At this very time, it is even risky for Manchester United coach to face any team in the English Premier League. It will be better if he should face a very strong team such that if he loses, people we understand that he played a strong side. With the inconsistent nature of his team, it is possible that you can lose against Southampton and if that happens there will be no excuse for him to cover up his weakness.

This is the more reason he should be very careful with Southampton and do everything possible to convincingly win the match and secure his job as the head coach of Manchester United team.

Manchester United winning Southampton should not mean that their form is back on track and they are now performing better. Southampton is a club that Manchester United should be winning even in their bad form therefore they do not need to be top of their game to win this match. If they lose then something has to be done because it will be looking like the manager does not know what he is doing. The clubs Manchester united are losing against starting from the end of last season, are more of small clubs and this is what is causing panic among everybody at the club because the club is turning into a shadow of its old self and it should not be that way because Manchester United has a history of competing at the top level and not what is currently happened at the club

There is no doubt about what you pointed out concerning the different ways coaches handle their players and the case of Ten hag and Ronaldo took a different level as both parties failed to understand each other very well. I believe Ten hag initially had the ability to bring a positive change in the team as he team when he newly joined the team but right now after United finished among the top3 he has not achieved that result again this means that Ten hag has lost the right track to make the job easier for him but for what is been seen in the team right now I don't think Ten hag has what it takes rise rhe United tean again.

I can agree with you that should Eric Ten Hag goes on to have a dismal season like that of last season due to the position on the league table then I think he might be shown the door. But what I will not agree with you is the fact you said he makes players worse I will say that is a lie and a false statement if you ask me. First of all Rashford who mentioned had the best season of his entire career playing under Eric Ten Hag on his first season with almost 40+ goals contribution and the next season which was last season Rashford was below par and still until now the manager keeps trusting him so I don’t understand how he made him worse.

As for Ronaldo and De Gea it is complicated issue, it was the right time to actually get a new goalkeeper ahead of De Gea and he did. Onana before coming to Manchester United that season was one for Europe best goalkeepers, went to the UCL final and even made the Balon D’Or Yashin list for the best goalkeeper of the year. His transfer hasn’t worked out doesn’t mean Erik Ten Hag signed someone who wasn’t proven, De gea on the other had is issues with the board due to his contract and he was allowed to leave. The departure of Ronaldo also wasn’t entirely his fault Ronaldo gave an interview that provoked the Manchester United board and they terminated the contract.

The manger beef was there but immediately he had that an interview the club couldn’t keep him anymore which wasn’t surprising considering what he said in the interview

I have this feeling that the injuries on both side won't really affect the performance of either of these teams but on the other side I'm looking at how Arsenal are going to handle their squad without one of their very best and we all know how the Gunners are not good at handling a man down (as in a red card) and shortage of players including their best, they don't perform well when some of their key players are not present so let's see how they manage.
I must recommend Tottenham this season, the way they start the season is quite different from last season's even if they lost a game it's still better and they have that positive energy in their squad but I'd like to see more of Solanke in the team because they have been playing without a natural number 9 for a very long time since Kane left so is time they enjoy that privilege playing with the new attacker Solanke. If you're to go for any team to win I'd prefer Arsenal because they won't like to lose after the Brighton 1-1 draw.

I think this is Erik Ten Hag's last season with Manchester United. Well, if he fails to bring change, he could be fired in the middle of this season, he is not a coach who is able to bring his players to find their best form, I mean if you judge Rashford's performance so far it has declined quite a bit, of course Erik Ten Hag plays a big role in improving the quality of the players but he failed to do it.
After being humiliated by Liverpool, I think Manchester United fans can already judge that Erik Ten Hag did nothing in the transfer market. The recruitment he did was quite a failure like Onana. He also got rid of De Gea, Ronaldo, one of the bad performances he did.
I hope the management is not wrong in their decision, but we'll just have to wait until the first half of this season ends.

Moreover, because of personal misunderstandings they were in a fight with the player as far as we all know. So Ten Hag was already creating a negative atmosphere. But Cristiano left, the problems only got worse and he is still not going to be sacked. I am scared at the thought of how long he has been at the helm of the club, what kind of fairy tales do the management have to tell that they keep him as head coach every time

Actually, if we discuss Erik Ten Hag's performance, of course, there are many of his actions that have harmed the team since he coached Manchester United because of his selfishness in coaching which often makes him face internal problems between himself and players such as Sancho and Ronaldo. However, that time has passed and Erik Ten Hag must learn from what happened in the previous season. This season, there are many targets that Erik Ten Hag must complete, especially bringing progress to the team this season with the target of being able to compete at the top of the standings.

The depth of the Manchester United squad has also improved quite a bit, but of course from their game they have not been able to improve it better. This is where Erik Ten Hag's strategic expertise is needed to bring Manchester United back up and win 3 points. This week Manchester United will face Southampton, where Manchester United's performance is expected to improve better by returning to the winning track.

It is undeniable what Martin Ødegaard  brings to the Arsenal team, he combines very well with Saka making that wing very effective, and his creativity is second to none in the Arsenal team. Arsenal will be missing his presence, but there are still enough options for Arteta to select for that game against Tottenham and the few other games he will miss. There is Jorginho, Ethan Ewaneri and Havertz who can drop back to midfield and give Trossard the chance in front while Sterling takes his place. I am sure Arteta should have a plan for that, there is enough time to plan for it, and lucky for Arsenal Odegaards Injury is not so severe.

Every coach has his own way of handling players and here we can say that Ten Haq is not the right coach for Ronaldo and some other players. If we talk about ability, Ten Hag clearly has the ability and he once brought Manchester United to finish in the top 3 but after that Manchester United's performance got worse, what is more surprising is that Manchester United management still gives Ten Hag a chance even though there has been no significant improvement in the last 2 seasons.

I think this season is the last chance for Ten Hag to prove that he is capable of bringing Manchester United to a better position, this means that Ten Hag must use all resources to answer all questions but if he fails again then I am not sure he will get another chance at Manchester United. Manchester United have spent £214 million in this transfer window let's see how effective the budget is or maybe it will end like the transfer windows of previous seasons.

Everyone has their own view because looking at what these two big clubs have done in the last few seasons I actually think we can agree that these two clubs are the most disappointing when it comes to performance, achievements and losses compared to other clubs.

Chelsea's disaster started from a geopolitical problem that made Abramovich's empire at Chelsea crumble which made his condition worsen but speaking of destruction of course we are aware that Mancehster United is much deeper where after SAF left the coaching of Manchester United in the last decade precisely until now they still have not made the best contribution or maybe even close to SAF's golden era which of course we have a comparison between Cheslesa's 2 bad seasons with a decade that Manchester United has we can see that their failure is equally disappointing regardless of which club is the most concerned here.
Chelsea and Mancehster United must make a new breakthrough because however with the current situation of course the fans will not be satisfied if this season they do not show better development than before.

I also asked the same question and it looks more rhetoric because no answer. Only Manchester United can cabals can answer the question since they are the ones seeing this bad result and they are the ones still keeping him to represent the club as the head coach. I don't know how reserved and serious Manchester United owners are but I know for sure that Manchester City will not be this tolerant to accept this performance Manchester United is doing.

Sir Alex is an icon and he is the only coach thay has manage Manchester United with passion, such type of leader that put players before himself and make sure they don't disappoint and he is not too good at pointing fingers. If Manchester United legacy was built like this, he wouldn't reach this level for sure because there wouldn't be that time to show his true color. Is there even a player in Manchester United that can take the club on his shoulder like the ex players, I'm not sure.

Definitely he did well towards  the end of the previius season, but this seasons  performance  from the team is very poor compared to what we anticipated  from  Manchester United.  Talking  about players replacement, I feel he is a bit confused or should I say inexperienced in making these changes, else  there are good players he let go that should have made impact for the team. Well i think marcel sabitzer was a good fit for Manchester  United, and I thought he was going to be retained after the loan deal expired, but it was obvious ten hag didn't do much in trying to renew a contract with him.

you are correct, as far as I have seen the performance of Manchester, they are performing well and fast.  Yes, but they have also lost, but when they perform in a match, they have a different style.  And Chelsea's performance is also there but its performance is not above Manchester's.  Yes, but you can make it.  They hoped that Chelsea would make a comeback but they were not playing with interest and went from defeat to defeat.  But this will only harm their poor performance.  Now they are interested in Chelsea, so that is their problem.  But they don't deserve to be loved.Chelsea make their comeback after a long time and if they keep up their performance, their betting team will make a lot of money.

Ten Hag has been using one strategy, but it has not been working, at least he should change it, but he decides to stick to the same strategy, but Manchester United's performance is just getting worse, and I don’t really know what’s wrong with some Manchester United players, maybe they're not just ready to play for the club, or maybe they're having some problems with the coach, that’s why they're performing poorly. But at the level, what I will suggest is that Ten Hag should be sacked, he has been given time but doesn’t still have anything to offer.

With the way Manchester United are performing, do you even think they will end the season in the top four? I don’t think so. If Manchester United's performance can continue like this, then I won’t be surprised that they will end the season in the middle of the table, but we shouldn’t even think Manchester United will end the season in the top four.

Just imagine the outrageous amount Eric Ten Haag has spent yet in this three good years there is no much improvements in the team and if not that Manchester United made a lot of money during the coaching era of Sir Alex Ferguson, by now the club would have started experiencing financial difficulties even though the Glazer's family are wealthy people but the club would have still been affected a bit.


It's very unfortunate that after Sir Alex Ferguson's exit from the club as a coach, they haven't been able to find any coach that will revive the club again despite hiring several coaches but all to no avail. And within this periods the club has signed so many players to the squad but yet no impact to the team. For all I know until Manchester United hire the right coach that understands the football ethics of the club, then can the club become better

Arsenal's squad without Martin Ødegaard is not complete, and I don't think that Arsenal has great players on the bench who can replace him and perform as well as he does in midfield. His injury is a bad thing for Arsenal because it will surely affect their performance. Anyone who regularly watches Arsenal matches knows that Martin Ødegaard is one of their great players, doing an excellent job in the squad.

Now it's up to Arteta. With Martin Ødegaard absent from the squad, Arteta has some work to do. He needs to carefully consider who will take that position, as it requires thoughtful decision-making. I can't say much about Arsenal's next match, but I don't have confidence that they will be able to win, especially with Rice also absent. Without Ødegaard, the squad may struggle and look disorganized. In my view, for the next one to three matches, Arsenal will likely find it hard to perform as expected.

I still think there’s time for other teams to buckle up till then. The match against Manchester city and Liverpool will take time that’s the reason I feel other potential teams will improve, after what Liverpool and Arsenal did last season I don’t think they’re really fit at some point because Liverpool also had better chance winning the title last season but let’s hope for more since they have a new coach.
What made the team back down form the race last season is yet unknown to me, Manchester city is a strong team they always have the ability to pull down any top team.

I wonder what Ten Hag is still doing in Manchester United as their coach when he has underperformed in his ability to carry all the players along particularly the star players signed into the club. It was not a misfortune that Ronaldo could not perform as much as he could have done when he was at the Man U team earlier. The difference is, during the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, he got a more flourishing ground to play and exercise his skills in delivering the club. When he later came back for the second time, Erik Ten Hag could not manage Ronaldo to his best, hence the low performance experienced in the club.

Arne Slot has tried from the results of the matches played so far, we can never said that he didn’t try because he is yet to lose a serious match since he took over from Jorgen Klopp and it is a great performance and a good start for him as a coach because coaching small team is not easy especially in the Premier League that is very competitive.

Consistency is what will determine how far they will go in the Premier League because they are still behind Arsenal in title race expectations even though they are ahead of them with some points due to the draw Arsenal played against Brighton. If Arne Slot is consistent, he can be a big obstacle to Pep Guardiola and Arteta because these two manager are the only managers that can challenge for the title unless if others look serious as the season goes on.
