far is the main problem of inconsistency of the game Manchester United at this time, besides that the factor of selecting players in the line-up is one of the factors that in my opinion often makes Manchester United play badly, so far Ten Hag will not play players who are not on good terms with him even though the player's performance is quite good, and vice versa when the player has a bad performance but has a good relationship, of course Ten Hag will continue to play him like Maguire.

In my opinion, Manchester United today is no different from Chelsea, yes the right change of coach can of course be a solution, so far Pochettino failed at Tottenham in winning the championship, as well as at PSG who were unable to make them win the Champions League trophy, then came Chelsea recruited Pochettino as a coach and they expected a lot of him, isn't that a folly?

One of the biggest mistakes Manchester United will make in the summer is selling off an important player like Marcus Rashford and replacing him with AC Milan's Rafael Leao because I don't think the decline in form of Marcus Rashford is the reason why the club is underperforming at the moment. The England international has shown that he's a very talented young footballer with the potentials of becoming one of the best players in the history of the game of football.
Manchester United's problem I think is their manager Erik ten Hag's poor tactical ability and not because of their players. He appears clueless whenever his tactical experience is needed to win games and until the club gets a better manager, I think they'll continue to complain about their poor form

This season is not Rashford best season because his performance was decline compared to last season because from 39 matches in all competitions with Manchester United Rashford only can scores 9 goals but i think potentially Rashford will be stayed because basically Ten Hag feel he still need Rashford for next season but indeed some of media has starting to speculate his future at Manchester United after rumours PSG want to bought him with expensive price because Rashford will be used as the replacement of Mbappe who possibly will leave PSG after this season ended

But PSG has been make a statement recently because they said it just a rumour and will not be happend because they never interested to bought Rashford and regarding Leao just like i said before apparently Manchester United will putting him as the priority because Ten Hag feel Manchester United still required more players for winger position but indeed there is a possibility if this transfer happened then Rashford will starting to thinking his future in Manchester United because if they really bought Leao then possibly Rashford status only as substitution player and he doesn't want it

Chelsea attitude to football has been very much frustrating, they've been behind average in their performance and it's bad because they've at the beginning of the season spent a whole lot on acquisition of new set of players who were believed to be world class and then have slacked in proving their worth. The coach on his part seems lost in his duties as he's not been able to act rightly. He should be able to know where his team and players are doing wrong and fix them up. If he's got some bunch of errors in his duties then there's no way the team would go without having errors too.
 
 Chelsea before now were a good team in the hands of good coaches. It's sad to admit that Pochettino wasn't actually the man for the job. We have good players but all we need is the right combo which Pochettino has failed to establish and make consistent. We're far behind on the table and in our current situation, it'll be so hard to catch up. It's difficult to hope on them coming back up and it's a shame that we're at the position we are even with the players we've had in the team.

 Chelsea needs a solution to the management issue they're faced with. Yes the exit of Abrahamovic caused and created various loopholes which they're trying to cover up. The coach they have in mind, yes may likely have good records in time past but financially will they be ready and able to acquire his services to the team. Well they're a team known for their ability to spend just to acquire the best so I believe they'll be able to work out a way to it. Amorim would be a beneficial option to them and they'll want to get him at least to try a different hand in the team whilst hoping that there's positivity in the results from his games with them. The end of the season will be the decider. They just have to struggle with the last few weeks to see if it'll be possible enough to secure a spot in the European contests next season.

It's caused by the draw has increased his chance to leave from manchester united. The result will obviously make the management to reconsider him as a head coach of united. this is the fact caused by we have heard that so many times united tried to replace him with a better coach.
Im hoping that united will do that soon or it will be on the disaster. United shall do that. The club must get the right coach in order to improve the performance from the club. Leverkusne should tell united about how a good coach will be improving the performance from the club a lot.
Leverkusen has less quality compared to the united but xabi helps them to win the game. This is also making the situation even better as long as united can have good coach for the club.

The only solution to fix all of untied problems to replace the old coach with the new coach. United is still having a chance to solve it. Fans were always pushing the management to do that but they keep being so harsh with it.
There must be someone to fix it and im hoping sir him will able to find the best solution for the problem faced by manchester united.

You are right that Rashford was badly ineffective to defend except last season but now that he has declined it would be better Leao than Rashford.

Erik Ten Hag is not responsible? I think he should share in his responsibility as a coach he will choose which players are good while the club only spends money according to the coach's wishes, unless Erik Ten Hag is fired this summer.

Rashford seems to have more arguments with the coach or there are other problems that affect his performance, this is unusual he plays like there is no motivation, I don't like him now.

Erik Ten Hag is increasingly stressed after being held to a draw by a lower class club that they shouldn't have. And during the interview, he did not want to comment on the questions asked by the journalist and then left without making any comments. This explains everything, both coaches and players have lost their mentality. It doesn't matter if Man United loses or draws, but if the coach shows frustration then there is no one left for his players to emulate. All of Man United's problems this season will be even more complicated, it is not surprising that there are rumors of a squad overhaul due to dissatisfaction with the public, fans and club management. In my opinion, Ten Hag and the Man United players must immediately make changes because if it cannot be improved automatically the fate of the coach and players will be very threatened.
