Manchester United's impressive win against Leicester City was really interesting. Most people thought that Manchester United might not be able to achieve in this match but it was their strong performance that really changed their game. Interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced Ten Hag with a brilliant strategy that led to Manchester United's impressive win. However, their impressive win against Leicester City will depend on how aggressively they can play against Tottenham in the next match. In any case, Manchester United played very well in this match but if they can hold on to this game, they will face Chelsea next and there is a high probability that they will lose. But if the interim coach puts his best foot forward and what he can achieve against Chelsea, it will be more interesting indeed.

When I watched the match scheme, seem like Manchester City wasn't serious to win the match, they fielded a second players as a starter but still used the core player to stabilize the strategy. Even it is not considered, I still watch the spirit form squad to draw the match. I admit, Tottenham was on best performer last night, they struggled to hold the win until the last minutes. But, with the narrow win, I think Tottenham still need to fix their squad, I still watch a gap when the city able to shrink behind on minutes 45. Beside that the city also lost their moment when Savinho got injured. This is become a big loss for them in the middle premier and champions league.

Not that Manchester city head coach doesn't consider this match to be for their favour but the full force Tottenham players used to Play Manchester city make them not to equalize the goals despite the different strategies Manchester city apply at the end of the match but the match still ended up 2-1. Assume Manchester city head coach make use of all their potential players to play the England league competition, I don't think Tottenham would have win the match, because Manchester city head coach reserved those players for other matches for them to perform well in the champions League and premier League competition which they are standing in a good position already in those tournaments.

Guardiola is a very experienced coach and with deep player resource in Manchester City, he has better opportunities to rotate players than other coaches. Nevertheless, it is not enough for him to try winning all titles in one season, and the injuries of Rodri, De Bruyne are warnings for him. I believe that Pep Guardiola did a great decision for Manchester City in this long season. Winning two biggest titles, Premier League and Champions League are enough for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City as a successful season.

They can win these titles but we see in Premier League, Manchester City have more challenge from Arsenal and Liverpool in this season while in Champions League, Real Madrid and Barcelona are not easy to be beaten in this season.

The names of these coaches are certainly familiar to us, because all of them have coached big teams in Europe. In addition, these coaches can be said to have quite good achievements with the teams they coach. Especially Zidane, he is a coach who is very experienced in the world of football, because it is proven that when he coached Real Madrid he made many very proud achievements. Therefore, if Manchester United could make Zidane a coach, I think it would have a very good impact on Manchester United. Because at Manchester United Zidane will definitely not lack anything, whether in terms of finances, facilities, or players. So it is certain that with this Zidane can definitely create a strong team at Manchester United.

But according to the news circulating, Zidane is now being offered a contract by the Saudi Arabian national team. Although there is still no clarity on Zidane, it is possible that Zidane will be successfully wooed by the Saudi Arabian national team. Because it is certain that if Zidane coaches the Saudi Arabian national team, he will get a fairly large salary. But once again I emphasize that this is still just a rumor and there is no clear point. So Manchester United's chances of being able to bring in Zidane are certainly still very big. Then talking about Xavi, he is also a pretty great coach, because the proof is that he was able to lead Barcelona to become champions in Laliga in the 2022-2023 season. Therefore, if Xavi were brought to Manchester United, it would certainly be quite good too. So for now, let's just wait and see who will be the new coach at Manchester United.

It is very clear that the slump experienced by Man United so far is due to Ten Hag inability to handle the club. Look at how Man United played under Van Nistelrooy, they played very disciplined and were able to build good chemistry between the players. This victory not only took Man United through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, but also saw van Nistelrooy beat Erik ten Hag record for the most wins against a Premier League team as Man United had never won by five goals against a Premier League team during Ten Hag's tenure. A very good start for Van Nistelrooy, he needs to be able to make Man United perform like this in the Premier League as they desperately need a win to improve their position in the standings.

Amorin will still come Nistelrooy will still be an assistant coach, I think it will be perfect because their ages are not much different they can exchange ideas to bring Man United to the right realm, I am quite sure Amorin can bring Man United back to shine but he must change everything first there in terms of formation Man United must stop with 4-2-3-1 and we know Amorin prefers to use 3-4-3 it is quite good in attacking strategy, and the big win just now shows that Man United players still have good quality but only Ten Hag does not know how to use it well.

I think even though this big win Amorin will still come to Man United and I read he is doing a health check and others, Man United's goal in bringing Amorin is the right thing after showing his ability with Sporting which is quite promising we can trust him to coach Man United.

That's right, also with Guardiola himself he doesn't want to take risks in this match so they rest key players on their bench, this is one of the strategies that is quite good even though they lost by one goal but what the Manchester City players have done is quite good only they lack in defense, also besides that we know their typical game is with ball possession so when their opponent makes a counterattack it is not strange that they are always off guard and this also happens to their main players.

if Guardiola plays their key players maybe the result is a draw or even they can win, but Guardiola has his own strategy which he thinks is the best for their team. Also by playing this second string squad it can be an anticipation for them to be better in the future.

That is reasonable reason because Manchester City also performed very well in the Premier League and they are still focusing on the UCL because too many competitions will also make the players performance less than optimal if they focus too much on everything, there must be one competition that is not so pursued like the EFL Cup.
Pep just wants to get what they deserve to be able to maintain and provide great benefits, I think in the future prioritizing the Premier League and also the UCL is more than enough and Manchester City performance in the EFL Cup is less than satisfactory always happens almost every season.

Yes Manchester United beat Leicester impressively but their next game against Chelsea will be tougher. Their great performance makes us wonder if they can keep it up. Interim coach Van Nistelrooy might not get to continue this success. Manchester United is close to hiring new coach from Sporting Lisbon. If deal is not done Van Nistelrooy will still lead team against Chelsea..The players worked well together but they must keep doing so. If they really need to beat Chelsea to make fans happy.

I think that now the MU has to take its chance because that was what they left , that was what they chose, it was known for more than 4 seasons that these things could happen , the MU fans should not get their hopes up About the team at least this season because things with the team will continue like this as long as Ten HAG remains in the team, but Fortunately the MU had a hard blow to the head and finally Ten Hag left, I think that now they can work better , I hope now that the MU that has been forgotten comes to light.

Manchester United where so impressive today, I didn't expect a massive win from them against Leicester, their performance was so spectacular but the question is would it last up to their next game against Chelsea, a more fierce team? However, too bad the Interim Coach won't get the chance he deserves to prove that he's capable of handling the team his boss Erik Ten Hag left for him cause news have it Manchester United are on the final stages of negotiations with Sporting Lisbon for their coach Amorin to take over. Well, Van Nistelrooy could be opportuned to lead Manchester United to face Chelsea during the weekend, that's if Manchester United are not fast enough to finalise a deal with sporting before then. Anyways the players did well today, I saw the team spirit in them, I don't know if it was a show-off to impress the interim coach and grab a spot but they need to maintain such form again Chelsea and make the fans happy again.

It was obvious that Pep guardiola didn't want to concentrate on the carabao cup as there are bigger fish to catch and that's were Pep Guardiola attention is at. When we see Manchester city playing in the champions league and the premier league, there's a difference compared to when they play in smaller tournaments as the carabao cup. Manchester city has won this trophy many times and Pep Guardiola too has won the trophy therefore he mightn't be that interested in it anymore. Bit still Tottenham played very well and they were determined to win as they know this might be one of the only opportunity for them to win a trophy this season as other tournaments is packed with better teams.

This often happens after the resignation of the head coach of the team. The team is shaking itself up and each player is trying to show his best qualities. Another question is that at this level it cannot last long if it is not supported by other factors. It's purely a question of the physiology of the body. It is impossible to constantly play to the limit of your abilities.

Then we have some set of folks in corner tripping; they feel Erik wasn't the problem? Today's game has really proven them wrong...
The former coach never understood how to merge a player's ability/potentials with the right partner, in the best position to have a core-solid game plan. No game pattern? No coordinated game play!
Oh.... You should rather say, he'll be addressed with contempt  -- honestly, that was a YOU problem on the former coach... The management team really had to tolerate him that long, all in a bid to observe a positive change...

We got to see Manchester United's best performance this season in today's match. There is no doubt that the Manchester United team performed well in the match. Manchester United's performance in past matches this season has been very poor and erratic. However, in today's match against Leicester City, we saw Manchester United dominate and win.

Manchester United with a big margin of 5-2. A total of 23 shots were taken by Manchester United players in the win, and 9 of them were on target. We saw a somewhat poor performance from United's defenders in the match. But I hope that with the help of new coach Nistelrooy, the defense of Manchester United will be stronger.

As Pep explained before this match if he does not want to risk so many players. And in that, indeed, he kept Man City's main players on the bench and even some were not played, because there are other matches that they prioritize, EPL and also UCL, especially.

At least, Ruud van Nistelrooy started his career as a coach this time very well, and did not disappoint. Because if you look at it, his performance is also quite good, ball dominance, and the movement of his players is quite organized. Well, let's just see how it will be in the future whether Man United can be consistent or not in all matches.

And next in the EFL Cup, Man United will meet Tottenham.

Guardiola does not consider today's EFL Cup match an important match. That's why Guardiola rested key players in the squad today. Champions League and Premier League matches are more important for Guardiola. So in today's match, City played their second tier squad.

However, the overall performance of Tottenham players was quite good in today's match. Tottenham took a 2-1 lead in the first half. Tottenham's players managed to have only 31% of the ball possession in the match. But every attack from Tottenham's players was strong. City's inexperienced players failed to counter the attacks of Tottenham's players.

Arsenal has not been really lucky with injuries this season, they have had key players suffer injuries and it's had its own toll on the team but their performance hasn't been too bad just yet, they have been trying to still make up for the spaces by the injured players such that it doesn't feel too pronounced that some key players are absent but then Arteta shouldn't be blamed at any point for any thing because he's doing just well and with time they may have this as one of their best attempts at he league title if they eventually don't get it.

Tottenham 2 - 1 City

It seems to be the first defeat for City this season. But judging by Pep's satisfied face, he is completely satisfied to miss unimportant games here and concentrate on other tournaments. City were eliminated very early last year too.
By the way, despite the modest score, it was not a tough equal fight, Tottenham should have scored at least one more goal, while City did not have any more chances.
