Your last paragraph summarized everything and it is the most honest paragraph I have read. First, you said that right transfers can change everything for them and that is very true. If the Manchester United management could release some fund and get good and sustainable players for Erik10 I believe he will do well. You also stated that you hope that injury will not affect the squad. This was what happened to Manchester United squad last season. They do not have a very good squad depth but the available ones were grossly injured and they were not available for majority of this season. This was a very big set back to the club.

For the news of Guardiola switching to Manchester United, I'm trying to understand where the news is coming from. Will that even be possible? It is just a wishful thinking.

When it comes to club football, the level of rivalry between clubs plays a major role in the transfer of players and managers from one club to another. There's a strong rivalry between the two Manchester clubs and that's why you don't usually see players and managers that impacted hugely on one of the clubs join the other and the few that threaded that path ended up becoming a villain to the fans of the other club they first managed or played. Pep Guardiola as we all know is the greatest manager in the history of Manchester City and that's because of his incredible achievements with the club which includes winning the English Premier League title in six different occasions as well as helping the club win their first UEFA Champions League title so for a manager that's respected and worshipped by Manchester City, I don't think Guardiola will ever want to manage another English Premier League side talk more of becoming the coach of their city neighbors Manchester United.
The speculations that Pep Guardiola is going to join Manchester United in the future are all mere rumors and I strongly do not think it's ever gonna happen in the future.

I don't even see a reason for discussing a possible move for Guardiola to Manchester United. Maybe he would even like to retire or give a long break when he leaves Manchester City.

He started his coach career in 2007 with Barcelona B. 17 years... It is quite a big career so I wouldn't be surprised to see him making a similar decision to Klopp.    Jim Ratcliffe is continuing with Erik ten Hag, however... He might be running out of patience at the same time.

Erik ten Hag should plan his next season very carefully. Right transfers can change everything for them. I hope that they don't face a big injury problem like they did previously. It really affects deeply. 

It's really just a rumor, because even though Manchester United have the money to appoint Pep Guardiola but I am fully confident that Pep Guardiola will not accept Manchester United offer. Just look at how Pep Guardiola's coaching career, it is clear that Pep Guardiola has only been a manager at one club in different leagues. Barcelona-La Liga, Bayern Munich-Bundesliga and Manchester City-Premier League. Thus,  then ofcourse Pep Guardiola will not accept an offer from any team again in the Premier League, just like Klopp who will not accept an offer from another Premier League team after resigning as Liverpool manager. Therefore,about Pep Guardiola being linked with Manchester United, it is very clear that it is just a rumor that will certainly never happen.

To be honest, for now I may doubt that Arsenal can realize the transfer, Arsenal do need a central striker to be able to replace the position of Jesus and Niketiah who have indeed failed to carry out their duties well so far, but Arsenal's interest in Osimhen is of course only limited to an issue that is likely to make their fans disappointed again,  Osimhen is a pretty good striker and has a very high goalscoring instinct, so indeed if the transfer can be realized, of course Arsenal will have a very dangerous attacking line next season with Martinelli/Trossard, Osimhen and Saka.

Currently, there are many issues that associate Arsenal with many players including strikers, but in fact we have not seen a single transfer that has indeed become a reality, compared to other teams in the EPL, Arsenal is actually very passive in getting their current target players so it is not surprising that they continue to be sabotaged by rival teams in the competition to get new players,  Currently, Arsenal is linked with many players and is no different from what happened last season but in fact, until the transfer market closed, Arsenal did not bring in a single new player and clearly disappointed their fans.   

Osimhen is capable of helping Napoli win the scudetto last season and even now he has scored 76 goals in his 133 appearances with Napoli, Osimhen performance with Napoli has actually been quite good since he arrived from Lille in 2020, his performance so far has been quite consistent in scoring goals and even when he was injured while defending Nigeria last season,  But he can still be aggressive when recovering and helping Napoli in the rest of their matches, Osimhen is indeed a striker who has a pretty good goalscoring instinct, but even so, the price set by Napoli is very high in my opinion compared to other strikers who have the same performance as Osimhen.

Arsenal who failed to get Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig at the moment, after he decided to stay and extend his contract at Leipzig, so indeed now Arsenal are starting to target other strikers for them to get, indeed previously Arsenal also wanted Osimhen from Napoli but Napoli who did not want to lower the price of Osimhen made Arsenal withdraw at this time, I personally am not sure if Napoli does intend to keep Osimhen even though it is part of the Important of Napoli squad last season, it is reported that De Laurentiis ready to sell Osimhen if there is indeed a team that is able to meet their demand of €120 million.

Individually Osimhen is quite good, but last season Osimhen's performance declined slightly due to the injury he suffered.

This is a good target for Arsenal, but it is not easy for Arsenal to get it because Napoli is trying to keep Osimhen and there are also several other teams who are ready to make an offer.
I am a little pessimistic about Arsenal being able to get him because Arsenal is not a team that is ready to spend big money on a player.

Arsenal has been looking for a striker who can be of a great use for them next season. Recently their target is said to be Osimhen.

It would be a wonderful transfer honestly.    Osimhen is one of the most talented strikers available in today's football. We have all seen what he was capable of under a solid management of Spalletti. I don't have any doubt about him with Arteta either. Because Arteta is a manager who handles young talents like him quite well. We have witnessed that so far by their being very competitive for a Premier League title for two years. 

He would cost Arsenal a lot of money though but sacrifices need to be made for greater success.

Injuries are unpredictable and several key players can be injured in a season. 

If you look at Real Madrid, their starting XI was plagued with injuries last season but they didn't stop because of injuries, they won the Champions League and La Liga titles with their bench players. If you weaken the bench eleven by only strengthening the ones you keep in the starting XI then you will be in danger by the middle or end of the season. Manchester United planned only regular eleven players but when the regular eleven players got injured, the bench players did not support Manchester United well. 

Of course the manager is responsible for this because why didn't the manager think about this beforehand. What kind of manager is he if he doesn't care that much? What will happen in an entire season should be considered first and then planned for the entire season. Those who plan in this way are basically competent managers.

I don't think Pep Guardiola would want to coach the Manchester United team after having an amazing working experience with the citizens and her wonderful players and the moments they spent together winning lots of trophies nah that would be a big mistake for him to make cause he's already a legendary in the history of Manchester City.

If Pep Guardiola should consider taking the United job to later in future after leaving Manchester City then I think he's not going to need just time to reform the team he will be needing a lot of money to recruit new players and if the club is able to find him a lot of money to sign players, with what he did in Manchester City he can as well do well with the United team. Changing the name of the stadium is not necessarily needed to attract sponsors United is a big name already and of the team gets back to good form more sponsors will surely come not minding the coach nor the name of the stadium but I hope to see the team getting better next season under the management of Erik Ten hag.

Let's not say he would "never" sign with them, it would be silly to say something like that because more shocking things has happened in football world. I think he would sign if he thinks that it's a worthy task, like if he could turn United into a winning team then he would be considered one of the (if not the) best to ever do it, which could be something he could be interested in.

However, he could of course reject for obvious reasons as well, we just don't know. Plus it is a team with a great potential, doesn't mean they are great, just means that their future potential is great, and Ancelotti is at Real Madrid for a while longer, by the time his contract ends, he may go to United that is a lot better than right now, who knows?

Giving more time to Ten Hag after what he showed this season and the previous season is clearly a condition that is a dilemma in the end because with what he is showing now, with all the conditions that are not going smoothly, giving him 1 year is the song clear as the real dilemma.

Making a proposal for Ancelotti or Pep too is a ridiculous proposal in the end because in any case it will never happen for Manchester United because the conditions for this proposal are more difficult than trying to sack Ten Hag.

As for the problem of criticizing the coach, in the end it is a common and normal thing because in the end when a club's performance is not going well then the coach must be the one who must be responsible and it has become a consequence for a coach in this case, therefore the coach is clear must be required to give the best and must be prepared for the pressure and all the criticism that is received.

It seems to me that Manchester United management are not interested in wasting money by paying Ten Hag the remainder of the contract. This is why the Manchester United management is keen to terminate the contract with Ten Hag.

Manchester United won the FA Cup title. However, Manchester United's performance in the Premier League last season was very poor and erratic. Ten Hag had enough time to strengthen this group. Manchester United management provided large funds to strengthen their squad. But Ten Hag has completely failed to strengthen this team. So I don't see any reason to keep Ten Hag as coach. United management is not interested in paying the remainder of the contract to Ten Hag. And perhaps United management is yet to find an experienced coach. Both of these could be the reasons why Manchester United did not change their coach.

There are several reasons why Manchester United is still retaining Ten Hag rather than signing another coach who has more experience in leading the team to win trophies. Successfully presenting the FA Cup Trophy is a consideration for Manchester United management. This success has led to Manchester United appearing in the Europa League this season.
Another reason may be that Manchester United does not want to spend money to pay the remainder of Ten Hag contract. Ten Hag must be aware of his current condition, after failing to bring Manchester United to a better position, there are many oblique issues coming his way, he must be able to improve Manchester United performance to keep his position safe.

Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti are currently comfortable at the clubs they manage and I don't think they will leave the club anytime soon so Manchester United has to wait for these coaches to leave their respective clubs so they can bring in one of these great coaches but I'm not sure These great coaches are willing to accept offers to coach clubs like Manchester United un less they want a more difficult challenge. Manchester Uniteden is still an elite club in the Premier League, but their glory has begun to fade and coaches must build performance from the bottom if they want to improve the club's performance. But sorry, I don't agree with that statement your said it was impossible for Manchester United. Anything can happen if a coach wants to try to coach a club that is full of challenges. Manchester United is a big club. They need a coach with good experience to restore their success. Moreover, I have never heard of Man U experiencing difficulties. finances so if the club is able to get one of these coaches then the management will let the coach change the players according to their wishes.

Manchester United still have hopes for Erik Ten Hag rather than other coaches with the proposal that will be a little more completed to add Manchester United's confidence let alone add some staff, is this also Erik Ten Hag's wish?
I just want to know what will be done when the season starts soon, whether this will make a good enough change or the team remains stagnant like the previous season, more great with two FA trophies, Erik Ten Hag can survive but it's a good thing they can win trophies rather than nothing.

Asking Pep Guardiola to manage Manchester United is like asking him to go manage Real Madrid, it'll never happen, I don't even know why someone will bring up such a thought but it's okay to think and spit your opinion. But, like I said, it'll never happen honestly.

Don't even think about it, Manchester United already has a good coach amd they'll definitely see success with Erik Ten Hag within the next few seasons, I don't blame those who slander him, they don't bsee his capabilities. If he wanted to be a Manchester United manager, he would have rejected then offers from Manchester City in thr very beginning.

I don't know what plans they have but since they say it's change, change doesn't come easily, if you're not part of that change, it'll be difficult for you accept, so it's what it is right now. They should do whatever they want but most importantly ,get Manchester United back to the top levels competing hard again.

We don't think much about the Guardiola issue you mentioned.
Most recently, Manchester United will give Erik ten Hag the opportunity and Erik ten Hag's contract extension proposal will be completed in the near future by adding several staff to help Erik ten Hag's work next season.

Regarding the possibility of Guardiola going to Manchester United because United is Man City's main rival or so on, that is not important to us.

You can say it's impossible to happen today, but you never know what will happen in the future. I probably believe that Pep Guardiola would not accept a proposal from Manchester United even if it were in the future, it would obviously hurt everyone at Manchester City. Manchester United will likely bring in another top coach instead of Pep Guardiola or Ancelotti, so these rumors are still too far from reality even though they are possible.

Pep Guardiola and Ancelotti are both interested in coaching the national team. Ancelotti was rumored to be coaching Brazil, but I don't know what Pep Guardiola wants. Pep could coach England for the next few competitions if he really wants to usher in a new era for England, but I tend to take the stance that Pep will coach Spain.

I have big doubts on a probability like Guardiola to work with Manchester United after leaving his current job.    It is Manchester City's direct rival we are talking about above all else.

Besides Guardiola would need a lot of time to turn Manchester United into just the kind of a team he would like. Who knows how much money they would need to spend. Even now it is said they are planning a name change on their stadium to attract sponsors. Obviously their finances aren't in good shape then. Aside from that, I would like to see them not needing Guardiola at all. I just wish to see Erik ten Hag making a big improvement this season.
