After spending up to 50m on Onana you now still want them to go and buy a new goal keeper because Onana is struggling? That’s not fair and doesn’t sound like a good business for the team. Despite all the mistakes made by Onana i think he should still be given enough time but i still believe he is a good goalkeeper maybe he is just affected by the teams poor performance because generally Manchester United is not performing well and it goes down to all the players, they are not performing to expectations so onana shouldn’t be the one to take the blame.

David De Gea shouldn’t be an option for them and if they finally decide to bring in a new goalkeeper they should buy a new keeper instead of resigning De Gea. They once complained about him so they should upgrade with a new keeper rather than bringing de Gea back. I recently watch his blunders for Manchester United why he was replaced and i think it is only right to replace him he has done his best for the club so it’s time for the next generation.

The signing of Andre Onana was not a blunder from Manchester United, but they should have given De Gea 1 season while hoping that Onana could adapt well. Manchester United did not do this at all and allowed De Gea to leave on a free transfer. Of course, this makes Andre Onana the main choice in various competitions when he might have been better off if he only played in one or two different competitions in his first season.

Injuries to defensive players are also the reason why Andre Onana's performance hasn't been good, but I think he can still perform better. Manchester United will travel to Bramall Lane this week to face Sheffield, so it is a good opportunity for Onana and the Manchester United squad to avoid defeat or drop points. Sheffield is in last place with 1 draw and 7 defeats in 8 matches, so of course this is a match that will be easy for Ten Hag's squad to win.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the coach or his decision to allow Maguire to play for the club. Maguire has already spent a significant amount of time on the bench as a result of his poor performance for the club. After this period, I saw some progress in his game and believe he should be given another chance to prove himself worthy of his position. He is also starting for England, and I see no reason why he won't start for Manchester United if his style of play fits with the playing formation they intend to utilise for the match.


I believe that putting too much faith in a player is a bad idea. Because when a player joins a new team, he does not immediately comprehend their game pattern. This takes time. Onana's poor performance cannot be condemned solely on him; any error from the defence will always result in a goal, for which the goalkeeper will be blamed every time. If Manchester United wants to see Onana improve, they must also improve their defence. Only then will Onana's worth be recognised, and Eric Ten Hag would be praised for bringing him to the club.

To be compared to Erling Haaland, you have to be remarkable. What's happening with Rasmus Hojlund? Haaland has a combination of speed, strength, and stamina that is rare in football. Hojlund has will, spirit, and determination but also has incredible technical qualities. He still has a lot of development potential at just 20 years old. We have to wait and see what else he shows.
But in terms of support, Haaland has much better support. He has excellent, supportive teammates, plus legendary teacher Pep Guardiola. Hojlund will not be comparable to Haaland. While playing with Erik ten Hag's struggling team.

Bellingham is a player with potential comparable to Haaland. Why don't we see that?

Chelsea have improved quite significantly after slumping last season, but so far they have not achieved their best performance, but to be able to return to their best performance, Chelsea needs a process and now they are in the process of doing this.
It is true that this weekend's match against Chelsea will be very difficult for Chelsea even though they will be playing at home, but the chances of them getting points are quite small and I think that is normal because currently Chelsea and Arsenal have quite different performances.

In fact, Erling Haaland's current good performance cannot be separated from the strong support from the entire Manchester City squad.
And that is in contrast to Hojlund who is now in the Manchester United team which is in decline.
No player can fight alone in a team.

I couldn't agree more and I believe that it will depend on whether Pep Guardiola is able to keep Haaland in the team or not. At least it will play a role because there would be a great synergy between them breaking records together. Although it still surprises me when I think about Pep Guardiola leaving Barcelona when he was actually coaching the best player of all times in his prime, but I think that Pep wanted to prove he can also win titles without him. But Pep and Barcelona back then was the perfect match and now it is Manchester City sand him. I hope that they will stay together for many years to come. Would be sad if he becomes a national coach too soon whom we only get to see a few times a year.

The way Chelsea are performing at the moment, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are very easy to plan against this team. Chelsea is a big name in Premier League but they are not a big team according to current performance. Arsenal will definitely be ahead in the match they have against Arsenal. Arsenal beat Manchester City is not why Arsenal is being put ahead Arsenal are performing much better than Chelsea that is why Arsenal is being put ahead in the match against Chelsea. Even if Personal did well against Chelsea, victory would not be easy for them. Arsenal are favorites in this match but will have to fight hard to get full points against Chelsea.

Indeed, Erling Haaland can be the best striker because he has full support from his teammates, especially with KDB, he is pampered with classy assists so that with his positioning ability he can do his job well to score goals. Rasmus Hojlund at Manchester United does not have a partner like that and sometimes their midfielders are also less creative in creating opportunities. The difference between these two strikers is actually fundamental and maybe if Rasmus Hojlund gets support from his partner with neat passes, it is possible that little by little he will be able to catch up to Erling Haaland's level.

So, basically Erling Haaland can become the best striker thanks to the full support of the Manchester City players and Rasmus Hojlund doesn't have that completely at Manchester United. So Rasmus Hojlund will often feel pressure in every match and it is not easy.

Yes, if we compare these two players it is clear that in my opinion there is a significant difference and I think we also know it, and also Hojlund himself has responded to the question that he admits that his level is still far behind when compared to Haaland, and one of them we can see from the achievements they have achieved, for Haaland it is clear that he has won the Treble Winner with Manchester City last season and there are only a few clubs that can achieve such high achievements in my opinion because it is clearly very difficult.

True, if Hojlund had responded to the question by saying that his performance was on the same level as Haaland then I would have thought that there would be a lot of criticism coming at him because he had exaggerated and said something that didn't match the facts. But what impressed me was his statement that he was willing to accept the difference in terms of performance and achievements with Haaland, which is certainly difficult to match. On the other hand I admit Hojlund Hojlund does have a pretty good sharpness on the front lines, but it's too early if we compare him from now on with one of the world's best players like Haaland, and well with the talent he already has then I also believe Hojlund will be able to be better and more violent in the next few years, we'll see.

We can also accept that Rasmus Hojlund is a fantastic striker because he stated that Erling Haaland was the best striker in the world but not the best player in the world. Rasmus Hojlund's team doesn't help him score goals more easily, but if he had teammates who could help, I think he could compete with Haaland in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford should be passing to Rasmus Hojlund whenever he has the ball, but the stupid player has promised to score 40 goals this season while refusing to do so. Anthony Martial should be preferred over Marcus Rashford, in my opinion, since I have confidence in him and know he won't make the same mistakes Rashford did when holding the ball.



Exactly because Chelsea performances often come from unexpected places, they might lose strength against Arsenal. Specifically, if Chelsea can sustain the last performances they performed against Fulham and Burnley, it can enable them to make it so difficult for Arsenal to win them. It will be very difficult to predict what Chelsea will play against Arsenal due to their unpredictable performances, but if they can manage their previous performed, I think they can draw with Arsenal. Because this season no club can currently compete with the Gunners.

Manchester United made a blunder when they decided not to renew De Gea contract, then Ten Hag recommended Onana's name to be De Gea successor in Manchester City core squad. Ten Hag's trust in Onana, even though he often performed poorly, seemed to want to cover up his mistakes regarding his decision to bring in Onana. Ten Hag hopes that Onana can perform as well as when he was still defending Inter Milan, but Ten Hag hopes are still very far from reality.
My assessment of Manchester United's performance this season is due to the wrong decision made by Ten Hag, he placed too much trust in players who often make blunders rather than giving opportunities to players who can do their job well.

It's only small improvement but we didn't even know whether he was only lucky enough or not. Meguire needs to train how to defending properly. He was not getting a lot of burden when he was being placed as central back but the different story once he will be placing at the right back.
He will be making so many blunders. I don't even know whether he was not feeling confidence to play on that position or not but im sure if he is having potential. Meguire just need to know where the hell is his fault in the previous game and try to be better.

Meguire has been also getting some offers but that offers were not really making him feel satisfied caused by the salary offered by new club is far smaller compared with manchester united. This is the main reason why he is willing to stay even longer in manchester united this time.
Ten hag needs to give him second chance to proves himself. He can still worthy enough for the club. Harry deserves second chance from ten hag. The fans need to tell him about that.

yes bro,Harry Maguire is indeed one of the most expensive players after Paul and Antony. Maybe initially MU had its own reasons when buying Harry Maguire in the transfer market even though in reality there were quite a few mistakes made by this defender or defender.
it looks like
making Westham still want to protect 1/3 of MU buying from Leicester City.

There are those who are still being retained at MU, the coach still believes in Harry Maguire's achievements and is joining him to host Copenhagen or even the Man Utd team.

or even coaches are still thinking far beyond what many people think, including funds for new players and time to adapt again to the regular season.

Manchester United less compete in goal keeper position this possibility why have underperformed with Andre Onana but still get regular position on every matches all competition from domestic league and champion league. Onana back up filled by Tom Heaton and Dean Henderson are not get their first appearance with Manchester United in Premier League or champion league match. I think difficult with goal keeper position exactly for Onana will have good performance if have the same level performance with second or third goals keeper.
Manchester United's defend too weak in this season beside many of defended absent for important match, next winter transfer will open two months later and United have make more better perform with defense by looking new defender.

Hojlund aware if he don't have any big achievement compared to Haaland which has won treble winners, so he just a respect to Haaland. If he said he's in a same level or better than Haaland, he will receive many criticism and would destroy his career if he can't perform.

Hojlund is a good player, maybe he will shine in the next 2-3 years.

The fact that this is not the first time Asernal has defeated Manchester City makes the mate statement to be valid and accurate in all senses,  this is because Asernal has been one of the clubs that have been giving Manchester City a tough run-off in the premiere for a long time now and being a one time EPL title holder,  Asernal still can lift the EPL title once again in this or the next season.

Just like the previous season,  Arsenal put forth a good fight in the first game against Manchester City and that is something highly commendable of them,  but then also we have to acknowledge one fact and that is that, Arsenal may not be able to become the league's title holder because the club is still moving in the same directions as to where they moved the last time which cost them their number position on the premier league's table.

But in this season let's see how things turn out to be for the clubs,  but to a great extent,  this season is still heading in the direction of the last season when though Arsenal won their first leg against Manchester City.

It cannot be denied that losing several important players last season such as Mahrez and Gundogan had an impact on Haaland performance this season. Of course Kevin de Bruyne is the most important because Haaland's total of 13 goals came from assists created by Kevin de Bruyne.

Currently new players Doku and Kovacik do not have a playing style like Mahrez or Gudogan, who mostly supply Haaland. Therefore, there is transparency in the attack that each builds rather than supplies to Haaland.

Being the top scorer last season, Haaland should be able to show this season as proof that Manchester City still deserves to win the trophy next season. Because if Kevin de Bruyne still can't recover from his injury, I'm not sure Haaland can stand out in every match. In several matches that Haaland played, he did not contribute much.

Like it or not, the defeat against Arsenal was a big lesson in how important the role of the top players that Manchester City had last season was.

I remember MU fans were over proud toward him and those fans were comparing haaland to the hojlund which is a non sense comparison at this moment. Hojlnud obviously right about that if haaland was in another level yet haaland's performance is dropping a bit due to the lack of creative attacking midfielder in the club. Haaland has won treble winners last season with manchester city. I think that city is likely trying to defend its trophy for this season. Hojlund needs to prove himself to make at least 30 goals total in a season to compete with haaland.
Hojlund is good and his dribbling is so brilliant but we can't even deny that if he is still far from haaland at this moment. The thing that lacks from him is about good positioning.
Hojlund needs to positioning himself in the right place when he was aiming to receive the deflected ball. He needs also to learn from the senior to be a better striker for the future. So far, hojlund is only a sense recruitment by united while the rest are just dumb transfers from MU.
Onana, mason, reguilon were failed transfers.

He can say it to hide fact that he wants to leave the club or he actually wants to fight for a position in Manchester United defense system. Though he has willingness and ambition to fight for his position, with Ten Hag's tactical philosophy, chance for Maguire is very slim.

With some matches and opportunities given by Ten Hag, I can not say Maguire proved his ability well and his performances only makes his chance becomes smaller and slimmer with time. This season can be the end for his career in Old Trafford and I am very surprising to see he still stays in Manchester United. Euro 2024 will come next summer and if Maguire won't be careful, won't have chances to play regularly, his position in England national team can be at risk too.

Onana actually made some mistakes and contributed to some losses of Manchester United but it's unfair to say everything is his responsibility. At beginning, it is wrong to think that a single player, a goalkeeper can improve a defense system that has many holes. Manchester United's defensive strength comes from many positions, goalkeeper, defenders and midfielders or if seriously we can also say players at their front line too.

There are reports that VAR officials Darren England and Daniel Cook who took part in last month's fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool will return to Premier League duty this weekend. The errors committed was terrible and it cost Liverpool a point or more which as a result made both Referees, England and Cook to be dropped from last EPL weekend's fixture list. This thing keeps reoccurring and nothing seems to be done about it.

Lee mason was dropped from the PGMOL after that blunder last season vs Brentford. Guess what?? He has been reinstated this season. If they don't investigate PGMOL and people's fathers go to jail for match fixing like they did in Italy, mistakes will continue to happen because it seems powers that be are pulling the strings from upstairs.
PGMOL have been doing this nonsense for too long and it's time clubs stand up for against this organization. It’s so annoying that the Referees know the rules yet they seem to deliberately flout it knowing they’ll only get a match ban. PGMOL needs to do more.
