Pep Guardiola is a genius manager who likes challenges. I remember when he first went to City and at that time City was not a top team like it is now. But Pep managed to give City the EPL title for four consecutive seasons. I think if Pep is a manager who likes challenges then there is a chance he will leave City next season to look for a new challenge. He could coach Manchester United and I've heard rumors that some of the United board members have tried to communicate with Pep. But I see the possibility that Pep will choose to leave the English league and look for a challenge in another league.

Manchester United is famous as a club that often makes star players their main transfer targets, so they often let young talents go to other teams, currently there are several young players in the Manchester United squad, so it seems that they are starting to try to develop young talent in the team, many English league clubs seem now to be starting to trust young squads to fill their squad to compete next season,  Chelsea have been the most visible this season in trying to build their squad full of young players, so I think, Manchester United should also be able to follow Chelsea lead in order to build a squad that does have long-term prospects later.

Manchester United has often sold their young players, but in the last two seasons it seems that they are trying to start trusting academy players to get into the first squad, in addition to the players you mentioned, actually Manchester United has a lot of talented young players in their squad at the moment such as Greenwood, Omari Forson, Brandon Williams and also Hannibal Mejbri, so I think if they can be retained and given the opportunity to continue to develop in the main squad, of course, Manchester United no longer needs to spend a lot of money to recruit other players in the future.

Yes, the main 11 is actually good. But I think some players alone are actually making the situation of the club not good at all. Of course, I am talking about Antony. he has such a huge ego and for some reason, he believes that he is probably the best player in the world. He was brought in to be a good winger and play as a player for the main 11 of the Red Devils. But now it is even harder to actually use him as a substitute.

By the way, it is not like Erik ten Hag is not giving him enough freedom or anything. I don’t think anybody is actually telling Antony anything for his bad performance. Sometimes players and coaches do that so that the player who is performing badly does not feel under pressure. But it is not working with Antony. He is actually getting his way with bad performance and it is not having any kind of effect on him. In general, the Red Devils squad is actually good. But the environment is just not good enough.

Why is this difficult for a y'all to understand? During his first season, did you see him play any of these players off them favorite position? No, right? But with the too much Injury, he had to improvise and make sure that he brings up a perfect backup plan. He his not a magician for goodness sake, he is a bloody manager and cannot do what these players are meant to do.

He did well in the first season with enough players to project his plans, I don't think the injures has got anything to do with the training sections, because if it was then, I would have loved to hear of players like Bruno Fernandez and Lisandro Martinez complained about it. If these players couple with Casemiro never complained about it them, the rest players are bloody lazy bones.

Sacrifice is part of the game, I have seen Wayne Rooney switch to catch a penalty or was that Rio Ferdinand? Oliver Giroud also be did same too. I saw Erik Ten Hag giving Antony instructions and he was fummin.... Did he see Bruno Fernandez playing as a defender against Liverpool in the Fa Cup Competition?  A lot of football fans need to look deep and not just come out to yap.

I don't blame Erik Ten Hag, all these are his backup plans that did work. I hope he gets enough qualified players ahead of the new season for Manchester United.

Whatever you say, Ten Hag is walking on a fine line here. I thought they were already going to lose patience with him. but for some reason, they have been able to actually keep him and I hope he actually values his job a lot. I hope he also understands that the only reason he was not fired is because there is a genuine shortage of courses right now. That’s why even after he has basically wasted so much money from the Manchester United fund, They are still giving him another chance. But I doubt they are going to give him financial freedom like that anymore. If he starts to bring in good consistent results, it is going to be a different story probably. Because if he brings in good consistent results, Manchester United will probably give him money again.

I can't guarantee any success at all, and have no idea how United will do, but I can say that it is not going to be all that crazy, we could definitely see them do fine in the end. We just need to make sure that we know how they are going to go out on the field and if they will have any injures or not.

I think without any long injury to anyone, and if they actually do have a formation where players play in their right positions instead of putting players at wrong places, then we can see United do fine. But last years issue was that they had a lot of injuries, and instead of putting third string level players at the right position, Erik Tan Hag decided the better player could play at wrong position and be better, like Amrabat for example. That obviously doesn't result well.

Arsenal has changed their philosophy in shopping for players today, indeed we can't deny that many consider Arsenal as a stingy club before, but what they did at that time of course Arsenal had a strong reason to prefer to bring in cheap players and sell them when they profited from the player, but after I read several articles on the internet of course I began to understand if all this time their had a strong reason to do so in order to be able to stabilize their finances after the construction of the Emirates Stadium which cost a lot of money at that time.

In the last few seasons of course we have seen a lot of changes in arsenal, they tend to be bolder to buy star players who are indeed considered to be able to make a big contribution to the team so far and of course this has a big effect on the mentality and performance of arsenal at the moment, Arsenal is rumored to be interested in bringing in Osimhen from Napoli,  but for now it seems that Arsenal are starting to take a step back because they think Osimhen is not worth appreciating that expensive, and it is clear that Edu is more selective and experienced in assessing the quality and also the price of the player they will buy.

If you look at the players of Manchester United, there is no chance to say that there are bad players in this team. But the big question is, despite having good players, is the manager not applying the right strategy to these players? I will not blame the manager entirely, maybe the manager is not implementing the right strategy well but there is another big problem with this team. Although the starting XI of this team is strong, it is useless to catch all the players that are on their bench. It is normal for players from the regular eleven to get injured but when the injury is long term but they cannot provide good support with any bench player in that place and they fall behind a lot. Since Manchester United have relied on their former manager, the manager must take these things seriously.

Three friends ain't it? They'll definitely see success this season, right now, Kobbie Mainoo is the only player being stressed in the Euro's Competition but this is what you do for your country, yes?
Garnacho and Amad Diallo are prolly not too occupied so they'll definitely be fresh joining the pre-season ahead inna couple few weeks.

As much as there's a good set of midfielder's to link up with these players, worry less man, they'll definitely achieve success this season. We already saw a tip of what they can do. So much expectations next season, hopefully they don't screw this up 

Rasmus Hojlund and whoever is brought into the first team squad will all benefit. Erik Ten Hag is a top man and will definitely do brilliant. Can't wait for the management to get de Ligt and also Branthewaite from Everton to solidify the backline. With these defenders coming in, there'll be enough Competition and also enough clean sheets from Andrea Onana because they'll complement him and he'll do same too.

Selling Garnacho would be possible in the future, Amad Diallo likewise but Kobbie Mainoo? Knock it off already ( That's a Goddamn Manchester United legend ).

If I were Manchester United management, I would not sell this young boys unless there is very much exorbitant price offered for them which will assure me that I can buy other good talents like them. But also we need to understand that having young players Is tot enough without experience players to guide them. A team that is composed of majority of young players will not be mature and will not be able to win trophies. They can play well throughout the season but at the end of the day no tangible tangible trophy because of inexperience. It is nice that when you have young players, you keep them under the mentorship of old and experienced players and allow them to grow. If someone like Cristiano Ronaldo is still in Manchester United, Garnacho would have developed faster than this because he will be happy playing alongside his idol.

Take Real Madrid for instance, they had a lot of young stars and talent to pilot the affairs of the club, yet the kept pleading with Toni kroos and the Modric to remain and the groom the young ones. So, I expect Manchester United to buy experienced players to compliment the efforts of the young ones.

They do have great players with massive talent but are they being trained at a proper level to actually increase their stats ? I would say no and it's not because of whoever is the coach , it's because their facilities are getting way to old to actually give their players proper trainings. We can remember that CR7 was shocked when he came back to United to see the same old training facilities for over 15 years without improving in any area so no doubt United is where it is today.

I hope they won't sell those key players because they represent the future of United to make this club great again but until they won't improve outside the stadium , I doubt important things will actually happen with United.

The management of Manchester United team can not risk to sell the particular young players that you mentioned here because they will be the future of the team when the big boys in the team now become very old. Rumors have been circulating the Internet about how Erik Ten hag is playing to sell Bruno and Rashford just to make money I think it will be a big mistake if he thinks of selling both  players just to make money for the club when the team is struggling to make it in the next season's campaign. I would advise Ten hag to offload some of the players that's no longer useful to the team why he makes plan of adding more good players that will help the team poor form

I agree about what you say, personally I don't think Ten Hag is too bad either. Ten Hag needs some additional players in defense to support his plans for next season, while he also needs to consider bringing in a productive striker because everyone knows what the problem was last season. Academy players including Garnacho and Mainoo are certainly good, but Ten Hag needs more experienced players to balance his team better.

Several other teams including Chelsea and Liverpool may need to gain focus. Both teams will head into next season with new coaches, so there may be some changes to expect including a reduction in title contention. Arsenal and Manchester City appear to be the two favorites for next season, but we never know what will happen.

While I do agree that he will not, I also think "no way" is not correct, I think it is not impossible. Imagine his status as a manager until end of days if he manages to go to United, and they let him do whatever he wants, and he builds another squad that beats everyone?

I mean we know it is not just money that wins the titles, so after Pep leaves, City will gradually get worse, and United does have money Pep can spend, so he could probably end up making that team better too, City was decent before Pep came of course, but they became amazing after him, United could be the same. Don't get me wrong, I still think he won't, I am just saying that it would not be impossible, it would be just a very low possibility thing that probably won't happen.

They seem like very interested according to recent news circulating on the internet. Many sources are talking about it however I hope we get something official soon from Arsenal side as well.  

He had an injury problem but I don't think this will affect his performance badly anyway. He is a quality striker.




Actually Arsenal started to spend way more money than we are used to see. For example look at how they spent on Declan Rice, around 120 million euros.    Therefore I think they wouldn't be hesitant about Osimhen too.

The last time I saw them they were trying to make David Raya deal permanent. So I don't expect them to sign another goalkeeper.

Those talents will not be wasted by United, which is why they have been added to the list of players who will not be sold during the upcoming summer transfer. We are getting close to the summer transfer season. Garnacho and Maino have the potential to develop even further. 
Ten Hag simply needs to give him more time to play in the starting lineup, but the bad news is that Ten Hag is interested in cashing in some iconic Manchester United players such as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. 

That idea is terrible, and I'm still hoping Ten Hag will change his mind about some iconic United players like Bruno and Rashford. 

A few seasons ago of course we could say Arsenal as a team that was stingy in player spending, but this season obviously I will refute a little opinion from you who judge Arsenal too much as a stingy team, if you pay attention in the last two seasons, you can see how Arsenal spent a lot of money on the transfer of players that they deserve to buy at a high price like when they bought Declan Rice at a high price, and isn't the appearance and performance quite worth the price?
I think Arsenal are more selective in spending their money and it is evident when they actually withdraw from the competition with Chelsea to sign Mudryk, after refusing to meet the high price demand from Shaktar Donestk and choosing to sign Trossard at a low price, isn't that also prove to be effective and selective?

Arsenal have sold as many as 19 of their players and are expected to earn almost 125 million pounds, isn't that enough to get Osimhen from Napoli at the moment?
Reportedly Arsenal have made an offer to get Osimhen but they withdrew because they thought Osimhen was not worthy of the current valuation of almost 120 million euro, although Osimhen was able to perform impressively with Napoli of course Edu has a special assessment not to recruit Osimhen, about goalkeeper, of course Arsenal already has Raya who will soon be permanent and Ramsdale at this time,   So indeed the striker midfielder is of course the main target of Arsenal at this time.

By the way, Manchester United has really talented players like Garnacho, Mainoo, Amad Diallo and more. One of their focuses should be the development of these players.

All of these players have a big potential to tell the truth. They shouldn't be wasted. They will be the future of this team. I like this side of this team as well. I always see really skilled young lads waiting for their turn to show their skills. They never fail too. Especially Garnacho - Mainoo are doing great recently.    Big teams would be after them shortly.

Would you ever want these players to be sold at this young age?    My answer will be, never!

I am always of the habit of defending Erik Ten Hang whenever people decide to call him out. I defend him by saying that he doesn't have quality active players as most of his players, especially defenders were injured last season. I still praise him for being able to win two trophies for Manchester United even with poor performances in the season.

But there's a place I have to come in and criticise him as well. Apart from the young Garnacho and Mainoo, there are other young academy players he would have given opportunity to help the club. You can attest that the little time Armed played, he was better than the whole time Anthony played. When Manchester United were in short of players, Erik Ten Hang would have opted for this academy young guys instead of playing Casimero in defence.

This manager always likes to take on new challenges. He did well for the teams he accepted the challenges of the new teams and then left that club to take charge of a new club. If there is a rumor that Manchester United has offered this manager, then it is not a matter of disbelief because Manchester United currently has the biggest problem with the manager.

There are also rumors that Manchester City may leave the current manager, Pep Guardiola. 
Manchester United may have wanted to take this opportunity and that's why Red Devil club management offered this manager to take charge of Manchester United.

He should take charge of a club in a new league according to the equation you have outlined, but if he decides to take charge of a club in the English Premier League he can do so.
