I also don't think that Pep Guardiola will extend his contract again. I already broke with his rule that he never wants to stay at the same club for longer than three years, but I think this time he will bring his time at Manchester City to an end. Or is there a possibility that he wants to break more records? Where would he even go when he leaves Manchester City? He is 52 years old now and when a coach has been with Barcelona, Bayern and Manchester City, I think there is no meaningful destination left. Unless he would one day be willing to coach Real Madrid, but that is not going to happen for several reasons. The only important destination to him would be the Spanish national team or any national team. So many coaches before him said that they want to retire not too late, but most of them didn't stick to their words because they loved the sport so much and the money became and better for them.

Onana is perfect for the club still he needs a gallant defenders to work with him, having a strong defence brings out the best in a goalkeeper.
Onana is not the major problem faced by Man United.  The head of the sraffs knows that if Onana doesn't meet up to the way they want him he will be substuted for another player at goal. Onana has worked with the coach for seasons this is not the ned of the journey.  He is good with his legs. Once a good defense is assembled,  goals conceded will be reduced.

If Pep Guardiola stays in Manchester City for another 20 years they'll surpass Manchester United not just in league titles but also Champions League. Unfortunately, I don't believe Pep would stay that long at Man City. I don't think he'll renew his contract when it expires in 2025.
He has achieved everything there is to achieve in Many City. He has become a Manchester City legend. They'll always remember. In the future, there's no way people will talk about Man City without talking about Pep Guardiola.

Manchester United doesn't look like a very well-run club. They're just surviving on history tasks. They don't know how to sign players. The club is very poorly run.
Although I don't believe the Glazers are totally at fault I believe a new owner will change a lot of things in the club.

Yes that's right. Don't be quick to judge Onana too badly because he has only played one match with Man United. Because actually he is a good goalkeeper for modern football games like today where goalkeepers must also be able to help build attacks. Man United must give him time to adapt and I think ETH still trusts Onana in the next match.

If I may say so, this type of goalkeeper like Onana is really suitable for Pep Guardiola to handle, this type of goalkeeper is indeed Pep Guardiola's favorite. He is a great goalkeeper, in this era it could be said that this type of goalkeeper is rare, but at the moment Onana is in the wrong place.

In the last meeting between these two teams last season, the match ended with a score of 1-1, at that time Manchester City was held to a draw at Brighton's headquarters. We know very well that Brighton often makes things difficult for the big teams who meet them. However, City is a much tougher team than De Zerbi's squad. Moreover, this match was held at the Etihad, City's headquarters. Apart from that, several players who were injured and suspended due to red cards are ready to return to play with their teammates. Also, Pep will not let his team experience defeat for the umpteenth time. which means, City will target full points to move back to the top of the Premier League standings.
However, after this match, City will play their match in the near future on the third matchday of the Chanpions League group stage against Young Boy in an away match. However, it doesn't matter because City have scored 6 points from the previous two matches. Even without De Bruyne who is suffering from a long injury, they will still play a good game and are targeting victory over Brighton.

On the other hand, in the last 4 matches played by De Zerbi's squad. they did not achieve positive results, two matches with defeats and two with a draw. Uniquely, this team often troubles strong opponents. Even in the previous match, De Zerbi's team was able to hold Liverpool to a draw. If I can be honest, as an Arsenal supporter, I want this match to end in a draw or defeat for City. However, if we talk from a betting perspective and the quality of City's players, they have a high probability of winning even though so far they have not shown their best version of the game.

Give Onana more time to adapt well, he only has 11 games with Manchester United. There are players who immediately fit into their new team and there are those who don't, so let Onana adapt well for his first season and see what he can prove after that.

Ten Hag gives full confidence to Onana to appear in various competitions. Onana's lackluster defense and high self-confidence appeared to cost the team on several occasions, but that is more likely to be changed rather than allowing him to play without the control of his coach. Ten Hag is responsible for his team's performance, so he has to manage everything well.

I think Ten Hag wanted a Goalkeeper that’s good with his feet, forgetting that the primary assignment of a Goalkeeper is shot saving, and honestly I think has not yet proven he is an upgrade on his predecessor David de Gea. Onana has struggled to convince Manchester United fans that he is the man that the team  can rely on in goal in the years to come.

Honestly I’m think Inter Milan’s defense played a key role in his good goalkeeping record in Italy and last season’s UCL. They provided a good cover to secure the backline and collectively made the team better. Manchester United haven’t provided the defensive security and it’s obvious that the team is suffering defensively.
Onana's struggles certainly haven't helped with Manchester United's difficult start to the season, but collectively Ten Hag's side have been well below their best.

I hope that Erik ten Hag's purchase of Andre Onana is the best choice and will defend his goal very well, but in reality I think Andre Onana is very bad as a Manchester United goalkeeper and always concedes goals.
And Andre Onana during his time as Manchester United goalkeeper has conceded 12 times in eight matches in the Premier League, and apart from that in two matches in the Champions League he conceded seven times and only kept three clean sheets in all competitions.
And I agree with you, if Manchester United's defense is not good, at least Andre Onana is a hero who should be able to guard his goal very well. But in reality he is not like that and I prefer David de Gea to return to Manchester United.

The Glazers family have been incompetent in their actions to elevates the standards of club in all areas, facilities and the team. Supporters protests and cause a riot early last season when the team was recording one of the poorest starts and having poor results in League games. The new bidder, Sheikh Jassim is competent enough to handle matters at Old Trafford and have sets important unfailing promises to the Red Devils, he's open to enchanced the club and also improves their standards of games. He's the man for the job and he will continue to push forward to have good share of the club.

Buying players is luck sometimes and Ten Hags' decision to buy Onana is not the best at all, we all know that Manchester United's defense has defaulted not having a good goalkeeper has finished everything, imagine your goalkeeper of a big club like Manchester United conceding goals in every game shows a lot of dangers to the progress of the club. the numbers are just very bad conceding 19 times is hilarious. but even if the defense is bad the keeper should be able to defend the goal post but it got to the extent Manchester United had a loss net. and the last time is Maguire and now is onana, maguire has even tried this season.

Man United's business is very profitable, even if they don't win a title, their income is still high, I think for this reason Glazer doesn't want to sell Man United. I think it is very unfortunate what the Glazer family has done to play with Sheikh Jassim. Even though we now know that Man United needs serious changes to be able to rise from adversity.

If it's like this, Glazer won't sell Man United. I am worried that Manchester City will surpass Man United in terms of achievements and I am sure that over time it will surpass Man United's English league trophy, 20 English league titles are easy to surpass for Manchester City.

Of course, it was a crucial match for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has a good chance to stop his team's streak of bad results after two unwanted defeats in the last two matches, the chance of winning is good because Manchester City is playing at home.

Brighton is not a weak team and their goal statistics in the last 8 matches seem to have warned everyone that they are capable of being a threat to any team. Manchester City's defense will have to be very wary of Brighton's players if they don't want to concede, but I believe that Manchester City has no doubts in this match. I don't consider Manchester City to lose points at home, in fact I'm not sure about a draw.

I get that Guardiola is hailed for his player choices, but lets be brutally honest here: Toni Kroos and Madrid have been nearly inseparable. His commitment to Madrid and their youth setup is clear, making it hard for me to imagine him leaving, especially just to become a backup in City's already packed midfield. And look, its not about the money or the allure of the Premier League; it's about the time on the pitch! Guardiola might find himself in hot water if Kroos doesn't get the playtime he expects. Do we really want a frustrated Kroos on the sidelines? Think about it

Manchester City is still the best in England and I don't that because they were unable to win their last two matches will make it difficult for them to win Brighton. Brighton might be very strong this season but not when they will be facing the defending champion of the league. Manchester City will humble them in that match.

Brighton has surprised people this season with their superb performance and I know that they will also display such performance against Manchester City. If Manchester City relent in pressuring Brighton and take advantage of the game, it is possible that Brighton might become difficult for Manchester City to win.

No one can know this for sure. Maybe the new coach really won’t be able to change much since Ten Hag has already made mistakes that are difficult to correct - for example, buying Onana is definitely a mistake. For the new coach to be able to fix anything, he must take part in at least one transfer cycle, and given the fact that United has already spent a lot at Ten Hag’s request, new serious acquisitions will have to wait at least until the summer.

Playing at home gave city advantage despite the fact many players are absent due to the injury. It's quite impossible to expect brighton to beat city at etihad but the chance is still there. I would rather than believe if city will beat brighton with narrow score instead of brighton beat city. The odds was pretty good for manchester city cuased by bookies were aware with the performance of manchester city at this moment. City got 1.45 which mean if bookies are not fully trusting city here.
It must be less than it if bookies was showing its confidence for city to win the game against brighton. Im not expecting city to win with huge margins caused by the club is still struggling to beat arsenal in the last match.
Even though city is in advantage but im not yet feeling confidence with the performance if city.

I feel pressure is too much at United. It's not an easy environment there. I find signing a bit unnecessary but since they have done it then it's even worse going back to sign De Gea back again. It's better to stick Onana and give him time to adjust and be more confident protecting the net. Signing De Gea will not happen no matter how much supporters want it to happen. Sorry but it just sounds ridiculous to make a signing of 50m Euro and ditch a player who served them for more than a decade and then ditch the player they signed for a 50m and go onto get that player again.

Manchester City are coming back to defeat many clubs after the international break I don't think Manchester City will lose or draw against Brighton, Manchester City are better than them and they have many key players that will perform well in the match, I don't think they will make any mistakes that will allow Brighton to defeat them, I am very confident Guardiola will do everything possible to win the match so that they can continue chasing the first position in the Premier League table, Because if Manchester City loses another point against Brighton i will say they will be unable to win the league again because Arsenal and Tottenham will close the gap in the table However, Manchester City is playing at Etihad Stadium I do not believe they will lose the match because they are very good at home they have destroyed many top clubs there.


Exactly i did not too blame onana, the problem with onana he have too much confident with the ball is playing with the ball to much in the pitch and make on necessary passes, when is in inter millan he perform well
And everyone like how he perform in the match against Manchester City in the champion league, Manchester United problem is from the defenders they are performing poorly and that will make the goalkeeper perform badly since the starting of the season Manchester United have many problems and Ten Hag's need to resolve the issue if they want to perform well like last season, because what they play last season is more beneficial then this season even Rushford Is not playing well again they need to find another alternative.

I think returning De Gea is something that is impossible, because basically Manchester United is not making efforts to keep De Gea as in the past. Because in the past, when Real Madrid wanted to sign De Gea but Manchester United made great efforts to keep De Gea with a new contract. But at this moment, it seems that Manchester United is no longer interested in De Gea because yes, it is also possible that Manchester United is trying to create a young squad that is targeted for the long term even though it is not going well so far.

I believe that he would definitely do wonders there, he is a good player and played at high level for a long time and he is still relatively young, not too much but he could do like 1 or 2 more years, if he goes there at the half winter break, then they could get about 2.5 seasons out of him if you ask me, maybe even more. That wouldn't be a starting eleven type of player, because they do not need one right now, but they could definitely use him as a bench player who would play instead of anyone at any midfield position.

Like right now how KDB is injured and not playing, Kroos would have been playing there and he is a UCL winner level player as well so it wouldn't be a bad deal for them neither and should consider it.
