Well in Sir Alex Ferguson era, Manchester United name was shining and things in the team weren't great after him. Ten Hag saved Manchester United in the beginning from a disastrous season and he was able to win a trophy at least this season. I wouldn't say that he was the saviour or the best choice but at least he tried but Manchester United needs more qualified players and to rely less on players that no longer can add something to the team.
I agree that a new coach and new strategies are a must to improve the team especially with a comprehensive staff that could give some money to recruit new players so a better outcome would be expected.

Yesterday, I read a report that Chelsea are trying to sign Julian Alvarez to the team but what wasn't stated in the report was if it was on permanent basis or on loan offer. Though many people will argue with me but if I'm to be a club manager, I'll easily pick Julian Alvarez ahead of Erling Haaland because he's more of a team player than his Norwegian teammate. Julian Alvarez does fall deep when the opposing team defense is becoming too hard to break and creates chances for others to score and he's also better than Haaland in terms of foot work.
If Manchester City is now open to loan the Argentine out for next season, I think it's a good decision that'll favor Alvarez because it'll give him more playing time to reach the peak of his potentials. If not Chelsea, Alvarez should go to another big club in England and prove himself.

In as much as Haaland is injury-free every season definitely Julián Álvarez would have a limited playing time, though Guardiola had played the duo in some matches I think it hasn't yielded positive results that is why Alvarez is usually on the bench in most matches though Guardiola had tried to give him game time , from my own point of view if PSG can guarantee him a regular playing time then he should leave because he is expected to play regularly for his club to retain his role on national team (Argentina) striker else another striker might take his position.

Fernandes has actually played quite well so far, it's just that Ten Hag doesn't have the best way to tame the squad he handles. There are rumors that several former Man Utd players say that the only person worthy of managing Man Utd now is Zidane, they are very confident that Zidane will be able to return Man Utd's glory as when it was still managed by Alex Ferguson. The composition of Man Utd's players is actually very good and just like you, I also think that Fernandes is currently 29 and he is still fit to play for Man Utd for some time to come.

I wouldn't compare like that exactly, I think the result of this goal difference in goals scored and conceded is due to poor tactics and match formation. They don't just need to change the coach who tried to build something all season and failed - they also need to buy players, review and rebuild the squad. I think only a new coach can do that without bias

I don't know what you are talking about, dude. After acquiring Mbappe for Real Madrid, they did not even think of adding another centre-forward player to the team. This season, they won the Champions League even without their centre-forward and transferred Mbappe. Why should they be interested in Halaand?

He has an ongoing contract with Manchester City. Even if his contract expires, Manchester City will be very willing to sign him for a new contract.

One of the players I respected the most this season was Bruno Fernandes. I have been talking about this with my friends for a few days, he is one of the biggest star players of the team. It is not right to just look at the statistics, his statistics are not bad at all, but I think he has a special place in the team. Now, when he is on the field, Manchester plays much better and he manages to contribute positively to the team in every aspect

That was because the general team performance was horrible and confusing. Most at times, he was even played off his best position for Manchester United and these are sacrifices meant to be made for the club. All of these did not happen last season at least when thru had players fit and present.
Scott MC Tominay during some game was played on the number 10 position right behind the strikers bit he was productive.

No look assist was the only thing you saw during that finals? He had a great game all rounder. I have a good picture of how he dropped deep in midfied so he could shield up the carded Kobbie Mainoo.

Honestly, I don’t really know much about him either, and I have seen Chelsea fans hyping him, but I don’t longer care about what people say about a coach if I haven’t seen his performance. Let’s see how he will perform when the season starts, maybe he is really worth the hype, and maybe he is a better coach than Pochettino which Chelsea sacked. But left to me, I still think Chelsea should have just allowed Pochettino to stay in the club. I heard he signed only one year contract with Chelsea, but with the way pochettino performed towards the end of the season, they should have extended his stay in the club.

until now I have not heard the strongest rumors regarding Haaland being sold to another team, whereas Man City success was achieved last season with Haaland and also assisted by KDB who is currently linked to another team.
In the near future, Man City does not have these plans and may prefer to sell players who are no longer productive, such as several defenders or other midfielders, rather than having to sell Haaland, who is still Man City mainstay player and on the one hand, before there is a striker player in the squad targeted by Man City who has skills equivalent to Haaland, this player will not be let go, or in other words, Man City is currently still dependent on Haaland talent.

even so he has been injured, the fact is that he can still make a very good contribution, even though it is not very optimal, but the fact is that Man City is still the leader of the EPL and this is one of the biggest contributions from Guardiola mainstay player.
Haaland contract with Man City is still very long and if there are rumors saying Haaland is being linked with another team, I'm sure it's just fake news that won't happen.

Suddenly as peoples were feeling now Manchester City is stable and going to have things well under control we are had too many players those are looking for the exit or having increased playing time which is surely indicating things are going to be take change which is not good while they are doing impressive in Premier League and Champions League so now it's important for them to organize things which create stability and all players feel better because if they are having problems then surely this instability will be created problems for them which is not idea for the team's performance.

Julian Alvarez is doing impressive job, and he gives his best while his teams required his services, so just because of this he is in Pepe's project for this club until he is here performing as coach.

Manchester city will not think of selling Haaland who is their goal machine at all time. If Haaland leaves City, they will suffer to get a good striker like him and that is the reason why they will not let him go. He is still young and has a lot to give to City.

Haaland was still able to win the highest goal scorer last season without playing in some matches due to injury. De Bruyne works hand in ha d with Haaland because he will never miss the net if he is properly positioned. No club will want to lose such a player at the moment when other clubs are busy buying professional players to add to their team.

The new boss of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca, I don't know much about him. But I have heard a lot of people say that he is not going to be a good coach for Chelsea. I don’t know how true that is. But I know that he has done a very good job with Leicester City to actually get them promoted to the English Premier League. he has also impressed a lot of people with his coaching quality. So there is a possibility that he will be able to do well with Chelsea. But it is definitely not a guarantee. I still feel like Chelsea should have given the previous coach that they just fired a little more time. He was just starting to bring in good results with Chelsea. And suddenly Chelsea fired him. now there is another new coach who will implement new tactics again & the Chelsea squad will have to get used to another new tactics. That is probably not very optimal for any squad.

In this season, we are having few interesting things with Mbappé is already gone to PSG, and now they want to have someone who can bring results for them with fist they have interest in Osimhen and now their target is Julian Alvarez which is currently important for the Pepe Guardiola, so things are quite interesting with most chances they will never allow him to leave club at this stage because now they are already trying to have some stability which helps them to have better results in coming season so if he leaves this could be problem for them.

Manchester City's statement about increasing his playing time is also rightly because now they understand if they want to keep him they have to do this otherwise player will be also looking for new opportunities which are not suitable for the Pepe and Manchester City in coming season.

It remains to wait whether Alvarez will choose PSG or wait for the big because in reality he can still play regularly although not with full time but his contribution at Manchester City does not need to be doubted he is an easy future talent for Manchester City.

It is certain that if he stays with his current team, he can have more titles including the Champion League because Manchester City is always a candidate for a tight competitor with Real Madrid.

If Alvarez moves to PSG then only the Ligue 1 trophy while for the UCL trophy competition I am still skeptical for PSG, they will not reach that level.

It seems that Manchester City is fully aware that if they lose Julian Alvarez they will lose quite a lot of squad depth. Julian Alvarez can not only be a striker and sometimes he was used as an AMF by Pep Guardiola this season when De Bruyne was injured. It seems like pressure is coming from club management so that Pep Guardiola can play him often, even if only for a short time.

We all know what it's like to experience a decline in performance if you don't play matches often and maybe that's what Julian Alvarez is afraid of if he continues as a bench warmer. Occasionally, when they are ahead, even with a landslide score, Manchester City must have the courage to give it a chance so that at least Julian Alvarez can be calm and happy about his future.

I feel like Bruno could be considered possibly the best player in the last 10 years of Manchester United. Not just like in talent or just a season or so, if you go back for the past 10 years, and see which player stayed and still helped after all this time, nobody else did. Either people left, or people just didn't do that well more than a few seasons.

Bruno on the other hand both stayed, and he did amazingly well too for all this time. And not like he gets bored or tired, it could be his 44th game of the season and if he needs to sprint he still sprints and does what he has to do. That has to be the most important part because a lot of people miss that part, if you can arrange something like that then you know what you are doing.

At this point, it honestly seems like we are the ones that are actually interested about the good performance of Manchester United. Because Manchester United themselves seem to be bothered about the performance that is going on from them. They have a lot of players That are not performing as they should be. Antony does nothing other than spinning. And he is only good for the memes at this point. it is actually hard to pinpoint one single player who has been consistent for 10 matches straight for Manchester United. At least I failed to do that.

There is a big probability that Ten Hag is still going to be the coach of Manchester United next season. Honestly, if that happens, I am not going to be surprised if Manchester United actually finishes somewhere near the relegation zone.

The fact that the new coach appointed by Napoli wants lukaku aswell and so to give him the enabling environment to be able to work well and deliver the desired results, they will be ready to buy any player recommend by him to the management of the team. Napoli looks very determined to wanting to get their team back in a best shape by next season and they have been doing all they can to making sure that is a reality by getting a new coach and players too.

If Napoli succeeds in buying lukaku, he is not going back to Chelsea again as he should at the end of his loan time, Chelsea may not really need him that much as they have got a good striker who's going to fit in the position well enough as a striker, the likes of palmer have been very useful to the team this season and except he's been sold out, I don't think Chelsea will really need a striker at this point in time, he's still a very young talented player who can stay with then awhile, before leaving. And they my then be having a need for a striker in Chelsea.

At this point osimhen appears like someone who isn't Looking for a club side where he's will be most concerned with the money, rather where he will be able to see opportunities and become a better player than he has been at Napoli,, a chance to be able to compete at a higher level and also win personal awards too appears to be of more concern to him than that of a place where he will just get paid and his career may not advance as it should.

I personally don't really like Bruno Fernandes who is always in the Manchester United squad, he can sometimes be a very selfish player. Most fans may have considered Bruno to be the best player in the squad so far, but I don't really agree with that even though I know Bruno has made a big contribution in the last few seasons.

It is hoped that the regeneration will help Manchester United build a more solid and unified squad. Of course it is true that it requires a lot of money and time, but this dream could become a reality if Manchester United management were willing to fix it. Next season might be very interesting to wait for, there should be improvements as expected.
