Going by your opinion we could say Andre onana isn't a world class player then, because what makes a world class player is one who can adapt and play anywhere regardless of the atmosphere and pressure and will still deliver excellently, if he can't withstand the pressure in premiere league then he can't be seen as the best because you can be seen as the best when you play in such league and still maintain your prowess.

Manchester united is expected to get a win from Sheffield this week, anything less isn't expected of them and I'm sure ten hag knows how much this match could mean to them in the Premier league especially as it regards their position on the table and stepping up the table, if they eventually win this match, the positive effect it will have on them can't be overly emphasised,

Manchester city will have an interesting game to watch playing against Brighton, because it's going to be their first game after the international break and they will be playing with a complete squad were injured players are back to the team, I'm hoping they win the game because I'm sure Brighton will give them a hard time but then I trust gadiolas tactics to be enough to get them delivered.

Maybe United parting ways with Ronaldo was the right move (age and all that) but the way it was done was absolutely unacceptable. Firstly, Ten Hag initially said that he needed Ronaldo and was counting on him, but after such words he kept him on the bench, naturally this led to a scandal. Secondly, Ronaldo is a United legend and in time everyone will remember that one man (Ten Hag) imagined himself to be more than the club and the management did not put him in his place in time. It is obvious that Ten Hag is not ready to coach top clubs. He worries more about his status than normal interaction with players

Initially, it was the best idea made by Ten Hag since he was looking for a better substitute for De Gea in terms of modern goalkeeping in distributing passes to players with confidence, not with fear.
Onana possessed the quality that Ten Hag was searching for, but sadly those qualities weren't going to stop Manchester United from conceding goals or act as a winning streak for them.

At this challenging time for Manchester United, Ten Hag should instigate a different football pattern for his team players, rather than starting from the back to make passes to the front

Onana is having hard time at United but that doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper, plus after having a few bad games, players tend to get worse because of lack of morale and he may have lost his focus. When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

Stress on these players are at all time high and they did fine last year, finished third and he is one of the new guys, he will be thinking all these fans are saying they were third with de gea and they are terrible with Onana, so that makes him worried too. All these combined makes him even worse, but normally he was fine last year.

I think Erik ten Hag decision to release Ronaldo was the right decision although indeed, I also realize that Ronaldo is a role model. But yes, to play at Manchester United at that time I think Ronaldo role was not entirely important and yes, at least it was proven by Erik ten Hag success in his first season for Manchester United until successfully make Manchester United play in the Champion League again. But about De Gea indeed, it was a wrong decision because basically De Gea is still very good to stay at Manchester United. So yes, if there was no Onana at that moment, then it is very possible that Manchester United still retained De Gea. But yes, because at that moment Erik ten Hag has considered Onana, until finally Manchester United released De Gea but finally make Manchester United defense bad so far this season.

 Asides from the game between Chelsea and Arsenal, another game I'm anticipating to be exciting and tough is the Liverpool Everton game( Merseyside derby). In a total of 242 meetings, Liverpool have won 98, drawn 77 and Everton has won 67. Judging by Liverpool's previous performance, this game may be an easy one but Sean Dyke's men have been known to create upsets too because in their last five games, they have won three important ones and the game won at Brentford ground sure boosted their confidence but they will need more than confidence to help them in that game because as it stands they are at the 16th position; and a win will be needed if they hope to get a little breathing space from the relegation spot.
 Liverpool have been known to come from behind to win a game and Brighton stopped that from happening before the international break. Will it happen again when they play hosts to Everton or will Alison Becker keep a clean sheet this time?

Though Manchester United are underperforming this season but I don't think it from Eric Ten Hag even though he's got a little side of the blame based on his decision making and late hour substitutions that cause them to lose matches sometimes but he's a good coach and he proved that last season by winning a trophy for united and finishing in the top 4, the problem with Manchester united is injury crisis and lack of investment on the wrong players, I believe if they had invested on the right choice of players they would've done better than this, though some players they got are performing well though.

 Well there's no coach that hasn't experienced failure and i believe ETH is at one of the worst phase of his career and it's left for him to work hard for his team to get better, every coach has their decision to make whether it affects the team positively or negatively and his decision to let Ronaldo leave wasn't all bad cause they still finished top 3 and won a trophy but allowing Degea leave Manchester United and replacing him with Onana is a wrong decision.

It is true that I feel how the atmosphere of the Premier League is different from other leagues, and we see that the Premier League is the highest and most prestigious league.

With a super tight league there are more demands especially from fans they all ask to keep performing well of course it's ridiculous but somehow they have to maintain the quality of the game.

Will Man City be held to a draw again? Of course you must say no way, usually the 3rd defeat always happens. LOL

Chelsea, I don't believe in winning, don't put hope even though they play at home.

Haven't checked the betting market because there are a few more days to see.

We all admit that Ten Hag's first season was fantastic compared to the first seasons of coaches like Klopp or even Pep. There is no club that can suddenly be on fire and consistent, especially with a new coach, everything needs a process, for example, Man City, which has been superior in the last few seasons in the EPL since being acquired by Sheikh Mansur, has very strong financial strength but was only able to win the UCL last season.

I don't want to judge Erik Tag as a failure at this point, because there are still 30 matches left in the EPL and the journey is still very long. Regarding Ronaldo and De Gea, I think every coach must have their own set of goals for the team. We know Ronaldo is no longer young and Erik Tag needs young players, as does De Gea, he is a good goalkeeper but does not suit Erik Tag's strategy which cannot build attacks from the goalkeeper.

It's true, Andre Onana has proven his quality while playing at Inter, but the atmosphere of the Premier League is very different from Serie A. The Premier League has too much pressure which can make the players' mentality not good when they make mistakes. However, the team and its teammates should not blame Onana and Hopefully we can support him so he can perform even better.

Manchester United is not expected to have any problems when they visit Sheffield this week. They are expected to win the match easily, after all Manchester United is the favorite based on the depth of their squad. But I'm sure it's not an interesting match, but Manchester City vs Brighton and Chelsea vs Arsenal are two interesting matches on the same day.

Erik Ten Hag hasn't surpassed two seasons with Manchester United, that was his very first season with Manchester United and he was successful after passing through challenges with the squad at the very beginning.

Last season at this time would Manchester United are were already making little steps to the top four sides on top of the Premier League table. Erik Ten Hag is been affected negatively with the Injured players.
Not much to say about his signatures, I want.to give them to the end of the season before I can access and judge.

Yes it was not a blunder because Onana always performed well when he was at Inter Milan, as for when he was at Man United Onana did not perform well in addition to a lot of pressure that made his mentality even weaker, yes maybe but he has admitted his mistakes and Erik Ten Hag who always supports him.
I don't know, I'm still confused about why De Gea was not given a chance for 1 season, several rumors came out before that De Gea had lowered his salary but the club changed his view which finally he had to leave freely without an agent.

The defense factor is more because many injuries are quite influential on goalkeepers including Onana who may be overwhelmed by attacks while the defense is poor, the only one Ten Hag must be able to make efforts so that their defense looks strong.

This weekend is not too tough, Man United must be ready to perform better and win it, Sheffield team should be easier.

Confidence is a very positive thing, especially to motivate the Arsenal squad to be even better. confident, can build a team mentality and carry out a solid game. However, Arteta's focus will be divided into the two matches they will play. This week, Arsenal will be hosted by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
After that, they will play an away match which is no less important on the third matchday of the Champions League group phase. This match is no less important, like the away match against Chelsea. Arteta must find a way to rotate some of his players during the Chelsea match, and targets full points to strengthen his position in the Premier League standings. even if Arenal wins over Chelsea, they will temporarily lead the top of the standings.

However, at the same time Arteta must prepare his team's squad for the away match against Sevilla. considering they are in second place, overthrowing Sevilla in the next match is a must.  In this way, Arsenal secured their position in the Group B phase. Well, because these two matches are close to each other, this means that Arteta must have another strategy so that his team is ready to take on these two matches. Meanwhile, Chelsea, even though Arsenal are superior, Poche will not allow his team to be overthrown so easily. they also need full points, in order to improve their position on the standings. It's just that to overthrow Arsenal, Chelsea must do their job very well. because this match still has a time gap, let's just wait for it to be held.

His performance in england was different compared with manchester united. Look at his appearances this season. He was only playing a few matches with united.



Im also reminding you that if meguire was also very often started from the bench. This proves if ten hag is not yet trusting this guy to be included as starting line up. Meguire has been making too many mistakes. It's hard for him to regained ten hag's trust again.
Meguire may also leave from this club and i do believe if manchester united has no interest to extend his contract in MU.

Meguire was good in england but not in united. Im also saying about the fact. MU needs a great defender who can protect the goal net from opponents. It's not harry meguire.
Ten hag needs to find someone who is capable enough in doing it.

I hope MU will find someone who is capable to do that. A great defender needed by MU

In fact, Harry Maguire is not only important for Manchester United, but Harry Maguire still seems to be an important player for the defense line of the England national team. Because after all, Harry Maguire was still a player in the starting eleven for England match against Italy yesterday and yes, England won with a score of 3-1 in that match too. Also, Harry Maguire managed to provide an assist for McTominay goal in the match against Brentford before the international break yesterday. After all, basically Harry Maguire was a reliable player when Harry Maguire was still playing at Leicester at that time but yes, after Harry Maguire played at Manchester United in fact Harry Maguire made mistakes very often.

It hasn’t surpassed two season, this season is his second season but definitely he needs to be getting results far better what United have been able to achieve so far. Last season he went all the way in the four competitions he was involved in and won 1 and went to the knockout stages of 2 and then finish third in the league which was considered a success considering Manchester recent performances. This transfer window I would say I expected Erik Ten Hag to have gotten some better players to add to his squad but he didn’t, something that I wouldn’t want to blame him for but the management. The Glazers have always been a major problem to this Manchester United club since they bought it, they even got worse when Sir Alex left and this can be seeing by them rejecting a clear sale after a potential buyer bid an amount almost 2x the worth of the club’s valuation and they opted for a serial business partnership.

As for Ten Hag having issues with his players, definitely there is no manger that doesn’t have a problem with certain players regarding most especially the biggest ones in the squad. The problem with him is how he ousted them from the squad which in some way wasn’t professional but was certainly needed if he actually wants to control the dressing room

Same thing I've been complaining about Eric ten hag, he is full of trial and error, when I noticed this was when he had issues with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo was obviously the best attacker united had that season, he started putting him on the bench, as if he had a better plan, some times he played him towards the end of the match, a player that is capable of turning around the game in your favour. I knew he was doing that to prove a point to Ronaldo, that he is under him his control as a manager, so can do whatever he wants.  David de gea was doing just fine with United, why on earth did he not renew his contract. Ten hag went and brought onana a colossal failure to team. Ten hag needs more learning, United is too big to be managed by a coach that doesn't have foresight.

Erik Ten Hag tenure have surpassed two seasons and we are yet to noticed any changes in the Red Devils. We are watching the exact same Old Trafford playing football again and again, with absolutely no new pattern. The only change observed are the players but things will fall in place in due time for Erik Ten Hag who's also not relenting as he concentrates completely on a new team. The only mistake committed by Erik is making inappropriate signings and also having issues with players, which is regarded as a very bad behavior as headcoach.

Yes, it is true that Haaland can perform very well and can become one of the best players in the Premier League because of the support of his teammates who always provide support such as De Bruyne who always provides assists for Haaland goals.
But because he was absent from the match it also appeared that Haaland experienced slight decline in performance and he was no longer as sharp in launching attacks even though he was still dangerous sticker player owned by Manchester City.

If we talk about Rasmus Hojlund he is actually also young striker owned by Manchester United and could have big chance of becoming Haaland competitor for the title of best player in the Premier League but this season it seems he is more focused on the Danish national team in to Euro qualifiers.
His performance with Denmark was also very good because he managed to provide seven goals with one assist in eight matches.

Actually, Ten Hag is a great coach, it's just that Man United needs a lot of time to change it, it can't be done in one or two years, the most important thing is that management must have full support. And it's true, as you said, many Man United players make blunders and what's worse is that the players don't learn from experience because they make the same blunders in other matches.

Yes, that's right, Onana is a player who makes a lot of blunders, he makes blunders, his catches don't stick, his reflexes are not good, let alone one-on-one goals, for example against Nottingham and Arsenal, not to mention his own. blunder during a Champions League match. Actually, I hope that at that time Man United will recruit Diogo Costa from Porto because he has good reflexes and good build-up, but now Ten Hag has to be smart in maximizing the existing players by continuing to develop.
