Why wouldn't the fans laugh, I mean the team is completely filled with blunder and error at every end and position of the team, Manchester united have become the subject of joke matters especially from their back end, with the likes of Onana " the blunder master" as their goalkeeper it's almost as of every game is a comedy show for the fans and I believe this could continue to go on even if the coach or more players are bought because with all the past records seen it's still not clear where the actual problem is for this once glorious club.

You expressed concerns about Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) transfer policy, in particular their tendency to spend big money on players, and how this approach might hinder their chances of winning the Champions League. PSG needs to find a balance between financial investment and sporting success with a focus on building a solid team and a wise transfer strategy to achieve success at European level.

Maybe seeing Rafael Leao from Man United's own management is different so they think that Reafael's price is not that expensive to buy or they think that price is not worth it for Rafael, it seems that there are still several options that Man United will take, so they are not worried about losing Rafael.
And speaking of career opportunities is better in the English Premier League than the French League 1, but if the goal is money, surely PSG is the best choice for Rafael, we know that PSG is quite rich and dare to take even the stars to join them, but Man United is saving as much as possible to be able to get players with targeted needs.

I agree that Man United has enough wingers, they are better to spend a big money for a productive striker. Osimhen is the right player if Man United wants a goal machine. Osimhen deserves to get €100m, his market value is even more than that price, it is around €110m. I think Napoli wants above his current market value, it is rumored valued above €150m. There is no way that Man United can sign Osimhen with €100m.

Regarding Leao, he is a great player but Man United doesn't really need a player like him. $100mil is also too expensive, Man United is better to spend the money for more priority players.

If PSG continue with this policy, that players should be bought for fabulous money, I'm afraid PSG will never win the Champions League, it has long been clear that such tactics do not work. Osimhen in any case it will be necessary to buy some support to build a really good bunch of players.

I think in recent seasons Manchester United have spent quite a lot of money to buy players, but unfortunately Ten Hag was not able to optimise the expensive and good players they bought last season, Hojlund, Andre Onana, Varane, Martinez, Casemiro, Garnacho and Antony, I think we all know how those players became the best at their previous clubs and it can be said that currently Manchester United have the best squad in the world if indeed If Ten Hag does not discard Ronaldo, I think now the problem is Ten Hag which is not able to optimize the ability of the players well.

Spending a lot of money next season certainly does not guarantee that Manchester United will rise and triumph again in Europe, but I think by recruiting a coach who is really qualified and able to bring out the ability of players is what Manchester United needs most next season, I think if the squad owned by Manchester United is currently coached by Klopp,  Arteta, Guardiola or even Xavi then I'm sure if Manchester United will currently be top of the Premier League table, talking about Manchester United's budget next season, reportedly Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to plot around £170 million to recruit some new players.

If Manchester United is ready to slap atleast $100mil on a player than that player is going to be Osimhem for sure. We need a solid finisher not someone that has the versatile capability like Leao. We already has Holjund and Garnacho if we want someone versatile on that role so its dumb to actually spend $100mil on Leao

Also for the comparison last year since this season hasnt over yet

Leao played 41 times for AC Milan with 16 goals and 8 assists

Osimhem played 39 times for Napoli with 31 goals and 5 assists

Statistically, Osimhem was way better finisher

Ronaldo is back as part of Manchester United, but we know that coach Erik Ten Hag didn't give him many opportunities and that even caused problems in the end. I don't support anyone in this matter, but what is clear is that Manchester United is not in a good condition right now. No coach has yet been able to restore the honor they achieved when they were with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Who knows how long Manchester United will continue to be in a situation like this, because they have lost their authority. They were once a giant team in Europe and they were even a very respected team. But we can see now that they have even become the butt of jokes even by their own fans. In my opinion, this is a very bad thing that Manchester United has experienced.
They are no longer the respected team they used to be, they are like an ordinary team that often shows their inconsistency. Even their mistakes were made into jokes in the competition by many people.

The future of Rashford and Martial is reportedly unclear, meaning there are rumors that the two players will leave next season. If Man United management is willing to let go of these two players, they can easily recruit Rafael Leao from Milan, even though it is reported that the Serie A club has set an exorbitant price. It must be admitted that when a club does not appear in the Champions League, they will have difficulty recruiting star players, and at this time joining Man United may not be the right choice. At Milan Rafael Leao is a key player in Pioli lineup, he is a mainstay in every match.

On the other hand, I think many people agree regarding Ten Hag position, he deserves to be replaced. Man United this season seems to be going backwards, although we know they spent quite a lot of their budget in the last transfer window. Ten Hag is the person most responsible for the team performance. If management still gives him confidence next season, it is very likely that Man United will slump even worse. Apart from that, their chances of finishing in the top four of the standings are very difficult, because the point difference is very wide.

I just always think that even though Man United will be able to spend large amounts of money to make an offer to Osimhen, it's not certain that Osimhen will accept the offer because currently Man United is in heated discussion about the bad things that are happening and talented players like Osimhen don't want to. His reputation suffers if he joins the wrong team.
and regarding the defense you said, I would fully support it if Man United would prioritize bringing in more quality defenders than strikers, who for me are currently quite perfect.
it all depends on Ten Hag how he will manage Man United in the coming season because honestly I don't have any trust in Ten Hag anymore.

at first I believed that Ten Hag still had hope but after seeing Sancho case at that time I felt something was wrong and after that I tried to understand the situation and in the end I had a losing streak at that time and Ten Hag even failed to contribute to the fight in the UCL.
after seeing all these mistakes I realized that there was something bad in the defense line and indeed several players were injured and were just recovering from injuries but Ten Hag should have had an alternative to try to strengthen the defense line and in my opinion there is no longer any reason that Ten Hag might have parting ways with Man United at the end of this season.

Ten Hag must be definitely replaced, I agree. At this point, there will be no moving forward with him as coach of United. As much as United has a poor squad, the manager has done very poorly. When you see the way the team plays, you'll know the manager is doing a poor job.
Manchester United concede 20+ shots every match day, that's unacceptable and it's obviously the tactics of the coach.
I used to love Ten Hag in his Ajax days, it's quite unfortunate he can't replicate that form at United.


I do not like Marcos Radford as a player, he's too inconsistent, but I believe if a good manager takes over United, Rashford is a player that you can rely on. The front line of United is not elite, but it's not bad either. Ganacho, Antony, and Rashford can be very good players if utilized properly. They also have a good striker in Hoijlund. I think what United should focus on is their defense and midfield.

 Liverpool on the other hand has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet. This season, he's aimed for a number of trophies too, first when they took on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss was charged to win again.

 The European contests too is there. He's been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel. The players he's worked with are definitely improving in their abilities too. Just like Pep in City, Klopp is been a savior to Liverpool and they'd definitely have to get to some greater heights before he exits the team soon. His exit from the team would definitely have some impacts in the team's performance ahead either positively or negatively. It's only best to avoid the negative effects.

 He's been able to set up the right team with every needed criteria in place. But still, it's not a determinant that any bad change can't happen in a twinkle of an eye. The Liverpool squad just have to work together to stay in shape and hopefully the replacement won't be a mistake to the team. The team still proves to be competitive in their ability next season. We'd just watch how it'll be manned up and see the results they do their best to achieve. There are still world class players in the team and so they have no standing reason to flop no matter the condition they'll find themselves.

 Well Xabi was once a prospect but staying at Leverkusen would favor him more and so at the moment, we hope to see the club finalize their deal with Amorim and also see the Portuguese team boss join the English side next season. Yes he's had in between performances but still I believe he can make a reasonable effect on Liverpool's team too. The squad are in good shape and he's got to be extra cautious in handling to prevent breakage.

United will probably be happy to get rid of Rashford, who last year seriously raised his salary when renewing his contract, but began to play worse and seems to have stopped developing. Leau will also be expensive in every sense (and in general it is not clear why he would move to United, which is unlikely to play in the Champions League in the coming years), but at least he is promising.
It would be good if United changed the coach first, then there is a chance that any expensive transfer will not turn into a loss.

With Manchester United's journey this season, I think we also have to look at the fact that the chances of breaking into the top 4 are very small. So this season is no longer Ten Hag's target because what the Red Devils need is to focus on improving the balance of the game.

Even if, for example Manchester United managed to finish in the top 4 miraculously out of nowhere, still in the UCL they would suffer the same fate as last season. The reason is that in terms of strength, Manchester United has not been able to show equal competition with other European clubs. It can't be helped, the fact is that now Manachester United has to go through another long process to be on par with the top 3 in the EPL. In conclusion, everything that happened at Manchester United will increasingly provide strong reasons for Leao not daring to join this club.

Amorim does seem like someone who could sustain a bit longer, Xabi was great too and I like him and as an option he would have been great, but he had just one amazing season so far, Amorim has established his system, which is a lot better if you ask me. And at the end of the day it is not about who would be the better manager but more about who Liverpool can get, and they can get Amorim.

I believe that the system he plays is not close to Klopp, so there will be some changes for sure, I am feeling like the press will be lower and the team will play a bit more towards centre, instead of how Klopp made everything play down both lanes on the wings. This is just my guess, but we are going to wait and see what kind of changes will happen.

Earlier today, I read a news article that suggested that Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen will be joining Paris Saint Germaine in the summer as Chelsea have lost our of the deal to sign him but that the transfer isn't confirmed yet as Paris Saint Germaine and Napoli are in advanced talks to finalize the deal. Victor Osimhen this season haven't been as prolific as he was last season because of injury setbacks and the fact that Napoli haven't been as consistent as they were last season but that I don't think takes anything away from the fact that the Nigeria international is a great striker that possesses every needed quality to succeed in any league in the world.
If the deal is finalized, I think Victor Osimhen will make a good signing for Paris Saint Germaine especially now that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Osimhen if surrounded with good midfielders that can always provide him with good passes, will score many goals if he joins Paris Saint Germaine

Indeed not productivities with attacking line players, but Manchester United more weakness with defensive area behind almost every match difficult to make clean sheet and Manchester United conceded many goals in Premier League or UEFA Champion League group phase in this season. If have much money for next season window transfer opening, I think Manchester United must spend their allocation transfer budget around 60% for defensive players and left 40% for signing new forward.
Get problem in the same moment, Manchester United loss their defender players with injury and need another back up in defensive position by recruiting new defender next season. Better for United looking the opportunity which one good defender for signing than focus to get sign of attacking line players.

Don't worry dude. Leao knows best for him, that's why he said to stay even longer in acmilan rather than make a move to the manchester united. Leao knows how united was ruining the potential of its players. Sancho's case has been making everything clear for him.

Yeah, and the biggest mistake to keep ten hag even longer in the club. Milan guaranteed leao to play in the UCL consistently. I will call leao as a dumb player if he will do that.

Farmer league. Leao will get a higher chance to always participate in the UCL and get league 1 trophy but it gave no challenge for leao considering that the winner can always be predicted even before the season was starting.

Moving to the MU or PSG means leao has degrade his career.

I haven't looked for any updates regarding Sir Jim Ratcliffe's interest in one of their strikers next summer, but it seems likely that United will focus on other options. as you said, United has a young striker but he still needs time to become a deadly striker. after all, if United don't let go of Bruno, Rashford, they can still be relied on. Apart from that, there are several other players. maybe what they will build is a midfielder, namely Pivot if the coach remains Ten Hag. and several established, strong and proven defenders. yeah, United needs that more.

Overall, I more or less agree with what you said. United's problem is not because the front line players are performing poorly, but rather a lack of discipline. as for the need for other lines, yeah Manchester United really needs it. So, next summer United will carry out a major evaluation. which players will be released, and some of the newcomers they will bring in. the point is, so that everything runs smoothly and not like this season. United needs significant changes, starting with the discipline of the players.

Everything is not all about the money for some players, Osimhen for a truth will be a benefiting option for PSG seeing that he's a smart and  sufficient as an attacker he will certainly create an improvement in the PSG team and also make money for himself, but am skeptical if he will make a happy career in PSG not minding if Mbappe will be departing or not. My take as an opinion is he should move to Arsenal and don't be distracted by the flamboyant offers these bigger clubs like PSG and Real Madrid are offering. At Arsenal he will play as a free spirit without much constraints and pressure, with the talented and creative wingers there in Arsenal his job is already lessened all he has to do is to always be at the right position to delivering the ball to the back of the net which is something he's very good at.
