The season is about to begin and we have Arsenal who almost won the EPL title and the reigning Champions Man City who stole the show from the North London club, both teams (Arsenal and Manchester City) are going to face each other in the Community Shield this evening.
Watching both teams go head to head about 3 times last season, it only went to the Citizens without the Gunners getting any win, would that give Arteta men a different fighting spirit today to make the Citizens pay for all the winning of last year? Only time would tell because the Arsenal team have more new players than the Citizens and I feel the new players mentality would power up the morale of the older players into winning this game. To me, i see Arsenal getting the Shield today.

Now that was a total failure, a joke, the worst thing that could happen to any team. Harry Maguire could be considered the player number 12 in the opponent side while Manchester United play with 10. His devotion to failing his teammate is extraordinary!
It seems that the beginning of his arrival is quite convincing. Maguire performed well at Leicester and with the England national team. But since Rangnik came, it seems that he is starting to find it difficult. He began to make a lot of mistakes that were quite dangerous. It seems that there is a coach scheme that makes Maguire uncomfortable. Maybe too high defense and set play.
With the current conditions, keeping and playing him in Ten Hag's tactics is very dangerous. A game that starts from the bottom requires accurate upan, maintaining him may be tantamount to suicide. Selling him is the best option, because I saw in the pre-season games he still had a slow response and was even scolded by Onana.
I don’t like certain things that Manchester United sometimes end up doing to be honest.
Remember that they brought in Paul Pogba for a huge amount of money? That did not work out as a good value for money.
Paul Pogba at least wasn't a total failure, yet he doesn't deserve the amount of money spent on him. Manchester United don't have a problem about risking their money for what they feel as a good player. Remember that they brought in Paul Pogba for a huge amount of money? That did not work out as a good value for money.
They brought in Harry Maguire for a record amount of money. And we all know that transfer turned out to be a meme factory. But looks like they are never going to learn from their mistakes.

His devotion to failing his teammate is extraordinary! I don’t know what was the exact negotiations but wasn’t it possible to bring him for less money? Or maybe Manchester City is more interested in making record with the amount of money they spend because they cannot make records with the amount of trophies they get, lol? 
Manchester United won many trophies in the past thanks to its good management from the coach and staff, otherwise City recent investment and management drove the team to win additional Cups including Champions League ones. 
Guardiola has been confirmed that this season he has a target want to gets Premier League title again and if he can able to achieve his target then Guardiola will being an the first manager who can able to gets the title 4 times in a row and he would be made a new history because there was no manager on Premier League previously who can able to do that but he said that's won't be easy because some big teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool will be more stronger than last season and in the first week Manchester City will fight against Burnley but before this match Manchester City will attempts to gets their first trophy this season through an Community Shield against Arsenal today
During his career as a coach, Guardiola has managed to break several records that are difficult for other coaches to do. He has the chance to win the Sextuple with Manchester City after helping Manchester City win their first treble winner. Getting the title 4 times in a row was not so difficult for Guardiola to achieve considering that Manchester City squad is still very solid, he must be able to make Manchester City appear consistently in every EPL match in order to make this dream come true. Rival clubs will certainly try to break Manchester City dominance in the EPL, but a squad that has been formed with reliable players will make Manchester City the team that has the biggest chance of winning the EPL title.

Basically almost all coaches want to reach that level but this time Guardiola has the chance to be the first to do just that, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Guardiola wins another title this season he's got the ability and a great squad it's just that the struggle this season will be more difficult because their competitors are also making improvements to their respective squads. I think the top 4 clubs in the standings will be the same as last season Man City, Arsenal, Man United and Newcastle it's just that a shift in rank could happen between them.
Meanwhile, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea will be in the same predicament I mean they are still in the process of rebuilding and it takes 2-3 seasons to achieve results, the most concerned are Chelsea and Newcastle this young squad could be a threat in the future especially if they are still using the same manager.
Onana was one of the best goalkeepers of Serie A and I think the friendly games do not show the true commitment of any player,they are just to test the team.If Manchester United has made on right choice in this summer transfer market is this goalkeeper as we will all see great ball saves by him,just like he did with Inter Milan.I think that although Manchester United may be has not bought the best players during this summer this goalkeeper will contribute to the team in a lower number of conceded goals compared to the previous season and I am pretty confident about it.
Conceded several goals when Andre Onana as Manchester United goal keeper actually is not his mistake because many time defender of United loss communicated and get fatal mistake. Last Pre season match against Lens and most beautiful goals conceded because mistake from defender in passing and Florian Sotoca success scored on the middle of field. Not be serious with pre season match because Erik tan Hag looking best option on every position actually with defender, can't sign new defender for next season is problem for Manchester United and must be efficiency with defender having last season. Optimist with Andre Onan has quit well performance in Manchester United next season but defender never make fatal mistake on the defensive area.
Friendly matches are for the purpose of playing the squad, so you shouldn't judge Andre Onana so harshly. Although it's still unclear why Manchester didn't want to keep De Hea as at least a second goalkeeper, because he could have been a good insurance for Andre Onana if he had lapses.
Age allows De Hea to play another year or two at the highest level, so nothing but Ten Haga's dislike can explain not extending De Hea's contract, especially against the backdrop of Onana's performance and the big money they paid for him.
Agree with you, we shouldn't directly compare performances with De Gea because this is still a friendly match. Actually, the MU squad is quite capable, it's just that many players are ambitious and selfish, the desire to score goals can be seen in pre-season matches. They should be able to reflect on Man City, teamwork tends to be more solid and has depth on all fronts.Age allows De Hea to play another year or two at the highest level, so nothing but Ten Haga's dislike can explain not extending De Hea's contract, especially against the backdrop of Onana's performance and the big money they paid for him.
For Man United this season, hopefully Mason Mount and Onana's performance can quickly adapt to Man United, hopefully Hojlund can show his class in the EPL this season, but considering he's still 19 years old. Now it's good tomorrow it can go down again, the next day it can be good again, there are still many processes to go through. But for Onana and Mason Mount, they really have to be able to show their performance this season, because they are both more experienced, especially Mount, who has played more in England throughout his career, should already understand very well how the English league is.
Newcastle have gone from the bottom of the standings to the top 4 in just one season.... And they didn't have any superstars in the squad... That was a huge surprise from that team for me..... I would never have thought that this is possible, especially in the EPL where there are so many good clubs.... So in the Champions League there could be a surprise too..... I will hope so...
I must admit that I thought that as soon as the Arab capital bought the club, they would immediately make dozens of transfers. However, they have not been greedy in terms of transfers and have made the right decisions to build a great skeleton of a team. They are following the Manchester City model. I think if they are as successful as Manchester City, they will dominate the Premier League together for many years. However, I would still like to see them sign a star like Mbappe or Neymar this season. That kind of signing could suddenly raise the level of the team and I think they need a bit of that.

Pep loves to win the EPL, he has openly confirmed on numerous occasions that it is the trophy he loves to win the most and even though he and City have won the last three in a row, they remain the favorites to win it again this season. The number of trophies Pep has won in City is absolutely unbelievable, and the scary thing is that no matter the success he achieves, he never becomes complacent, he still pushes to win more.Having said that, the other teams in the EPL would be out to stop City this season, they wouldn't want them to turn the EPL to a farmers' league, but stopping City isn't easy, i think Arsenal would give them the strongest competition this season, not Liverpool, United or Chelsea.
Nothing changes, the new signing would be the primary striker for Erik Ten Hag and the red devil's. Manchester United signed this tender attacker, although he was in the best XI of Atalanta, which is Italian football, and he adapted brilliantly. This is England, Manchester United, and the fans have high expectations for the wonder kid, who has been in the system for some time and has gained experience in the style of game. But I'd say we shouldn't expect Rasmus Hojlund to reach his peak currently; he's wounded and will need time to recover, but he has yet to make his club debut, which is understandable.
It is a big milestone for Hojlund career and he should take advantage of this chance to upgrade his career but it must be said, it is a big challenge for the young striker. I wish he best to succeed in Old Trafford but again as a club, Manchester United should use their money for most important position in their squad more wisely. They believe in Hojlund and it means they are gamble again.I am not sure what they and Ten Hag thought to make this transfer. Did they think if Hojlund fail to show himself, they will still have Rashford?
If it is their thinking, I am disappointed because they should let Rashford playing at swings where he is most dangerous and the striker position should belong to another player who is at world class level. Hojlund at this moment is not such a striker and they are gambling that he will upgrade himself to that level.

Exactly. De Gea was way younger when he transferred to United from Atletico to replace the legendary Edwin van der Sar. You can't use the lack of experience excuse on Onana either since he got enough already for professional footballers's standard so his mistakes is mostly due to his poor decision making and overall skills as a goalkeeper.
Manchester united will suffer major setbacks this new season, it's just a matter of time before everything stand appropriate for the club. The new goalkeeper, Andre Onana been criticized by fans for his poor performance in friendly games. The Cameroonian have good footings on the ball and always outside his box, so conceding far away shots would be achievable by his opponents. United former goalkeeper, David de Gea had his own blunders, but he still made good performance at Old Trafford. Then look at the Andre Onana, already opening his weaknesses and the league haven't started, let's see how everything will plan out.Age allows De Hea to play another year or two at the highest level, so nothing but Ten Haga's dislike can explain not extending De Hea's contract, especially against the backdrop of Onana's performance and the big money they paid for him.
Manchester city is determined to retain one of its key players this summer, namely Bernardo Silva. As we know, there is indeed interest from PSG and Barcelona in getting this player from Portugal and Manchester city has stated that it has no intention of conducting any negotiations for the future of the player. I don't think Manchester City can afford to lose any more important players after previously Gundogan joined Barcelona.
In the near future, Manchester City will offer Bernardo Silva a new contract and with this it is certain that his future will be more secure. But indeed there are things that will make the situation not the same as Bernardo Silva who wants to leave and that will make Manchester City quite useless to defend him.

But indeed there are things that will make the situation not the same as Bernardo Silva who wants to leave and that will make Manchester City quite useless to defend him.
I'm sure this season Bernardo Silva will stay with Manchester City apart from being an important player, another reason is that Manchester City can still keep him until 2025 under contract. Barcelona is indeed one of the clubs that continues to approach this player but they have no way to sign Silva, from what I heard Barcelona will pay the transfer fee in installments obviously this is not a tempting offer for Manchester City especially they are not a club that needs money.
Bernardo Silva's market value is €80 million while Barcelona only prepared a budget of €65 million so it will be difficult to reach an agreement, Silva himself has indicated he wants to move but he can not do much because it is still under contract, anyway Silva has to wait until next season.
We know Pep Guardiola and Barcelona have a good relationship so that could be a reason to ease the transfer, but Manchester City also don't want to be fooled and even if it were only 65 million euros, Barcelona would definitely add one player to the deal. But what is clear from the speculation above is very clear that Manchester City will not let go of its key players who are currently in peak performance to bring Manchester City to win the title again.

Anything is always possible as long as you have bunch of money. Newcastle was just proving that if the main thing that is needed by the club is just unlimited money. Liverpool signed 10 players last season and this club is still signing more players this season.
That has been showing us how money is making your team able to compete with the major clubs in EPL right now. Newcastle is very different since PIF was just acquiring newcastle last season.
As long as you have money and you have power to change everything in the world. Money is everything right now. I can't even deny that. Another league can be as big as EPL as long as they got big investors like EPL.
Look at how so many saudi clubs under PIF were doing massive transfers from the various clubs.
I didn't really go into the incident that led to criticism of this player's character. But what I want to emphasize is that Andre Onana is still very new to Manchester United, it is too early to speculate about what he did there. MU's main players and coaches must provide understanding to players who have just joined the club because that will help speed up the adaptation process with other players
Andre Onana is a goalkeeper who is still very young, doesn't have much experience, and can be said to be immature because he still has points of gaps and weaknesses when the opponent manages to get a score from a kick in the middle of the field and break through Andre Onana's defense. Hopefully, in next season's match, Andre Onana will perform better and focus so that it makes it difficult for opponents to score goals.

He picked up the injury in pre-season with Atalanta and it is rumored that it wasn't too severe and healed quickly and is reportedly only a few weeks away.
But with conditions like this, the pressure will be even greater.
First he has to adapt to a new club and new players and coaching schemes.
Secondly, he also has to re-adapt to his game after the injury and this may not go well.
Hojlund's drama is likely to continue and we can only wait for his debut at Manchester United after the long drama.

Erik Ten Heg really likes this player. Because he is the type of player that fits the strategy that is usually applied by Erik Ten heg. But Erik Ten Heg must be patient and wait for this player to recover properly. And yeah this will be a loss for the club. But I hope Rasmus Hojlund continues to have the support of everyone in the squad. Because he also has to maintain his mentality and must not let the club down when he recovers and starts playing with the club.
Rasmus Hojlund' is only 20 years old. If Ten Hag is expecting a world-class performance from Rasmus Hojlund right now, he is mistaken. Even I would say Rasmus Hojlund is still not fit for Manchester United's starting XI. And Rasmus Hojlund is still far behind Haaland, Osimhen, Vlahovic and Mbappe. Rasmus Hojlund has to be kept under strict supervision by coach Ten Hag.
However, Rasmus Hojlund was injured before the start of the season. He could not sweeten the memory of the start with United. In the beginning, he met with accidents. I don't know if he will be able to adapt himself to Manchester United or if he will be able to perform well.

Andre Onana is 27 and I can’t call him young not to talk of very young. He has not been opportuned to play for bigger clubs in his career but he has some experience over the years, he won some trophies with ajax over the years and also he has participated in champions league couple of times which is the highest stage of experience before joining Manchester United. He is good but just has the problem of going out of his own 18 yard box whenever his team attacks and he loves to receive the ball and as a goalkeeper you are not supposed to receive so many balls because of costly mistakes around your goal area. I believe he will learn from yesterday’s match and reduce the way he go out and also I believe the coach will correct him of his mistakes and warn him to be cautious. Newcastle can't be competitive for the Champions League much for now. Maybe they are one of the richest teams in Europe but they still can't make their squad one of the bests yet. It isn't an easy task to convince big names into their squad despite qualifying for the Champions League. They need to maintain consistency in the Premier League first.
Because the Champions League is not an easy league and they would need more experienced players to go far in the league and also maintain their performance from last season if they want to survive the group stage, they really lack the squad to perform wonderfully in it this season. Until they consistently qualify for the Champions League each season, it will be challenging to sign big-name players since everyone wants to be seen in the Champions League. .....
Andre Onana is a goalkeeper who is still very young, doesn't have much experience, and can be said to be immature...
It is interesting for me to see how people are tendering Onana these days after he joined Manchester United to wear the De Gea's shirt in the next season. Onana is not a young goalkeeper and I'm sure they did;t buy this goalkeeper because of being young because as a 27-year-old player, he can't considered young.Andre Onana is a goalkeeper who is still very young, doesn't have much experience, and can be said to be immature...
