Manchester United have improved their game a lot, especially in the Europa League. We saw that they won 1/2 against Viktoria Plzen in the last match. The great performance of Manchester United's players at the moment means that they may be in a good position in the Europa League. So I think that the current coach who is leading Man United forward so well will be successful. Moreover, Manchester United have not lost a single match in the Europa League so far, in fact they are undefeated, currently they are in 7th position in the points table, of course they will try to play better in the next matches.
Yes, Manchester United have improved their game a lot, they won the Europa League match yesterday. By winning this Europa League match, United managed to win three consecutive Europa League matches. Viktoria Plzen is not a very strong team which is why Manchester United won this match very comfortably. One thing you have noticed is that Manchester United is doing well in UEFA Europa League but not doing well in English Premier League. Manchester United players need to perform more consistently and perform well in other big tournaments.

From henceforth, we should expect good performance from Manchester United and to be sure of this anticipated position results, Manchester United should be able to win their neighbour this Sunday derby.

What you are saying about Manchester United made me laugh, are you trying to say that something good is going to come out from these Man UTD players? Brother in as much as Manchester United are showing signs of getting back to winning ways I still doubt that they can get anything against the Citizens. This isn't the first time we are seeing Manchester United playing well in other competitions and going to the EPL to perform woefully, this winning against Plzen shouldn't deceive us all that UTD will be consistent from henceforth, they are not good even the coach hasn't started a project of his own in Manchester United, everything he does has a trace of ETH in it.
Exactly. Manchester United fans shouldn't be super excited about their win today. We all know that any big team from the EPL is supposed to win the game today against Pizen but Manchester United rarely got the win. They were even lucky Pizen missed a lot of goal-scoring opportunities but after United scored the last goal in the 88th minute they silenced the tension from the home players.

With the current squad of Manchester United, they can't go far in the EPL and in tough competitions. Amorim knows this, if he could have one wish now, he would wish for all the players to be sold and have a fresh player which he bought for himself. You can say everything he does still has a touch of ETH in the team because these are the players ETH bought not him. And no matter how hard he tries to use them for the better good they hardly can keep up with the task.
Every victory should be celebrated because victory means joy. There was a time when Manchester United were on the field and the talk of defeat was more than victory, but they are slowly trying to come out of that place. Most of the matches Manchester United have played in the Premier League and Europa League under the new manager have gone in Manchester United's favour. If you look at Manchester United's points table, you will see that Manchester United have moved to number six when they were not supposed to be in this position. 

Lazio is the number one team in the points table and the point difference between Manchester United and this number one team is 4. If the consistent performance of Manchester United, it will be seen that the gap of four points has been reduced by Manchester United. I still expect good things for Manchester, especially in the Europa League.

Club fans always expecting instant  improvement, why? Fortunately for Amorim Manchester United managed to win 1:2 against Plzen tonight else he would have gotten all sort of criticism questioning his capability as Manchester United coach, which is too rushy a thing to do.


 Amorim as much as am concerned, he isn't the problem with Manchester United performance not having significant improvement since the departure of ETH, for it is until some of the existing players in tue club have been replaced with new signings into the squad I see no reason to question Amorim capacity with the club because he was doing great as a head coach with Sporting  CP before taking the UTD job.

For goodness sake, Manchester United is a top top club with high expectations and the fans are eager to see them back to the to real soon. Personally, I have lowered my expectations so I don't get vexed game after game. Too many people faulted EtH saying he lost the dressing room when they should have called out these lads with high pay roles. Pathetic!

Club fans always expecting instant  improvement, why? Fortunately for Amorim Manchester United managed to win 1:2 against Plzen tonight else he would have gotten all sort of criticism questioning his capability as Manchester United coach, which is too rushy a thing to do.

Manchester United's win tonight at Plzen is their first European away win in 20 months and that I think is the incredible effect of their new manager Ruben Amorim. When Manchester United was trailing, a lot of fans of the club who were watching the game with me had already started criticizing Amorim just before they turned the tie around. One of thing I've learnt about Manchester United fans is they mostly do not believe in process hence their expectations of instant success but despite their pressures, I still expect Ruben Amorim to succeed at the club.

Manchester United won by luck yesterday and we can still see that some players in Manchester United don't deserve to be in the team, Manchester United players are not serious and I will say that some players did make Erik Ten Hag become a good coach in Manchester United, Look at Manchester United performance yesterday, the performance is poor and if not for the Hojlund that score the two goals yesterday Manchester United will lose the match Yesterday's.

Many players in the team are very selfish when it comes to assisting in scoring, players like Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho and Rashford these players are selfish when they are on the field and that affects the team to score goals, Ruben Amorim needs to do something about and with the news I hear about Manchester United planning to sell some players it will be very good if the team sell some players like the way Chelsea did and they are doing well now.

So with the current performance of Manchester City you think they can defeat Manchester United this weekend? I'm not saying that Manchester United squad is very good now after winning in the Europa League match tonight but playing against Manchester City that is currently in their worst state I expect Amorim to take this advantage to get a free 3 point because Manchester City is currently dashing free points in all competition.

The United coach can not do anything else aside what he's currently doing in the team right now because I believe he's looking forward to getting additional players during the January transfer window I believe the squad will be strengthen and the team will improve more in their performance.
This is my prediction in the Manchester United game against Manchester City, 1:2 in favour of Manchester United.
at least there is a new spirit and motivation for MU to win the derby. I admit Amorim is enough enthusiast when he plays on the Europa League, he seem like have the target to the Europa League title, I know he never said that, but when I look at how he was so excited tonight, I think he wants that title for this season. Now, MU is ranked 7th where automatically qualify for next round. This is a pretty good achievement for the team who have problems with the squad before. They have step begun to awaken, and start building the team gradually. let's stay tuned who are the next players he recruited to build the perfect team.
.
Manchester united now is at a phase where they will need to focus and make every game count as a win because loses can destabilize the whole process of building because it's been long that united experience anything like consistency and that's exactly what the coach needs to increase the moral of these boys to even start thinking of winning big games like derby matches or long term rivals like Liverpool and arsenal.

In yesterday's match, several popular or favorite teams managed to get a very pleasant victory for Man United fans, Bilbao, Roma, Real Sociedad, Lyon, Porto and Lazio.
These 7 teams managed to get full points to get the best position and unfortunately Galatasaray who I initially predicted to win but ended up sharing points.
It seems that Man United is very enthusiastic in this competition after getting a new coach who can provide a little change for the better.

Yea, the teams you mentioned did well to have atleast win their match and bag the points yesterday but the fact is some of them were just lucky not necessarily that they deserve the winning, lazio is very much on fire, their performance is a topnotch for me, ordinarily I was not expecting them to beat Ajax even though they will, I thought that it would have been  just 2:1 in lazios favour at the end but they were able to win Ajax 1:3 thats a good one for Lazio, as for Amorim team I think a lot needed to be done by Amorim, Manchester United United are struggling that doesn't look nice for the newly hired manager, much is expected from Amorim, there match with pizen was all struggle, they managed to add 1 goal to their existing 1 in the 88th minutes in the match which made them to win, things don't have ro continue like this, they need a to be wining convincly, manchester united has to really improve, Amorim has to put more effort, we saw what he was doing in sporting cp before he came tp Manchester, he was doing great for them and with the recent underperformance of sporting cp, we can easily attribute it to the absence of Amorim, that being said, what now happening, I think he should put in effort and start doing exactly what he was hired for. though am optimistic that Amorim will perfect things to an extent in manchester united with time.

Lazio is the unbeaten team in the Europa League and they are currently at the top of the points table. Atletico Club and Lazio are equal in points. Both teams are undefeated and are in the points table with 16 points. However, we have seen that Lazio won their last match against Ajax by a margin of 1-3 goals. Lazio is currently in the best form in the Europa League and they are ready for a lot of competition in the Europa League, especially their rivalry with Atletico Club. Moreover, the undefeated teams in the Europa League so far include Lazio, Atletico Club, Anderlecht, Galatasaray and Manchester United. These teams may fight a lot of competition in the Europa League and they will be able to go to a good position and continue to compete.
M.Borini have really change Lazio. The way they played, they way they attack in unit and even they way they regroup after losing the ball is facilitating. Honestly, I never expected Lazio to beat Ajax, not at Johan cruijff Arena. It not as if Lazio out played Ajax but one thing Lazio is doing well this season and it was exactly what they've done again is taking their chances. In fact Ajax seems more in control throughout the match, created more chances, had more shot on goal and even more of the possession but they couldn't get that win.

Another person that impressed me in this game is the Nigerian young man Fisayo Dele Bashiru who was earlier this week criticized by his manager that he needs to works more hard and improve. Giving a chance to start in this game and he made use of that chance and done a good work in that midfield definitely and also got a goal to his name. It was a good game for Lazio as they now sit top of the Europa league standing.

Way too many games, and there are way too many close ones too, its not that easy to suggest anything to anyone. No idea what Spurs will do, they are missing plenty of players and been doing badly, could maybe still lose, or they could win too, nothing is certain when things are this volatile. Roma has Ranieri, could maybe win, but they did lose before with him so maybe they will do that again.

Honestly, betting today felt like I was playing that minesweeper or whatever name was game that was on every PC, its really not that much of a good feeling and I am looking at it like its a crazy deal, I need to focus on how to get better odds and deals, like figure out a way to find better offers, because right now, moneyline winner bets look like its not going to be profitable at all, not today at least.
Today, Roma won big against Braga and they entirely controlled this match. They won big, that's good but there are problems in this match, Roma wasted many good opportunities. It doesn't cost them anything in this match because they win it big, but wasting many good chances like this is not good, and in other matches, they will have to pay high cost.

Roma with Ranieri actually are improving and they are playing more stably than with Ivan Juric, but their wake up in Europa League is too late, and they will have to win their last two matches but it won't guarantee a position in top 8. Participating in play-off matches is likely unavoidable with Roma in UEFA Europa League this season.
This result of match is according to my prediction that Roma can easily to win over Braga and since the beginning of match Roma was playing with very aggressive they even can pressed Braga and when the match still entering 10 minutes Roma has successfully to scored by counter attack scheme and after this goal Roma is really dominate the match and they got several opportunities to scores especially after Braga player got the red card and i know although Roma win from this match but they still no guarantee will be qualified but at least under Ranieri Roma has just showing good progress and Roma upcoming opponent in this competition is AZ Alkmaar and if they can win from this match probably Roma can improved their position on League standing

These teams may fight a lot of competition in the Europa League and they will be able to go to a good position and continue to compete.

Lazio is at the top of the Europa League points table. Lazio's performance has been very good since the beginning of the season. Lazio has won 5 out of 6 matches. Athletic Club and Lazio are now level on points. Both have earned 16 points from 6 matches.

Lazio's target this season is to win the Europa League title. Lazio players' performance in Serie A is also very good. We saw Lazio win against Napoli in the last match of Serie A. Lazio also won against strong Ajax in the Europa League match. Qualifying for the knockout round is not a difficult task for Lazio. Lazio will continue to fight until the end to win the Europa League title.

Malmö are very close to scoring. They could have scored another goal in extra time and won. Galatasaray actually made a good comeback. But it wasn't enough. Malmö got their first draw in the league. It looks difficult for them to make the play-offs. Galatasaray were playing for the top 8, but after these point losses it's not easy. They can beat Kiev but the Ajax game will be very difficult.

Galatasaray has a great chance to qualify for the next round if they can play consistently or never lose well in this way they can stay in the top 8 and for Malmo the results are very bad, I think their best achievement will be in the playoff round because Malmo only collects 4 points from 6 matches while only 2 matches left at this stage. Manchester United also still has a chance for the next round without going through a playoff and in the remaining 2 matches they will fight the weak team and mediocre so the addition of 6 points should be enough in the top 8.
Yesterday was an unlucky night for Galatasaray. They had to leave the match with one point after the goal they conceded in extra time. Galatasaray was quite ineffective in the last minutes. Especially after the player changes in the team's midfield, the Swedish team stood out as the team with more possession of the ball. After the player changes, Malmö gained a clear advantage in the game. Galatasaray can even be considered lucky for not losing. They are still one of the few undefeated teams in the Europa League. They continue to claim the top eight.

In fact, Man United had many opportunities, but only a few became goals. They also fell behind first before Rasmus Højlund scored 2 life-saving goals. Amorim felt a little relieved after the epic victory in the UEL while boosting his position in the standings, this victory can also increase the confidence of Man United players when facing Man City in the next match in the EPL. Amorim need to pay attention to Onana suitability as the main goalkeeper because he made another blunder in this match, fortunately Højlund managed to score 2 goals at once making them come back to secure three points.
The concede made by Onana in the second half should have been a fairly decent consideration by Amorim where previously things like that had also happened at Manchester United before Amori coached the team. So Amorim should not be satisfied with the results of the victory because there are many other important matches that still need to be won, especially when facing the Derby match this weekend even though the victory in the UEL has brought Manchester United's position to the top seven in the UEL standings this season.

.When Onana often makes fatal mistakes but still becomes the main goalkeeper of manchester united at this time, can you imagine how bad the quality and standard of backup goalkeepers owned by manchester united when the clown can become the main goalkeeper? Grin

Onana played terrible in this match and he shown that his passing skills are not better than David De Gea. As a replacement for David De Gea, Onana is a failed choice from Manchester United, because he has worse saving skills and in passing skills, not actually better than De Gea.

Luckily for Onana, in this match, attacking players managed to score two goals and saved him from this possible nightmare. Manchester United generally did not play well in this match and only can win it with a very late goal from Hojlund but before that winning goal, they wasted many good opportunities.

With the kind of poor defending you get to see at United, if you're not careful in terms of the kind of goalie that you're bringing inplace of onana, you will only succeed in creating one of the most porous team ever that will be bad all round. It's not like trying out a second keeper sometimes won't work but for most instances, the confidence and experience needed from them might be lacking.
Manchester United have poor defense but Onana is only one piece of their defense system. He plays bad in many matches but if a goalkeeper has to face with too many shots from opponents, there are bigger problems from midfielders to defenders who failed to prevent and reduce attacking pressure and dangerous chances from opponents.

Manchester United will have to replace Onana with a better goalkeeper as well as finding better defenders for their squad in summer transfer window.

even with all the mistakes Onana is making, he's still one of the best goal keeper that has faced the highest numbers of shots and yet had incredible saves through them all. Onana is very confident on the ball and that has a way of getting at him sometimes and can make him  make those mistakes which has reduced overtime. If you're complaining of Onana's mistakes which is a product of him being overconfident in the ball, what would you say about about Sanchez that gets confused almost Everytime hr is to serve the ball? Doesn't that affect the team and yet the players still find ways of covering up for his mistakes?

With the kind of poor defending you get to see at United, if you're not careful in terms of the kind of goalie that you're bringing inplace of onana, you will only succeed in creating one of the most porous team ever that will be bad all round.

Galatasaray is in sixth place in the Europa League points table. Galatasaray had a big chance to grab the third place in the table. But Galatasaray could not win against Malmo in the last match. The team drew 2-2 in the match. Galatasaray is now in sixth place. However, I do not think it will be a difficult task for this team to be in the top 8. Because Galatasaray has lost points in three matches in this Europa League but has not lost a single match yet.

The draw against Malmo was an unexpected result for Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray will play against Dynamo Kyiv and Ajax in the next two matches of the Europa League. Galatasaray can easily get 3 points against Dynamo Kyiv. However, it is very difficult to get 3 points against Ajax.

The victory over Plazen shows that there is still a lot of homework to be done by amorim at the moment, although on paper they are superior to plazen but instead plazen was able to make them have to work hard in the match to win, lucky for manchester united if in the match against plazen hojlund can perform optimally and make them comeback in the match after onana ridiculous blunder , the derby match will be an opportunity for amorim to get 3 points because currently manchester city is slumping, but even so of course the match later will run tight for both teams considering the rivalry that has occurred so far.

Slowly Manchester United has indeed made a little progress, but this does not provide certainty, because the opponents they face are not that strong so that victory should be much easier. In fact, even though Manchester United dominated the course of the match, they found it quite difficult to get momentum to score goals and even in the match they conceded first. There are many things that may need to be evaluated and some of the players that Manchester United currently have do not understand Amorim's strategy well.

The win in that match paved the way for them to continue fighting in the Europa League and for the future they can focus more on facing Manchester City in the Premier League. Derb will be an important match for Amorim and he must be able to win the match if he wants to make the team stronger and more solid.

The next match will be held tonight, there are a total of 17 matches that will be played simultaneously, I decided to bet on only 3 matches, namely Roma, Manchester United and Porto with odds @3.47.

3 teams of your choice of bets are quite interesting even though the odds are only 3.47 but the three teams have a large percentage to win the match especially the two of them are playing at home and only Manchester United is playing away but and I think only in the Man United match is a little risky because Viktoria Plzeň is a team that has a good record so far when playing at home so it will make Man United difficult especially Man United is not in its best form at this time.

For Roma and Porto I have no doubt that they will be able to win the match easily because the opponents they will face are not that difficult and in terms of strength Roma and Porto are still better, those who play at home of course have much greater motivation to win the match.
I was also initially hesitant to bet on Manchester United's victory because I was worried that it would destroy my bet but it turned out that Man United performed well last night and won the match with a narrow score of 2:1 this victory immediately brought Man United to the top 8 if in the next 2 matches they are able to optimize their performance again it is not impossible that they will safely through to the next round. And for Porto and Roma they also both won their respective matches they performed well and won without conceding a goal.
