He'll fix the current bugs and new ones will pop up, and so on ad infinitum. The point is that this is normal for all teams. Any team makes mistakes during the match and when they become a critical number for the current situation, the coaches change tactics, that is, they were prepared for this in advance, but Ten Hag is not prepared for this, he thinks through the tactics before the match for the entire match, not assuming that something will have to change

I don`t think the loss matters really too much from the fact that Poch really had a good stat in Pre-season but failed to replicate such form in the EPL even the stars players like Jackson and Liverpool Darwin Nunez failed to do well like how they perform during Pre-season, I am not judging any team or players by it this season, let see how well Man United can go when the season officially get started especially with Jim giving Ten Hag huge support in getting the players he wants.

When Manchester United are ready to have a total reshuffling of their players, that is when we will be looking at them lifting the Premier League trophy. Any other thing apart from that, the PL trophy will be far from them. The only thing they will look at is between the 5-7 position of the Premier League table. Well, let's see how the new signings they have made so far, will take them, whether they will be formidable or remain the way they are without much improvement in the team. Time will tell to that by next season, Ten Hag will have to prove himself whether he is worth keeping as Manchester United's coach or not.

We have different coaches in the EPL and most of them are consistent average despite the fact they've managed elite clubs. Only Pep Guardiola have proved beyond all doubt to be the best coach in the English Premier League over the past years, he build Manchester City to become a consistent winning team, having in vision to continue thrashing opponents with ease efforts. Becoming a champion comes with entirely different approach and vision. Mikel Arteta is mediocre coach and having a long path to discover for his club.

Arteta is about to close the gap between him and Pep Guardiola, he has started to defeat Manchester City last season and was able to maintain a draw when playing away from home against City, it was a great performance from Arsenal last season because they were able to collect points from all the top Premier League teams last season which is why many people including me are seeing Arsenal as a potential Premier League title winner next season if they can be able to keep their performance and maintain same momentum and if they sign a reliable striker.

I no is not an important match but it shouldn't mean that they will not take it serious, actually one of the things about pre season matches is that all the club normally use it to measure there strength against there upcoming leagues, however if you watch that match from the beginning to the end of the match you will understand that Manchester United did not play as if the wining was not important for them so on the contrary they were struggling to beat Rosenborg but there performance was not consistent enoug, so like you said even if Manchester United did not take the match serious they were not supposed to lose to Rosenborg.

Yes, they really want to become champions, this desire was especially visible this season, when they hoped for this until the very last round. Arteta is working very hard on the progress of the team, but as long as Guardiola stays at City it will be very difficult to resist such a team. But if City has a worthy competitor this season, it is Arsenal, perhaps I still expect something from Aston Villa, Emery is also capable of motivating teams.

Your closing statement gat me, saying it's too early to judge is very true but then we can get hints to what we should be expecting from that which we have seen now. One thing I'm really happy about is that even if Manchester United have been of a bad form, they are still recognized as a big team, they still have some of their glory intact. Small team usually do that and it's not new because ordinarily people may not pick interest in watching them except when they play against big teams like this, it's an opportunity because it's believed if you can perform so well against a big team then you have gat great potentially to been a good and notch player.

My problem is how long will this Arsenal side be showing too much energy to get the title and when it matters the most you see them dropping form like that's how they are meant to be? Winning mentality is the key to be at the top and I think Arteta and his men have all that but they are not making use of that high spirit of going into those crucial game and coming out with the best results instead they settle for a draw which to me shows they are not ready to be one of the best or even Champions.
I believe Arteta has the support but it can't be compared to the Arab money the Citizens have, for me I don't think Arteta need to wait for 2-3 years before winning the title, he can do it this coming season that's if he changes the poor thinking of some of the players, they have all the necessary tools to beat any team that's going for the title not only Manchester City but they should set the other teams as a strong target to get to their goal, if they don't and they only see Man City as the only threat then they have already planned to fail.

There are still many opportunities for Arteta to build a much better squad next season, especially since Arsenal has struggled as much as possible in the last two seasons in the Premier League. Even though Arsenal players Rice and Saka failed at national team level in the UERO Final, this was not their fault. As a team, England's defeat against Spain was caused by many factors, one of which was that Spain was slightly better in terms of play than The Three Lions.

At club level, Rice and Saka will return to defend Arsenal in order to achieve the team's ambition to win the League trophy. Currently, Arteta is trying to increase Arsenal's strength by bringing in several new arrivals. Even though the players they are targeting have problems, at least Arteta and Edu will look for the most ideal players for their team's squad to face the new competition. I hope Arsenal will continue to perform at their best when the Premier League is held again.

To be fair they were 4th in their group behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray last season at UCL, so that was embarrassing for them as well and wasn't even a friendly, we are talking about UCL, and they spent more on a summer than those teams worth, so it's really shameful that they couldn't build a better team. On the other hand, I agree that friendlies doesn't matter, we can't really see the situation changing anytime soon, and we will end up with something that will take a while.

In the end, we should see how things will move on, and I am sure that we are going to see how things could change as well, meaning that we are going to end up with a much better result one way or another. If we can make that work, then we are going to end up with United having a better season.

ETH is not the only issue, how that team was managed could be considered as their issue, but nowadays they are improving that, looking at latest transfers and rumours, I can see the improvement they are having. This should definitely be something that may take some time, but it will not be all that simple to achieve in a summer, it may take a few seasons but if they keep this up, they can be one of the best teams in the league.

I also have same feelings that Arsenal is unlikely to win the premier league any time soon because who would have imagined them losing two consecutive premier league titles to Manchester City even when they had the advantage to utilize and claim the title but what did they do, flopped and lost on two seasons. It's really very shameful because not that Arsenal doesn't make a good squad, they do but obviously they ain't yet prepared to lift the premier league and am even afraid of how their performance may turn out this season considering the fact that they made two clear attempts to win the league title but never did. Definitely, the players gonna look tired this season when they reflect on their past performances for two consecutive seasons but couldn't win the league trophy.

Just like you said, even the players are so backwards in international duty just imagine England losing the finals when two Arsenal players would have been recorded for winning the Tournament with England but they still lost, such a pity that Arsenal and their players are so unfortunate and some players may consider moving out of Arsenal for them to get their breakthrough, Granit Zhaka moved out of Arsenal and won the Bundesliga with Bayern Leverkusen so am wondering if a spell was casted on Arsenal not to win the title for two decades now.

Exactly!
All Arsenal players are very hungry for title because last season was a lesson for the team in general because they misused some opportunities by defending on the Premier League title, they lose their way to win either FA cup or the Carabao Cup just because they focus on the team’s main target which was winning the EPL.

Nevertheless, the players and the manager were very keen towards winning a title for the team, they will never misuse any opportunity on any competition they will be playing next season and as such, they will do their best to perform very well next season in the EPL and I am also convinced that my team Arsenal will win the EPL title and some titles next season.

Maybe Manchester United will end the season in the position where they ended last season, or even worse. Everyone complained about injury problems that they had last season, that was why their performance was so poor, but the new season will soon be starting. Let’s wait and see what they will be complaining about this season, because I am not expecting any improvement from Manchester United. I am not expecting Manchester United to end the season in the top 5.

Manchester United has to improve in every aspect, we saw how their performance dropped towards the end of last season. Ten Hag really has to change his strategy, if he doesn't, then United's performance will be worse this season.

No one thinks that pre-season matches are taken seriously, they do pre-season matches just to see how much strength they have. It is not uncommon for us to see them fielding all the players in one match, from there we can see that their goal is to see the ability of an individual player and carry out many strategies to be applied later in the real match.
There are many cases where a team is very good in pre-season, but they are bad in the actual match. It is not uncommon for us to see teams that play badly in pre-season matches, but in actual matches they can play very well. That means they are not serious in pre-season.
Regarding betting, I also really avoid betting in pre-season, because the risk is very big because they don't play to the best of their abilities. In the past I have experienced many losses when betting on pre-season matches.

No! This is not a problem for Manchester United, they have no interest in the player, they're only making possible inquires about the player if he'll suit them squad or whatever.
Secondly, they're in no Competition with Bayern Munich, nor do they have such intentions to go head for head with Bayern Munich for Jonathan Tah. It's simply clear,  Bayern Munich wants Jonathan Tah and he also wants them. Not even Bayern Leverkusen would be able to stop him from moving.

Manchester United has just signed a new defender who will definitely last the club a long time. He is young but still class at his age. Leny Yoro is the name, he has also just been announced recently as a Manchester United player. Asides Leny Yoro, Manchester United are not giving up on the name De Ligt, who Erik Ten Hag wants clearly. There's no issues with the personal terms agreement but Manchester United and Bayern Munich are yet to have agreement on what valuations to sell him.

That why is good to be good if assume Manchester United did well last season many will have considered them the way you thought, even I personally didn't condemn them because I have the same thoughts as yours, likewise I consider the opponent to be playing well better then them because it a privilege to them for playing with a huge team like Manchester United and also most of the players there really want to take advantage of that to make themselves popular for other big teams to see how they are performing to get lift up. It even too early to judge, let see how the senior men will play when the league starts.

Previously Leny Yoro almost moved to Real Madrid but this transfer wasn't happened because Real Madrid has withdraw from this race and the main causes why Real Madrid didn't buy him is because Leny Yoro has demanding high salary and  apparently Manchester United is the winner and they will gets his signature and i am not surprised why Manchester United is really want Leny Yoro because he is promising player and with his current age which 18 years old Leny Yoro has being an Lille important player on Lille defensive lines

Why Ten Hag insist want to bought Leny Yoro from Lille is he can be used to played at several different position such as right back or centre back and Leny Yoro also can be considered as the replacement of Varane who leave Manchester United with free transfer status and some people has been predict Ten Hag can maximized his potention and i can see it that Manchester United is really to focusing their defensive lines because after gets Leny Yoro Manchester United also will buy Matthijs De Ligt from Bayern Munich

Besides those names above it says Manchester United will attempts to strengthen their midfield lines too especially they will lost some of players on that position because the names such as Scott McTominay, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen most likely will be sell so that's why Manchester United still attempts to gets Adrien Rabiot from Juventus and apparently this transfer will possibly to happend because Adrien Rabiot also interested to joining with Manchester United and the good thing is Manchester United will gets this player for free

Arsenal choked when it mattered for the second season in a row. Very few of their players have won a trophy, even at international level, Rice and Saka choked in the final against Spain.

I’m far from convinced they will win the PL title this season.

Ten Hag isn't the whole problem here. He's got that strict drill sergeant vibe, doesn't quite fit the United way, and that can mess with the players' heads. But getting rid of him isn't a magic solution either. New manager, new chaos, and we all know how that song and dance goes at Old Trafford. Fresh blood could bring fresh ideas, maybe shake up the squad a bit. But we've seen this movie before. New guy comes in, promises the world, then we're back to square one. United needs a plan, man. Not just a manager, but a damn vision. Build up that youth academy, make some smart buys, and for God's sake, stop throwing money at big names who don't give a damn about the badge. It's about time the Glazers (and even this Ratcliffe guy) understand that
