The opportunity for Manchester United to finish in the top four is still open, and if it can be realized, perhaps Ten Hag will be retained until his contract ends. However, we see that the competition is currently quite fierce, especially with Aston Villa recent entry into the UCL zone. They were even able to shift Man City position in the standings, so maybe that was the toughest job for Ten Hag, apart from trying in the UCL this time. If the opposite happens, then you can be sure that his career at Old Trafford will end quickly, and I think management will prefer to appoint an interim coach rather than seeing Ten Hag manage the team badly and fail to appear in the UCL next season.

It cannot be denied that Ten Hag has a tough character and he wants to apply that to the United squad. So far it has failed, he should try to think of other ways to change the situation, and the most important thing is to create good relationships with his players. Isolating Sancho would not be an advantage, in fact it would be a big mistake that would set a bad example for everyone in the team. Regarding Ten Hag successor if he is really fired, I am interested in Zidane to take charge of the club, and I think Zidane can take United through the group phase easily, unlike Ten Hag at the moment.

PSG are still under danger now. They can still find themselves in the Europa League after the last group games. Because their general performance hasn't been decent and their last game won't be easy for them. The positive part that could be in favour of them is that Dortmund have guaranteed qualifying for last 16.

Therefore Dortmund could play more comfortably against PSG in the last game. PSG have been really inadequate in away games in the group until now. However this is a critical game against a team like this.

I feel like PSG will find a way to win to secure their qualification. Because I believe that Newcastle - Milan game won't end in a draw.

Tomorrow will definitely a big day, it's all going to be decided and we are going to end up seeing how it all ends. I do believe that it has been one of the most entertaining group stages in a long time, all that group A, bayern and united vs copenhagen and galatasaray games are so exciting to see and I believe that we are going to end up seeing things change a lot without a doubt, it's going to be quite entertaining to see.

I get that it's not going to be easy to handle, but it's not going to be all that impossible to handle neither, we are going to end up with something that should be fun to watch. Tomorrow evening I am going to be able to get dual screen on, and just watch both games at the same time, will be super fun.

Let's not start what we can't finished. Manchester United aren't going no where; didn't you see what they played against Bournemouth on Saturday? In Old Trafford, they let such small team to downgraded them so badly? It's a shame on Erik Ten with such performance. If they received such a treatment from Bournemouth, you think Bayern are going to spare them like that even when Tuchel had it's last home match not trilling to fans, I still think Bayern Munich are coming to Old Trafford to scatter everywhere and no one will be spare.

There future in Europa qualifications is not certain, I will rate it 3/10 possibility because if Galatasaray and Copenhagen played, any one of them that win will have qualification to the Champions League along with Bayern Munich while the third team will have to go for Europa and Manchester United with the least point will come back home and try again maybe in another two years to come because I don't think they have that power to finish top 4 to have a place against next year, till next 2 years again that is if they make it by that time.

The loss against Atalanta in Serie A might have an impact on AC Milan's confidence. But both Milan and Newcastle are overall in the exact same situation, both lost their last league game, even the same points, same chance in this last group stage game, but only one of these two teams will stay in europe, whether it's UCL or UEL. Both teams share equal pressure anticipating the game, but just Newcastle have the home adventage and they have a very good track record at home, while Milan have a bad track record away.

Both team have slim chance to progress onto Round of 16 with a win and PSG's loss. The reference to the possibility of a miracle reflects the unpredictable nature of football and the potential for unexpected turns of events. Regardless of the outcome, the commitment and effort of the players will likely be crucial in navigating the challenges they face. Fans can always hope for the best, even in challenging circumstances.

The question of who should be the right person to replace Ten Hag is one that Manchester United management should be attempting to answer, as they have fired numerous coaches as a result of poor performances after Sir Ferguson's retirement that happened in 2013.
It's by next season, that Ten Hag will be sacked. Manchester United management is only providing him a window of opportunity to see if he can improve Manchester United's play before the end of the current season like he did when he helped the team finish in the top 4. Who knows, maybe this season will see the same thing?

If Manchester United defeats Bayern Munich, I will also consider that to be a miracle also. And as it stands, Bayern Munich will be hoping that the same miracle occurs to them by defeating Manchester United as well, due to their terrible regret over what happened of their last match in bundesliga league, So I don't think they'll play Manchester United softly despite Bayern Munich leading the group, and even if Manchester United lucky to defeat Bayern Munich they still needs to hope for FC Copenhagen and Galataseray to draw because that is the only way they can move up to the second position in the table, but Is Erik ten Hag prepared to overcome Bayern with the useless they are playing in the Premier League?

Bayern Munich is still definitely stronger compared to Manchester United. And I don't think they are going to lose against Manchester United. And we also understand that the reason why Bayern Munich lost the match against Frankfurt was them not taking the match seriously. They tried to play the rotation players a little too much, and that was their downfall.

Even though at first I thought Bayern Munich was probably not going to take the match against Manchester United seriously. I think now Bayern Munich will try to make a statement by going with full power in the match against Manchester United.

It is true, they will join the group stage in Europa League if they succeed to beat Bayern Munich in the final match. If Copenhagen or Galatasaray wins the final match, Man United will finish in the 3rd place. So, they will qualify for the group stage of Europa League. I think it is not a very bad result if they still can compete in Europa League. At least, Man United will have the chance to win a trophy of Europa League. But if they fail to win against Bayern Munich, Man United will have no chance in all international competitions (UCL and Europa League). So, for the final match, it is a must to win against Bayern Munich. I'm sure Man United will play all out for the match.

I see the odds from the Manchester United and Bayern munich game, and the bookies seems to think that Bayern is gonna play without so much effort, because they have the same odds for a victory... i dont know if that is gonna happen.

Thinking about how bad Manchester United arrrives to this game, for me is a golden opportunity for Bayern to make a historic victory on Old Trafford.

Arsenal was confirmed as the winners of the group B in the UEFA Champions League competition after the 6:0 thumping of Lens in their match day 5 and I don't expect the manager of the the club Mikel Arteta to field their first team players in the final game of the group stage when the play against PSV on Thursday. Arsenal has been impressive since the start of the season but were defeated last weekend in the English Premier League by Aston Villa which made them lose their place at the top of the league table. There are a lot of games to play in the festive period for Arsenal and the manager would like to rest his important players on games that aren't crucial in other to keep them fit for the busy festive season that's coming up.
 Just like Manchester United, Bayern Munich also lost in the their own league during the weekend but unlike Manchester United the German champions have already sealed their place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League and that's why a lot of people are of the opinion that Manchester United will win their tomorrow game against Bayern Munich because any result apart from a win ends their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich is one the traditional clubs in Europe and they know how important it is to win matches in the UEFA Champions League even when the result isn't gonna affect them in the competition and that's why I think they'll still want to do anything possible to steal a win in the game tomorrow.

Bayern Munich was not too serious about the match against Copenhagen. As they qualified for the round of 16, the match was not important for them either. The match against Manchester United is also important for Bayern Munich. But in the last Bundesliga match we saw mighty Bayern Munich concede a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt. And Munich fans are now disappointed after this defeat. So maybe Bayern Munich will want to appease their fans by beating Manchester United. I think Bayern Munich will play to win this match. Also, since Manchester United's performance is weak now, Bayern Munich's chances of winning are high.

I think it is very difficult to predict the winner of the Copenhagen-Galatasaray match. Copenhagen has a great advantage because it plays on its home field. Considering that they are used to the weather conditions, the harsh cold may hinder Galatasaray's good play. I think Copenhagen will win, but of course, Galatasaray is in my heart because it is a Turkish team.

Surely Manchester United will go all in in this game as they have got nothing to lose so most likely it will be an attacking Manchester United that we will see tomorrow and I assume this game will have many goals because by attacking Manchester United will leave many spaces open behind.

Bayern with whichever formation or line up play they are going to profit from these open spaces and I am sure even the substitute eleven of Bayern Munchen can score goals from faster counter attacks.Copenhagen was lucky in Bayern as if they play 100 times more they will lose 100 times there.

I think Manchester United have a significant chance to beat Bayern Munich tomorrow night. The odds are favouring Bayern Munich but the odds are very high. I'm even thinking of betting on Manchester United to win this game. Because Bayern Munich are currently aimless as they have guaranteed finishing the group as the leader.

Copenhagen stole points from them even at Allianz Arena. Why wouldn't Manchester United win at Old Trafford? We don't even know what kind of a starting lineup Bayern Munich will have. Even if they play with their usual lineup still I expect Manchester United to win this game and to hope to get a good result from the other game of the group to make it to last 16.

Actually that's what the faith of Manchester United stands on now because there chances of qualifying even if they manages to win Bayern Munich is very little because I don't think Copenhagen is willing to take any chances and however considering there both performance this season we are obviously aware that Galatasaray is in no performance to compare themselves with Copenhagen because that match is a win match for Copenhagen.

But however if Manchester United will be very lucky if Galatasaray and Copenhagen will draw, there could be a higher chance for them to win Bayern Munich because right now Bayern Munich interest is not really on this match that was why they lost there match last week on Bundesliga were are a small club beat them 5-1 on there home, so however if a small team should score them that much imagine how many goals Manchester United will give them if they play the same way they did on that match.

The second tier squad is likely to play in this match and Mikel Arteta does not mean to underestimate PSV, it's just that they want to maintain the stamina of their main players so they can focus more on the domestic league. Any result will not have an impact on Arsenal's current position in the group stage and maybe PSV will take this opportunity to win the match.

There is no doubt that Arsenal's future schedule in the domestic league will be more difficult and with the list of teams they will face next, of course Mikel Arteta will try hard so that his team does not lose a single game in that match. So the final match in the Champions League against PSV looks like it's just a formal match for Arsenal and they won't be chasing too much whatever the result is.

Immediately fire ten Hag? Just see how many chances he was given this season and yet he failed every time to get the team going and live up to their potential.

The idea that the results from last season should save a coach from getting fired for the current season is not in the best interest of anyone supporting Manchester United. It's different when someone like Klopp won the Champions League, won Premier league titles and then has a hard time with Liverpool that he is given another chance. But when we are honest about Manchester United and ten Hag, there was so much inconsistency that in my opinion it is not acceptable anymore. Opinions can differ of course, but this is not a Champions League team anymore and since they are a part of European football history, they should do everything necessary to bring them back to the top - without ten Hag.

I can't blame Ten Hag for pushing any player away. It's his team and he wants to play a certain kind of way and those players make it difficult for him, according to him and that's fine. My problem with him is sending these players away when the players he's signing plays almost the same way the outgoing players play.
In what world did Ten Hag think Weghorst would be a better top striker than Ronaldo? He complained about Ronaldo not fitting into his set up, and that's fine, like I said it's his team, but why sign Weghorst who has similar attributes in playing style with Ronaldo but not better than Ronaldo.

The whole football world was surprised that United were ready to spend £100 million on Antony. What were they expecting him to do? You spend that kind of money on a player that can guarantee you 30 G/A every season. Anthony can't give you half of that for 2 seasons straight.
Ten Hag would be sacked, that's inevitable at this rate. Right now there's not United does well on the field.
I'm not saying Ten Hag is the only problem in Manchester United's current form, but he's a part of the problem.

Both Arsenal and PSV already qualified for the next round with we will have no changes in positions as well but still this is going to be tough match for the Arsenal which is having first defeat after six matches against Aston Villa will give their best for having better result in this game because this is important for their moral and next few challenging games as well now we are heading for the next half of the season which is more crucial for the big teams, but things can go either way in last two meetings we already have wins for the PSV which is also leading into their league with their impressive performance and their quality is also good.

For me most chances Arsenal will play casually because they have more challenging games in EPL, and they need to concentrate of them instead of having any injury or other problem in other games, hopefully we will have entertaining game which could be last for group stages with this format as well.
