Wow! It seems like Sevilla won't be able to qualify for Europa League knockout stage this time. Because to be able to do this they have to win against Lens. There is no other way to do it.

But can they? Honestly I'm not a believer here. Sevilla have been horrible throughout the group stage. They have got 0 win until now. It was almost like they were beating PSV home in their last game though. However that red card brought Sevilla's end very quickly by a big comeback from PSV. Lens aren't a competitor to be underestimated. They even beat Arsenal home and I wouldn't take them on against Sevilla for certain. But both teams to score could be a nice option to bet on.

Of course, Bayern Munich has qualified for the last 16 rounds, this had already been sealed even before now as they top in performance in their group with none of the competitors powerful enough to displace them for long. But I see trouble for Bayern after the group stage, and one of the reasons why they were able to perform this much is because they were not paired with tough clubs. Is it Man U, Copenhagen or Galatasaray? None were matches for Bayern Munich, which was how they got their good score. However, going forward might be more difficult for them even as the tournament is expected to become more interesting. The likes of Arsenal, Man City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and many more who are also qualified will give them a very tough time.

Besides, in group A, the magic performed by Copenhagen surprised me and kudos to them, in just a few weeks, they got the second spot. That's brilliant and good luck to them if I must say, and no thanks to Man U for being disappointing. Also, about Ten Hag, I must agree in full with you, he is not capable really, another opportunity wasted.

Anything is still possible and don't ignore it completely. If you're saying there's no point in putting any good faith in Manchester United in their remaining chances, then perhaps it would be good if they never entered the competition because they ultimately failed. Failing is not what they and every team want, but it is the result of the team's unsatisfactory performance. Of course there is a chance to improve it, but now things are very difficult.

Newcastle is also in the same situation, but Newcastle looks more convincing than Manchester United. If Newcastle and Manchester United fail, then the Premier League will only have two teams left in the round of 16, namely Manchester City and Arsenal.

I think it's pointless to give Manchester United any confidence of coming out successfully from the group stage to the next stage, even Europa is not guarantee right now in this stage but I know that it's not a good thing to give up even when there is no hope. If Manchester United comes out of this creepy hole and make a good way to the Champions League, trust me they will go far after that because they will be the most luckiest team to come far after all the gimmick that is surrounding them.

Erik Ten need to do better and scold players when necessary, he is always defending Onana but I get his reason, he doesn't want to be judge for making bad decisions about the player he thinks was better than David De Gea but I still prefer De Gea over any goalkeeper that Manchester United and Ten Hag will bring to that team.

Bayern Munich have sealed a spot in next round but they won't settle for any relenting actions, rather they will look forward for a win. Manchester United will not be able to handle Bayern Munich in their last tier UEFA game in group stage. Erik Ten Hag is incompetent to lead the Red Devils this season, because his weaknesses are already there and they will suffered enough shocking defeats against elite and average clubs this season, losing in major tournaments and also recording defeats in English Premier League is discouraging results for the club.

I don't even dare to agree with what you say, because in football anything can happen. If Copenhagen is able to hold Bayern to a draw at the Allianz Arena, why not Manchester United. Despite Manchester United's poor performance, football is unique and interesting. Not infrequently, the results are unpredictable. Moreover, if Bayern let United win the next meeting. Such things can happen and Galatasaray vs Copenhagen ends in a draw. which means, United has 7 points while the other two teams both have 6 points. This is just another scenario that could possibly happen.

Even though I am well aware, United's chances of qualifying for the next round are very slim. without exception, they will also find it difficult to get tickets to the Europa League playoffs. but as I said above, we won't know until the game starts or ends. Does United have a chance, yeah, even though it's very slim.
Just imagine, if we could confirm the results of matches that have not yet been presented, football would no longer be exciting and interesting. and this is the interesting part, we have to wait first and see if in the end Erik Ten Hag fails to bring the squad under his care. whether Galatasaray accompanying Bayern Munich, or Copenhagen. To be sure, everything is still a mystery. Even though we can predict it through statistics and data, football is not just a matter of statistics and data. because after all, the result is determined when the match is played, there are no other words other than let's just wait.

That's just a theory but the fact remains that it will be difficult to happen because of course, the match between Galatasaray and Copenhagen will also have high tension because the two teams also have the chance to finish as runners up. That way, then of course they will play with the maximum also of course to win in the last match like this. Moreover, Manchester United get a more difficult opponent and thus, I believe there is no big chance for Manchester United to win in this match. At least, maybe only a draw result that Manchester United can get and thus, Manchester United will still not qualify.

Hell of course not... No confession and sincerity needed to say that Manchester United is rubbish this season, and in my honest () opinion, they were also trash last season. But many other teams were trash and then it came down to who is most trash and who is least trash and for some reason Manchester United managed to be less trash than Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea. That is how they got into the Champions League. It certainly wasn't because of impressive performances and great coaching by ten Hag.

First, they have to win against Bayern Munich is a very difficult thing. Secondly, expecting a draw in the Galatasaray vs Copenhagen match is also very difficult. Hoping for others is a very difficult thing, not only in football, but even in life it will be very difficult. Lol
It's luck that will get them through, why? Because if they rely on themselves maybe I would say it's the result of their hard work, yes although I can't let go there is luck, but it doesn't dominate. But when hoping on other clubs, it is pure luck in my opinion.

Honestly, watching Manchester United in the Champions League this season has been like witnessing a slow-motion car crash. They are obviously not at the same level as the best teams. I'm anticipating nothing less than a reality check against Bayern Munich. The team's performance and Ten Hag's strategies have just fallen short. At this point, it's just unacceptable that there is a pattern of blunders leading to goals that keeps happening. There is, however, still some hope in the EPL. To be honest though, it will take a lot more than hope to place in the top three. The management must take swift action. It looks like we're in for another disappointing season if they don't make some changes. We cannot simply carry on in the same manner and hope for different outcomes

Maybe You're disappointed because you expected too much from the game against Galatasaray and Newcastle United. I know they have nothing to offer so I barely see the games, I just go for them highlights.
Marcus Rashford maybe should be used as a central forward just like he was last season, on the flanks for Manchester United he has been nothing but useless. Why do I feel like I've seen this Rashford and Garnacho failing to help the defenders somewhere?

Erik Ten Hag may still not be sacked. A good coach he's been, Ralf Ragnick they'll need more than what they're currently doing within Manchester United. He needs to be backed.

These two things are quite difficult for Manchester United because the opponents they face are quite tough opponents in Group A so far and Copenhagen and Galatasaray will also try their best to win so they can qualify for the next round. Because Copenhagen and Galatasaray are both very aware that they also have the opportunity to qualify for the next round if they can win their final match in Group A. So this will certainly be quite difficult for Manchester United in their last match because apart from having to hope to win, they also have to hope that the other side's match ends in a draw.

For United, they've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons again when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week.

 Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. United needs a switch and not just any switch but a more reasonable switch that'll understand their condition and think innovatively without sentiments with the goal of team building and growth and implement new methods to combat their opponents. I don't know what the board is waiting for to realize the big error Ten Hag is to the team. The entire team has been infected with his virus and they need to be quarantined and looked after to return back to their usual self again. Sadly it may take a while but we hope it's soon.

I shall agree with you. The chance owned by manchester united is pretty small right now. It's hard to believe if manchester united will able to manage it to go to the knockout stage. The chance owned by manchester united is very small.
Im sure that manchester united will not able to go to the next stage, MU is finished in UCL. It shall get another chance to try again in the future. People are hoping to much to see united to win against bayern in the last match day.
The match will end with draw as the final result. MU may win the game but the chance is very small.

Even though the situation is very difficult, Manchester United still has a chance to qualify for the round of 16. The only way for Manchester United to qualify for the last 16 is to win against Bayer Munchen and hope that the match between Copenhagen vs Galatasaray ends in a draw. Even though it's tough, in football anything can happen.

On matchday 6 or the last match, the scenario that applies is like Bayern Munchen winning again over United and Galatasaray winning over Copenhagen. Only a miracle can change United fate in group A, even if we ask Ten Hag directly, the bald man will say the same thing. Rationally, the situation could change, but I still believe there is little chance of a surprise, I mean United accompanying Bayern to the last 16.

Turning a little to the EPL, United situation has not improved there, the ups and downs in performance continue and most recently Ten Hag squad lost to Newcastle. Automatically, the steps to push into the UCL zone were stumbled, and Newcastle managed to overtake them in the standings temporarily. Ten Hag has to think about how to improve the team performance so they can finish in the top four, which could ultimately make them appear again next season in the UCL.

There is a chance but this is a very small chance. The requirement is galatasaray and copenhagen needs to get draw while united must have won against bayern. This is obviously not an easy task to be done by united. The chance for this situation to happen is very small.
Copenhagen and galatasaray can finish with 6 points while at the same time MU can finish with 7 points as long as it will able to beat MU. Im not sure if bayern is willing to give three points to the manchester united.  

How well Manchester United play against Bayern Munich later but still, I not entirely sure Manchester United can get points. I don't care about the draw result which Copenhagen got against Bayern Munich,because I sure their tension will certainly be very different if the opponent they face is also a big team . Also, even though Bayern Munich has certainly qualified for the round of 16, but I still very sure Bayern Munich will still be ambitious to beat Manchester United. Although indeed, if considering based on theory at least Mancheser United still has a chance to win or draw . But ya, I will absolutely stick to my personal prediction that Bayern Munich will still target to get a winning result in their last match in this group phase against Manchester United.

But to their excuse I think it would also be fair to mention that managing a radical change after an era of a team that was full of some of the best football players in history, it is essentially guaranteed that they can't create a new team of the same level. Iniesta, Xavi, Mascherano, Messi, the whole defense they had with Jordi Alba in his prime, Piquet, even Puyol for some time. If all those players are gone and a coach is trying to form a new team that makes the fans happy the same way the last team did, what are the chances that it works out? 

Currently I doubt if there's a better option out there for the replacement of Erik ten hag and this could be the possible reason he still have a job, and aswell the reason he isn't working hard enough to change the narrative rather he keeps doing his bid because he thinks at this time his job is still safe.

It's high time the management of Manchester united begin to sort for a replacement and if they finally do, they shouldn't make the mistakes the did with ten hag by giving so much power to the coach such that he get too arrogant because he feels he has got so much power when it has to do with decisions that concerns the team. Last season ten hag did fairly well enough that have him the privileges he seem to be abusing at the moment, his relationship with his players by most indication is poor and it's actually affecting their performance so far
