Maybe Manchester United really has to change the team on a large scale and start again from zero. Because what I see at the moment is that the Manchester United squad doesn't seem to have good chemistry or chemistry anymore.
Changing the team drastically? Isn't that too much? The club has to spend a lot of money to recruit players and they also need to sell some players if they want to change everything, but I don't think that's a good idea. The club only needs to recruit a few players who really need to be fixed. Amorim needs to sort out the players who are suitable according to him and the players who are not suitable can be removed or loaned to other clubs so that he can build a team that suits what he wants.

In fact, it would be the right decision, another thing is that it is simply impossible for financial reasons. United (like probably any other club) cannot afford to change the team entirely when changing the coach. Therefore, United are expecting targeted changes that will gradually lead to the team that Amorim wants. As for selling/renting players, I don't think there are many options. Who needs Rashford with his salary? PSG were after him before Ten Hag.

Sadly, MU owned garbage management who could not explore the loopholes like Chelsea. They were overconfident with their current roster. I know they have won 2 trophies, but can't really deny the fact their current roster is garbage now.

Things are changing so fast, and never expected them to go down even deeper to the out of top 10 EPL. They have tried to put some of players to sale in the last summer window, and they rarely got offer for their players. It seems to me they have to start from the scratch.
I believe that the management of Manchester united is the cause of what Manchester united is going through right now, because they shouldn't have retain Eric ten hang in the summer, and honestly speaking, that's their greatest error, with all the financial support that he had from the hierarchy of Manchester united, their was no improvement from the team which led to his sacking, but it was late, the new manager need a preseason with club to push out those garbage player and acquire his own type of players in other to succeed, because I believe that if Jose Mourinho, Luis van gaal or ole gunnar solskjaer was given the kind of support Eric ten hang had at Manchester united, one of these manager that I made mentioned would have won the league since then till now.
So I think that a serious rebuilding needs to be done for Manchester united to get back to their feet again.

It's a fight against the two then although the only reason why I feel Manchester united would be having an upper hand in the race would be because of the influence of the present coach as he was the former coach of the striker and would have more leverage in convincing him to come play and help united in their quest to refurbish the old glory of the Manchester united we know.
At the moment Manchester United should have more luck when meeting Manchester City who in their last ten games have only managed to win one match when hosting Nottingham Forest. So Manchester United can take more steps to make more surprises through their new manager's breakthroughs this weekend when they play as guests at Manchester City's home later. Because Manchester City are in a less than good condition so the level of luck for the match should be more potential for Manchester United to get this weekend.

Amorim needs a serious strategy to drive the club forward. What Manchester united is facing now is multidimensional, for instance, Manchester United has an issue with their squad composition. While there's an overload of attacking players, there's equally an issue with a limited defensive which was an issue underlayed by the past administration of Eric Ten Hag, now Amorim needs to fix that in the midst of a limited resources available to him. They must also work on their recruitment process and strategy which is something I believe Amorim have to address in the interim.

Amorim's tenure is working on a formation that'll strengthen the team's forward line. And the player he's eyeing to do that job is Gyokeres. But the problem is that PSG seem to have an eye on the player. He has scored 22 goals in 18 matches, including a hat trick against man City on November 5. His performance can be duplicated in Man U to help lift up the club's position in the EPL.

Manchester United was once a very popular team in the English Premier League and the position of this team in the Premier League was very good, but due to the selection of the wrong manager, Manchester United performed very badly for a few seasons. Ever since the new manager took charge of Manchester United, fans have seen renewed hope for Manchester United. Many are saying that Manchester United will definitely return to their former glory under this manager. As they could not change their positions much despite relying on multiple managers. But since the current manager was given charge of Manchester United, the current manager has improved Manchester United well. So if he has a long-term plan and if he can bring quality players to the club according to his plan, then maybe Manchester United can get back to what it was before.

I think it's not an exaggeration because we can see that Chelsea did that and now their performance has slowly improved so Manchester United should also try that because several seasons have passed with many changes there has been no better progress from the Manchester United team and the current problem is with the players who seem unable to unite the chemistry to create cohesion so that the team's performance grows better, so in my opinion if they want to change then Manchester United management must dare to do something big, namely overhauling the entire current squad.
Can a major overhaul of players guarantee that the club will immediately experience good changes? Yes, I know Chelsea is currently starting to improve but isn't that thanks to Enzo Maresca's expertise? Previously, Chelsea overhauled the team on a large scale but its performance continued to decline so the conclusion depends on the coach himself, whether he is able to make his club perform optimally in all conditions, whereas previously Erik Ten Hag had also spent a lot of money to recruit players but his mistake was recruiting the wrong players so that the club could not develop properly.

We are witnessing another era of Premier League, the way Manchester City is having a nightmare on their performance is pity to me personally, I literally don't understand their games any more and I don't know who to blame exactly at this point. Guardiola hasn't given up on them, he motivates and has continue put the players in appropriate place but the players are not in good mode to yield that to something, it's a matter of time before Nottingham over take them in the table.
To be honest, they are really in a serious position, their performance has been very bad this season. In the Premier League, they honestly haven't been able to consistently compete optimally in every match. There are even many things that are in vain. It's just that, as a big club, they can always convince that they are fine, but in reality they are not.

even, in the UCL they are like that. Their failure from the match vs Juventus this time added to their series of defeats, and finally fell to position 22 in the UCL. Falling below Real Madrid due to losing to Juventus 2-0.

Again, they controlled the ball, but not with optimizing their attacks to become goals. This is what is bad happening to the club lately, and this is a serious problem.

Manchester city are in really hot soup this season and the funny thing is that I really can't remember the last time Manchester city had this many losses, I mean it's just crazy seeing them not being able to recover from their bad form and the worse part is that they find it very very difficult to create chances and finish up those chances. Yesterday game was something else and it was so tempting once more to play them to win as everyone would be feeling they would definitely win their next game but the losing just keep going on.

We have the derby in Manchester for this week which presents an exciting match between a new coach and the legend Pep. We all know, that both are not fine within this week, did not get the win, and have trouble with the squad. Amorim ever defeated him on previous club, Sporting with huge winning, will it happen again?. Pep is still have problem with defender where Rodri as the motor of defense, and attacking got injury for long time. he hasn't been able to find a good replacement for that position so that make the club always on not good performance. While Amorim, he still have problem in combining the squad, and still looking for a good formula to make it effective.

I think the result draw is possible when look at how both how bad they were in the previous match.

Squad overhauls must go hand in hand with a balanced financial sheet, otherwise, Manchester United will face FFP sanctions. Amorim certainly needs new players, but I don't see the management agreeing to all his requests in the January transfer window. Actually, not all problems can be solved through the transfer market, sometimes with a different approach, players can regain their best form.

On the other hand, Amorim is still in the adaptation phase, there's a lot of mess inherited from Ten Hag, and it can't be fixed in a short time. Regardless of all that, I believe Amorim has the ability to boost Manchester United performance in the future, and it's not impossible for them to finish in the European zone this season. Manchester United also has a chance to qualify for the Champions League next season, they must make the best use of the Europa League.

FFP sanctions must be avoided and Manchester United need to look at options for the player support needed by Amorim so that they can compete with other strong teams.
Manchester United have spent a lot of money to buy players when Erik Ten Hak was the coach and maybe they need to make some adjustments to the players they currently have.
The players owned by Manchester United are also not too bad but not according to Amorim's wishes because every coach must see players in a different way.

Solving problems is not only by bringing in new players but coaches can also approach players so that they can return to their best form.
The adaptation phase may not be easy because the players they currently have still cannot carry out the strategy as Amorim wants and it takes time for Manchester United to become a strong team in the League again.

Amorim is not a magician but that is what u see many people calling him or seeing him as before even joining Manchester United. Since Manchester United had him in their list to sign, the matches he played in Sporting Lisbon from that period to when he joined Manchester United was very great, and you shouldn’t think of another replacement for Eric Ten Hag asides from him. He is a very important person in the team now as all hope lies on him for the club to get back to winning ways again.

I just feel that the expectations they had for him was too much and for such expectations, fans will want to see immediate results which sometimes it doesn’t immediately reflect when they newly joined a team. Manchester United are one of the best in the world but their inconsistent and long time poor performance in the league really affected them badly. I think he should be given sometime till next year, before concluding on the stance whether he’s the best choice for the team or not.

Before we get to that one needs to be clear, Manchester United been interested in a player and PSG been interested isn’t going to be a competition because Manchester United even though they don’t play elite competitions like the PSG I think their brand globally presents itself more than the French club side, one thing that PSG might have as edge against Manchester United will be to  offer the player more money than Manchester United, same trick they have been using for the past years to lure players, other than that they can’t actually get a player that Manchester United are interested in due to global recognition.

Then the edge of Ruben Amorim been his coach is another thing again that will definitely makes is easy for Manchester United to get him to play for them

I don't know what to say about what happened in the game between Juventus vs City, things are not well with the team as it stands. Manchester City played like a league 1 club like is their first time of playing in the CL and you could see someone like Walker making some crazy errors, Doku on the other hand has lost his form. What is going on with Man City? Is not about losing a game but the way and manner they go about it is something I still can't understand. Some people will say is the Ballon d'Or Rodri won that's hunting them but let's face the reality, City are facing something which we don't know.
Both teams are not good in their respective leagues but going head to head I expected Manchester City to win this game tonight and I see them as the favorite but Juventus started playing like Man City while City started playing the way the Old Ladies are suppose to play, like both teams had to switch. With this display I don't think Man City can withstand Man UTD, the Red Devils might play better an win that game if Pep is not careful.
Maybe must of the Manchester City players are tired or are old because they are contributing to this problem. The manager is doing all he can to make sure the team's performance return to normal, but individual errors do occur by some players which must of these errors do cost the team vital points which is why it is important for every player to play with full attention.

I think Manchester City's chance of making it to the knockout stage of this competition because they have played six games, and they are sitting in the 22nd place in the group stage, and their next Champions League will be against PSG which will be another tough game for Manchester City, and if they lose to PSG, they should forget their Champions League goal for this season and they are not favorites to win the Champions League.

I think I'd go with this old players surrounding the squad, we know the players have tried starting from when Pep joined the team we saw some of these players and they are still with him and doing well but we hardly see some changes in the squad, Pep still use these players and now that they are old especially the midfield is giving him problems even when he tries to cover up their mistakes they still make more errors that will hit the club too hard that Pep will be left frustrated.
Playing against PSG is not the issue, the question is "can they be at their best when it's time to play PSG? My major concern is how weak they become every game they play and before talking about qualifying, how are they (City) going to handle Man UTD? Because the way I'm seeing them play I can smell another defeat and it would be a shame for Amorim to beat Pep Guardiola on his first meeting against City.

The blames that have continually been tossed around is one that is beginning to sound like a broken record already, I mean how did we get tot he point where the expectations are now for a complete overhaul of the full Manchester United squad, let's say that should be put to consideration, have the economic effect of such in the team been put to considerations?, even if they are one of the richest teams in England, it's not enough reason for them to even attempt that, if there are key players that should be changed and the others kept, that would be a great idea but the complete overhaul isn't the best at the moment.
Making a major overhaul is not one of the best ways but making a gradual overhaul is a better choice. And I think Amorim will not do this because in january Amorim must have had several new player candidates and after that the rest will be done at the end of the season. Well, maybe after making a gradual overhaul, the team's performance will not increase that quickly but of course all of that takes time for Amorim to provide evidence. The most important thing right now is that Amorim must try to bring Man United to the best position or at least in the top 5.

Certainly in this case it takes time but actually there are still some things and some players that need to be improved in several positions for Chelsea because in the end from looking at their current performance they are still not neat in minimizing performance especially for the defense area which is sometimes not very good and always easily missed in goals even though maybe this happens due to lack of cooperation and can be improved again but on the other hand in the end if this is left then it is certain that things like this will become more serious in the end.

Chelsea need to work on their defense and also need to sign a new goalkeeper if they want to compete for the title this season. They're in the title race but don't have the defence to back them up which causes them to concede goals cheaply. Although the blame for the two early goals was put on Marc Cucurella boots but it was a clear error in defending that allowed the goals to happen. Other defenders should have been quick to assist cucurella after the mistake was made and they would have avoided those goals but atleast the early conceding gave energy to the players in playing in the way they did and ended up winning the game, which was nice to watch.

It won't be easy to change the entire team of Manchester United because that will be alot of money, but the truth is that their are some players that are expected to play key role in the team which I don't want to mention, they really need to be replaced because they are not helping the performance of the team and they are not making any effort to improve.  Little changed of players in the team can change the performance of the team for good. Some of the players in Manchester United are to relaxed and it doesn't make any sense for this  to keep happening.

Maybe Manchester United really has to change the team on a large scale and start again from zero. Because what I see at the moment is that the Manchester United squad doesn't seem to have good chemistry or chemistry anymore.
Changing the team drastically? Isn't that too much? The club has to spend a lot of money to recruit players and they also need to sell some players if they want to change everything, but I don't think that's a good idea. The club only needs to recruit a few players who really need to be fixed. Amorim needs to sort out the players who are suitable according to him and the players who are not suitable can be removed or loaned to other clubs so that he can build a team that suits what he wants.

In fact, the squad depth that Manchester United currently has is quite good, it's just that they are not yet accustomed to the strategy implemented by Ruben Amorim. In the future, of course, Ruben Amorim will utilize the transfer market to build squad depth that suits his strategic needs, so that it will automatically improve the team performance to be more consistent. For now, with the available options, Ruben Amorim must work hard to encourage the players to bring out their full potential. So it is not surprising that Manchester United is still experiencing ups and downs in performance at this time, everything takes time to process.

The defeat occurred because Nottingham Forest played more optimally and Manchester United were busy building attacks but they forgot to defend. Nottingham Forest also cannot be ignored because they did beat a big team like Liverpool this season, but Manchester United's defeat should not have happened if their players could consistently maintain the defense area well because if you look at it, Manchester United's dominance is much better than Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest players only had a few opportunities, but they managed to maximize them well and did not waste the opportunities that existed, that is why the coordination shown by Nottingham Forest players was much more successful in finding opportunities to score goals.
I understand that Amorim wants to play a game where they press high up, and that leaves the behind weak, because it means they are not just sitting back waiting for other teams, they are going out there and gegenpressing and that's lovely method and definitely will work eventually. But, what we have been saying about United for literally fifth season in a row right now is that they have TERRIBLE defense, their defensive players are terrible too, I would say there isn't even a single good one there to be fair, and Onana was a big terrible keeper for a while too, he looks a bit better I have to give him credit.

So the method Amorim is making them play requires faster and better defenders, and until they got some, they are not going to be any good. They need Yoro to fully heal and fit and then get another one near him this January window as well. Maybe get some amazing wing backs too, because right now, they are just using a strategy that won't work with this defense.
