I think it is time for the club management to sack Ten Hag after he got the chance but he still failed to meet the expectations of the board. The draw against a mediocre team is quite disappointing for the fans even though Manchester United is also considered a mediocre team at the moment. They are ranked 21st in the UEL standings and that is not a good result as they could fail to qualify for the next round. I hope the club management can find a replacement for Ten Hag. So far it seems that Nistelrooy will take over the coaching seat. United draw against teams like Twente or Fenerbahce then they will have a hard time if they meet stronger teams like Lazio, Tottenham or Lyon.

There are so many shortcomings of Manchester United this season that they cannot play optimally like other top clubs, against clubs like Fenerbahce, Porto and Twente Man United were completely unable to conquer them even though they each got 1 point but that was a bad result for a top club, but after the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag hopefully it will bring a better change and Man United can improve their performance again before being eliminated in the Europa League this season.

but after the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag hopefully it will bring a better change and Man United can improve their performance again before being eliminated in the Europa League this season.

There is nothing special for Manchester United this season and they are still having difficulty showing major changes even though they got several players in the previous transfer market. After experiencing a draw in the Europa League, Manchester United lost again in the Premier League and this made things worse. Fenerbahce is much better because if you look at the quality of the players, the average is below Manchester United players and Manchester United should be much easier to beat them.

Xabi Alonso received several lucrative offers during the summer but he declined them to remain at Bayer Leverkusen and I don't think he'll be making a switch to Manchester United now so if Manchester United should finally decide to sack Erik ten Hag anytime soon, then I think former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez will be the available option. Xavi in his time at Barcelona really had a impressive spell as he helped them win the Spanish La Liga title in his first full season at the club. I think he'll help improve the performance of Manchester United if he gets the chance to manage the Red Devils but we must wait for the club's management to make their final decision on who to replace Erik ten Hag should they sack him

Who knows if things will begin to turn around for Manchester United now that Ten Hag have been sacked and Ruud van Nistelrooy is now in charge of the team as the intrim coach. Ten Hag has brought down the club performance to a very low level, which is why they are finding it difficult to have two straight consecutive wins. I don't think that there's any hope for United of qualifying to the round of 16, because Ruud van Nistelrooy will need to understand the players capabilities, and blend them into his own game pattern, which might be a big challenge for him.

I think I'm really starting to like the new system . Although it felt strange at first, having each team play against seven different teams has made team choices more fun and has also made it easier for surprise teams to advance to the next rounds. Even though three matches have been played, we still can't say for sure that any team will 'definitely qualify' or 'definitely be eliminated.' This makes both watching the games and betting more enjoyable.

When we look at the current standings, we get an idea of the top 8, but it will probably change completely after the next 5 matches. The last game of the group stage will be played at the end of January, and I’d like to leave a prediction (or maybe just a note) for that time already.



When we take a look at the current standings, I think a few of these teams are only here temporarily. Lazio, Tottenham, Ajax, and Galatasaray are teams that are here now and that I believe will still be here when the group stage ends. Outside of this list;



Actually, I don't have a thought like 'this team will probably finish in the top 8' about any team. But that’s what makes this system great. I remember making a ranking prediction for each group in the old system, and two of my group predictions ended up exactly as I guessed. Right now, I think making predictions would require a very deep analysis. Do you have a top 8?

This is precisely the 3rd time they have drawn in the Europa League this season from the 3 matches they have played, it is a very unsatisfactory record achieved by Manchester United. Honestly, I am confused to say whether in this match Manchester United played well so they could hold Fenerbahce to a draw, or Fenerbahce played well so they were able to hold Manchester United to a draw. Because from the beginning, in fact, in the match there were big questions about Manchester United's performance, even though they have a bigger name than Fenerbahce, but in terms of their game they were not that good.

Xabi success with Leverkusen made his name and career stand out as one of the best young coach, there are indeed many rumors related to the interest of several big team to be able to bring in Xabi but there will be lot of competition if Manchester United also has the interest, they must provide an attractive offer and must be able to convince Xabi and this is not easy.
We just see how it goes after this season is over and if Ten Hag is really fired who will replace him, whether they succeed in bringing in Xabi or not, what is clear is that I not sure about this.

Xabi Alonso is currently one of the most hunted coaches for great teams of Europe and I'm sure United would love to have him but he is also linked with City in case that Guardiola will leave to pursue his dream of training a national team for 2026 world cup and beyond.

At this point its kinda clear that United needs a new coach because even in premier league they are not doing great at all and year after year we see the same poor United ...having great players but cannot make great performances.

Xabi or Xavi? 
I don't see any reason Man United can sign Xabi. Xabi has a contract with Leverkusen until the end of the season. If Man United want to sack Ten Hag soon and replace him with a new coach, Xavi is a more reasonable option. Although Xavi doesn't stay a long time in Barcelona, he could build Barcelona with many talents. He left Barcelona after Barcelona has many talented players. If Man United board want to have a long term project with Man United squad, Xavi is the right coach. Xavi knows well how to build a squad from the scratch. Xavi also has a very tactical person, he knows it because he was the player who became the mastermind of Barcelona attacking. I'm actually very enthusiastic if Man United wants to replace Ten Hag with Xavi. It seems the opportunity of Ten Hag in Man United is over already.

Recently I saw in a new that Manchester United is linked with some xabi deals but I have not confirmed it just yet but I'm hoping it's true, currently I believe he will be a good replacement for Manchester United seeing how well he did managed Barcelona throughout his stay at Barca, Manchester United have not showed signs of sacking their coach just yet so I cannot tell the explanation behind rhe recent coach scout, maybe he will be sacked by the end of the season if they eventually get a better replacement by then. It's funny how some persons away from the management still see him as a good coach but still needs time.

The match ended in a draw where Manchester United were unable to dominate the game because Fenerbahçe played very solidly and were able to match Manchester United. This is the second time Manchester United have drawn in the Europa League and previously they were also held to a draw by Porto. I think Manchester United’s condition now is not good because it looks like the form of play they are showing is not consistent. The next two games in the Europa League will be much easier and it should be an opportunity for Manchester United to get full points.

Maybe that wouldn't be a problem if Erik Ten Hag just came out and said this wasn't the result they were hoping for and they would train extra hard to get better results in the remainder of the games.

But, what did he do? He came out and said "we got 2 points out of porto and fenerbahce" as in that was an achievement for them, dude is not only a bad coach, but he is also diminishing the value of Manchester United, made that team into something in his brain where it would be a good thing for them to get 2 points out of porto and fenerbahce, when in reality United should be a team that is looking for only 6 points and nothing else is acceptable, they are giants of world of football, even on their this terrible period, they are still one of the most talked about teams in the world and they are still doing terrible.

I believe he is bad for the culture as well, he is literally causing the team to be seen as a small team at this point, he is trying to make sure everyone has low expectations from them.
