I think why Manchester United look for new striker is not more than to maintain their depth of squad because next season Manchester United target will be higher than now and they will playing at several different competitions so it is almost impossible to rely on the particular player only to playing for whole season especially for forward lines position that so far they have not much option for this position because if Hojlund absense or got injured there was no players who can able to performing well just like him and it proven from Manchester United recent matches results that when Hojlund absense they were suffering unsatisfied results

Moreover big possibilities Manchester United will not to extended Martial contract and for Rashford too this player was linked to several big clubs and probably will leave too and reported that next summer Manchester United will give their priority to gets new striker and recently i found new rumour about them that Manchester United has thinking possibility to gets Real Madrid player Rodrygo this because after Mbappe arrived this summer then probably Rodrygo position at Real Madrid starting lineup will be threaten so Manchester United has attempts to taking advantages from this situation and want to bought Rodrygo and if this rumour is true i think this could be a good transfer for Manchester United because Rodrygo is talented player and he can be played at different position depend on team needed

He is a good player and can be very essential for the defense of any club. Here it says that Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in him. I guess we might as well not count Manchester United in this one. Because who would go to Manchester United when they are being pursued by Real Madrid and Manchester City at this moment? This 21-year-old can be a great asset for any club you going forward in the future.

His wages might be the reason why he doesn’t want to make a move out of Manchester United because United are one of the teams in England that pay players high wages so he probably doesn’t want to make a move out until his contract runs out. If his contract expires i don’t think Manchester United will want to keep him or offer him as much salary as before because he das not been contributing much for the team recently.

I wouldn’t say no team can afford him but rather no team would want to sign a player that have not been in active performance recently and is not an important player for the team. Any move out of united will be to a less prominent club than United.

Having a good back up is not aa bad idea especially because of times like this that Hojlund is not available so I also back united to look for other striking options not because Hojlund is not capable but as his backup.

Hojlund had a good performance in the Champions League, but could not make enough contribution in the league. I think 7 goals in 21 matches is a small contribution and he had many scoring opportunities on his own in the future. There were many positions that he could not evaluate. I'm sure it will be better next year. I think we need to give young players an opportunity for a year or two.

Erik Ten Hag has spent a lot of money in the transfer window at the beginning of the season, he brought in players according to his wishes but the performance of the Manchester United team is not better than last season, that already indicates that Erik Ten Hag has failed miserably so I think Manchester United management does not need to entrust him Erik Ten Hag again spends money to buy new players, the results will probably be the same.

Manchester United will have to make a major overhaul of their squad if they want to be a top team again competing for the title and I think Erik Ten Hag should be sacked.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league.

 Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience.

 Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too.

 They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

Hojlund performance is still unstable and still cannot be used as a benchmark that he can boost Manchester United current attack line . In the previous few matches he did play very well where he always scored goals in the matches he did its just that when he was playing positively he actually got an injury problem that made him currently have to re-adapt to his game problems.

At the moment if it is possible i don't think its a problem to bring in a new striker but if they really want to look at other situations it seems like instead of for attacking problems they should also try to prioritize bringing in the defense because the current players arent really able to be optimal and bring in some players last season like Amrabat in the end it was just a waste of money and should be taken into consideration now when looking for players then they must really see whether the player fits or not with their style of play so as not to waste their money but the players brought in cannot contribute well .

Xabi has made a decision for next season, he decided to stay with Leverkusen. This is good news for Leverkusen because they don't have to try hard to convince Xabi to stay with them. On the contrary, it closes down hopes for other clubs to be able to get Xabi's signature to become their coach.

I've already said they did well this season, and I'm more looking forward to seeing how they do next season. If Xabi can maintain this form and come back like this for next season, they will definitely get a lot of attention, especially Xabi Alonso. Surely he will be a coach that many of Europe's top clubs will compete to become their coach.

In my opinion, next season will be proof for Xabi that he is indeed a coach who can be really relied on. Because currently there are still many who think that what he did with Leverkusen this season was a stroke of luck that he got. He must be able to silence those who doubt them this season.

Well, I don't see Erik Ten Hag knowing how to manage; I just see him making a mess of things and spending money on the players he chooses. Did he spend a lot of money in the transfer window and what are the team's current results? Erik ten Hag should still give up hope of reaching the Top 4 this season because MU is far behind Aston Villa and Tottenham. With only 1 point against Brentford, MU is 8 and 11 points behind Spurs and Aston Villa, respectively. Obviously, MU played very badly. This is a common image of the Red Devils throughout this season. They played erratically, lacked stability and often let their opponents pressure them.

I feel like MU is no different from a mid-range team. Summer 2024, MU needs a strong reform. At that time, it was unlikely that Erik ten Hag could keep his position as head coach.

You seem to have missed the important news that was discussed previously that Xabi Alonso will never have the intention to leave Bayer Leverkusen no matter what happens without being retained by Leverkusen management, Xabi still has big dreams with Leverkusen to be able to try to win higher titles in Champions League.
Bayern Munich will not have high hopes for Xabi arrival because Bayern Munich knows better when choosing the right coach with much more experience to get higher quality player performance, while Xabi does not have much experience.
Rumors of Xabi departure from Leverkusen will not happen this season or maybe in the next few seasons.

win all hurdles on their path?  What about the results of the match against Brentford? Does that make you satisfied? Don't cover up mistakes that everyone can clearly see. Erik Ten Hag has lost his strategy and continues to implement Build Up until now but the results are not effective. And this draw is clearly very embarrassing for the Red Devils, okay Ten Hag is targeting Dutch players because they dare to pay a high price for bad quality. To be honest, the contribution of the players recruited by Ten Hag ended up being on the bench due to injury. So if you want to change Man United, Ten Hag doesn't always have to prioritize players from there. Create diversity and restore the lost playing philosophy of the Red Devils.

im thinking very differently about those players. Reece James was a Chelsea veteran who played even better than Malo gusto. Look at how bad the Chelsea squad is. There must be something wrong with Chelsea because they keep trying to sell good players in exchange for the worst players and this will slowly but surely destroying chelsea.  It looks so pathetic to see how management become very unprofessional like this time. Chelsea has done it worst last season and people on the board is starting to worsening the worst thing that they have made last season.
Without a doubt, what we have seen in Chelsea is just another disaster caused by Chelsea's consistently poor performance. I recommend you watch this. Chelsea, with so many ignorant kids https://twitter.com/Juanin1Oi/status/1774319392701943972

The team will never ever make progress if there are a lot of selfish players in the club like this time when any attackers only caring about how to be one on one against goal keeper. Chelsea will sell those players, and it is completely unacceptable to see a player who has been extremely loyal to the club leave soon caused by chelsea was only willing to raise some money to buy more players. This sounds bullshit. Someone like Chalobach should be sold. 's better to sack Todd Boehly, as this guy is literally not even capable of handling a big team like this. Disgusting ownership showed by todd and beghdad.
This is also Chelsea's main problem. The people on the board have been successfully destroying Chelsea, and this is what England did to them.

It takes many decades to regain the good momentum that existed when Abramovich was there and it's all vanished in a short time. All of the elements in Chelsea are the main issue here that needs to be solved. Chelsea has an abundance of little brats. I am confizdent that this club will be relegated next season if it keeps show pathetic result like this time.
The new management produced is the main causes of pathetic result. It demonstrates that people with no knowledge of football should not lead large teams.

I do agree that Martial will leave, he hasn't been on his form even when he played and I think he needs to play for a team that has lower level squad to show himself again. Don't get me wrong, he is not at a level where he should retire, he is still great but Man United is trying to be in top four (and failing) so for a team that high at the biggest league in the world, it is not acceptable to play Martial. Whereas, if he goes to a team like maybe Luton or Sheffield or whatever, he would be a star. He needs a team in the middle, which could be back in France maybe?

A team that is trying to be in top 10 would LOVE to have Martial, he would shine there, and that is not a bad spot to be in for him, he can play at least another five seasons there.

Reportedly Chelsea plans to sell two players this summer and those two names are Reece James and Conor Gallagher. It seems that Chelsea is still not satisfied with the current performance of their squad so they want to do this as additional funds to bring in other players in the transfer market later. Actually, I'm quite curious about what kind of players Chelsea want, especially since they spent so much money to bring in several players who were overrated last season.

Apart from that, I think this could be a strategic move for Chelsea where the players do not meet the club's expectations so they have to be sold so as not to burden the club's budget to pay players who are not contributing enough. I think that's quite right, but the problem is if Chelsea brings in the wrong players again then that will be a new problem for this club from London. The talent scout team and club management must work together well because this determines the future of the club and provides bright hopes for the future.

Martial was actually the best attacking player for Manchester United when taking the number nine position. He made games easy for Manchester United and the best option there but then, he hasn't been consistent and with him being injury prone, it has really not helped him under Erik Ten Hag. He has no issue with the coach but lacked what we call consistency. He should be amongst the names leaving the club also Christian Eriksen.

I won't concur with this Zirkzee of a player move to Manchester United, I'd rather a Premier League based player who has experience well enough. I'd say either of Ivan Toney and Alaxander Isaak would do a better job because I'm not comfortable with the football Rasmus Hojlund play at times. I'm not really a fan of a number nine being a left footed player.

INEOS as a team aren't even swinging that way believe me. Also, I double doubt Romelu Lukaku extending his stay with the blues.

Maybe you say that because in his first season with Leverkusen he was able to become a good coach and build positive motivation in his players, making Leverkusen appear more confident in facing whatever obstacles were in front of his eyes, including having to face elite Bundesliga clubs, so It is natural that Leverkusen is now called the strongest club in the Bundesliga because it was able to surpass Bayern Munich and break this dominance.

And it's all thanks to Leverkusen being handled by the right coach, even though before Leverkusen never reached its current level because it was always unable to face the elite Bundesliga clubs, but now everything is different and for the first time Leverkusen will lift the Bundesliga title this season and Bayern Munich of course frustrated because they failed to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga.

But it looks like Bayern Munich will do something so that Leverkusen next season doesn't appear like this again with Bayern Munich making an offer to Xabi Alonso to become coach of Bayern Munich next season and if this offer is really accepted by Xabi Alonso it is possible that Leverkusen will not perform as well as it is now and we will see Xabi Alonso coaching a new club next season.

Currently, nothing is clear because now as things are going into Manchester United we can expect big overhaul in coming weeks with their situation is worse than last season and new management which is having no faith in Ten Hag can do changes which will be surely going to have big impact on them even I have feeling we will have no improvement in Manchester Untied and Chelsea with both are currently worst teams in Premier League.
Martial was the good player, but his recent performance is not as he was few years back which is big setback so better option is allowed him for leave this club as free agent is also good as they can use other players or can also bring suitable replacement as well which will increase their quality and performance in coming season.

It is true that Antony Martial has a big salary and no club in Europe wants to sign him due to injuries, lack of performance, and high amount of salary/wages. So in my opinion, he needs to go to Saudi Arabia where they would give him a lot of wages. Recently, I heard some news that Some of Saudi Arabian clubs want to sign Antony Martial. So it would be good for him to go to Saudi Arabia.

Yeah, definitely Manchester United will let him go at the end of his contract because he didn't make any contribution  towards the club due to his lack of playing, and the club has been paying him a big wage. But anyway, it will be good for him to leave the Manchester united and go to MLS or Saudi Arabia where they would give him a much higher salary.

Manchester have outstanding players this season. Rasmus Højlund is regarded as one of the best frontline for the team, he is a new striker for Manchester United, moving from Atalanta to join the Red Devils in previous transfer window. Those the Denmark international is currently battling with longterm crucial injuries, he needs more time to exerts actions on his position as top frontline. Erik Ten Hag knows how to handle his squad and he already spot out his important players, these are leading Red Devils that will win all hurdles on their path.

Why Manchester United need to change their striker again? Hojlund already filled this position, the problem arise if he's injured, Manchester United don't have any good player that can replace him. Zirkzee might join Manchester United sooner or later, as long as Ten Hag is still the manager because this manager always want to sign Netherlands players.

Probably Bologna will demand at least 50 Million Euros to Manchester United, but I think it could be 60-70 Million Euros considering he's still young.
