It is always said that it begins towards a resurgence for United every time a new coach comes in. When Erik ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford, there was a great deal of optimism for major change. He had just come from a successful stint in the Eredivisie with Ajax, and this also includes an impressive record in the Champions League. He was perceived as that individual who could bring back those old glory days for United. The first season seemed to be a building one towards success, especially after winning the Carabao Cup.

However, the reality of the Premier League is more complicated. High expectations are often met with inconsistent teams, the challenge of building a winning mentality and the pressure to produce trophies immediately.

The arrival of Ruben Amorim at United now also brings new expectations. While major changes will not happen overnight, there is an opportunity for Amorim to capitalize on the existing squad and build a stronger foundation.

Amorim will try to stabilize this squad. And if Amorim can make positive changes then Manchester United will definitely provide big funds to Amorim to buy players. However, if Amorim fails to stabilize the team then I don't think Manchester United will invest money on Amorim.

Manchester United's performance in the Europa League is also quite weak. Manchester United has won only one of the four matches in the Europa League. United has shared points in all three matches. Manchester United is in 15th position in the points table. Manchester United will play against Bodo/Glimt in the next match of the Europa League. Manchester United will have to earn 3 points in this match.

I think the January transfer window will be a great opportunity for the Manchester United coach to bring in few players that will help to solidify his team because having some stars in the team that are not ready to improve in their game play means nothing to the team and I don't think the team can go far to challenge any good team when they meet in the Europa League competition. You think Amorim will be happy with the performance of Manchester United yesterday in the English Premier League after playing a 1:1 draw against Ipswich Town I think the performance will make him to swing into action in bringing in some of his players into the team.

Yes, this is a key difference from the Champions League, this tournament is something similar to the cups of championships, whether it is the English Cup or any other, there too a team can win, which is not that they do not believe in initially, there can win a team from another division, much lower than their opponent. It is the same in the Europa League. It is particularly interesting now, because it would seem that the majority are on an equal footing with the new format

I intend to bet on the following game:

SS Lazio - PFC Ludogorets 1945 Razgrad

I see Lazio as having great potential to beat Ludogorets, as the current odds for this game are @1.27, I will add Lazio to my multi bet to see if I can get more decent odds and consequently a more decent profit. Lazio has great potential to go very far in this competition. I see Lazio and Galatasaray as two teams with good potential to become champions. I know that in this competition, there are teams like Tottenham and Manchester United, but this is a competition in which the champions tend to be small teams.


The fact is that Manchester United will need a lot of time to organize themselves and become strong, it will not be this season that they will become strong and achieve things.

There have been several arguments on what could be the problem of Manchester United with some saying is because injuries and lack of quality players and others arguing its the coach. Both sides in the argument seem to have valid reasons but if you ask me, I will say its a mixture of both because you need good players for a coach to win a match. If Manchester United bring new faces to the club by January, sure that will increase the internal  competition among the players for a spot at the first eleven. This way, the players will give their best and ensure the team wins as many matches as possible. I will encourage Amorim to make some new significant signings to change the face of the attack a little to see if there will be a difference.

If you want to favor a club in UEL then I think a club from La Liga is a better choice. We know Sevilla is the king of UEL with seven trophies. And usually UEL can give a surprise where the underdog team can beat the top team. But if you look at the UEL final match I think the team that wins UEL is still a team that is in the top 5 European leagues including the English league. I still favor several clubs that will be the UEL champion this season such as Lazio, Bilbao, Lyon, Ajax, Galatasaray or Tottenham. And I never think that underdog teams like Braga, Twente, Qarabag, or Slavia Praha can be champions.

That's right, and last season was a perfect example of how unpredictable the Europa League is. For the remaining 4 matches in the League phase, the fate of teams like Manchester United, AS Roma, Olympiakos, Porto and Fenerbahce will certainly be the main focus. These clubs are actually quite experienced in European competitions, but now they look quite struggling, although the chance to finish in the top 8 of the standings is still very open. In the Europa League, it is not surprising if the favorite team fails to win a trophy or even fails to reach the final. Liverpool failed to reach the final last season, then Leverkusen suffered their first defeat and let Atalanta win the trophy, it could happen again this season.

The Europa League always gives surprises almost every season like that, if we look at the last few seasons even the teams that were favored from the start fell early. The most memorable in our memory right now is last season, who would have thought Atalanta would become champions after defeating the favorite team Liverpool and in the final they managed to defeat Leverkusen who had an unbeaten record but were finally broken by the team that was in fifth place in their league.

This season is like that, the teams that were good at the start and even favored are not necessarily able to survive until the final, especially with a tight schedule like this which will affect the fitness of the players. Only coaches who are good at rotating players and have the best strategy can become champions, even like Lazio right now with a team that managed to achieve perfect results and is at the top of the standings does not necessarily guarantee that they will reach the final. The Europa League always gives surprises and it is indeed difficult to predict all the teams from each league representative will definitely give their best.

since we are not done with this qualifying round, it will be very difficult to see the teams that will compete closely for the title. some of those who make predictions and speculate may be fans of the team. it is very reasonable I think to do so, especially if the team's performance is quite good.
we have just passed 4 matches in this qualifying round. maybe the results of the remaining matches will change our perspective on the team that will win the trophy.

I think Manchester United will definitely be making one or two signings during the January transfer window in other to help the club new manager Ruben Amorim balance the squad but even without the arrival of a new player, I think Manchester United team is star-studded already and can be able to challenge in the biggest competitions. Ruben Amorim have only overseen one game with the team while also trying to establish his own style and in coming games, I expect the Manchester United players to get familiar with the new manager's style so they can get back to winning ways

I agree with you that Europa League is unpredictable and one will hardly predict the right club to win the league. Most clubs that people thought will put their minds on, end up in a big disappointment. It's is close to the semifinals that one would be able to know the right club that's capable of winning the league.

I never expected the struggle to remain until this time because it has been long that Manchester United has been struggling even as they signed Moirinho. Although some coaches like Luis Van Gal, Jose Mourinho, David Moyes do tried their best for the team, but couldn’t meet the standard Ferguson set for the team, and I just hope Manchester United will get that standard because Manchester City had taken over Manchester in the past six seasons.

I don’t know why the team management believed in him so much, maybe it was because of his past record and performance when coaching Ajax, but in Manchester United, the only achievement was the two trophies he won for the team, but after that, he destroyed the team and make them a struggling side now in the Premier League.
I hope Amorim will do better in Manchester United because he was doing well in his former club, I am sure if he have enough time to settle down, he can do better for Manchester United.

You are right, but I don't think it's impossible. In the post Ferguson era, Manchester United has struggled with inconsistencies, fitness issues, and the lack of the winning mentality that once made them a dominate force in the Premier League. This decline has seen them lose their status and become a mid table club.

I personally think Manchester United would have picked up sooner if they had sacked Erik Ten Hag at the end of last season. ETH was a problem but Manchester United couldn’t see it until it was too late. Ruben Amorim had his first game in Manchester United yesterday, I think there is hope for Manchester United with Amorim as manager. It won't be an instant transformation but they will certainly be a big change in their performance.

Although Tottenham's recent performances have been impressive, including eliminating Manchester City in the EFL Cup and also defeating them in the English Premier League, it doesn't guarantee them any trophy this season. It takes more than just than just strong performance to secure silverware.

On the other hand, I believe Manchester United has what it takes to maintain a strong position in the UEFA Europa league this season, regardless of whether they are been coached by a new manager. Considering the technical ability of their coach and his proven track record at Sporting, he appears capable of leading them to success in the UEFA Europa league, no matter the challenges they face.

Maybe it's normal to do, but hopefully not like what Ten Hag did. having players come and go from a club when a new coach comes is normal. The list of players who will not be included in the coach's plans will certainly be set aside. And those who can attract the attention of the new coach will probably be kept in the team.
United has high hopes for Amorim, we can't comment too much on his first game with United. Every coach needs their time to build a solid team. But hopefully, it won't take long for Amorim.

Likewise, the match against Ipswich in the Premier League, Man United actually has a much more competitive depth. Well, as with the match against Bodo/Glimt, we cannot be sure that United will work much better. So we can see that it is not enough to just take a short time to bring United back to its highest level of play. In addition, Amorim is not like Nistelrooy who continues the system that Ten Hag previously implemented, although of course there are some changes implemented by Nistelrooy, whether it is strategy or something. Maybe if Amorim implemented the same system, United's players would only continue the gameplay like the previous coach. However, because he has different ideas and programs, Amorim tries to apply it to his team. In order to be able to run well according to Amorim's wishes, it seems that it takes time and also some changes, including rotating his players. Apart from Nistelrooy's role, as a head coach he seems to have his own way. Moreover, it is likely that both of them have different assessments, whether it is related to the system or strategy. Well, if we talk about the match against Bodo, the bookies are far favoring Manchester United even though they have not achieved an impressive game. Based on the betting exchange, United's odds have a very obvious gap compared to Bodo/Glimt, especially since Man United is playing at their home base, Old Trafford. It seems that this match is an exception, which means that United has a high probability of winning based on the betting exchange. Anyway, all of this is just my temporary assumption, we'll see later when this match is held.

Some times its not really easy working with players who they aren't really familiar with and that is why they sometimes do want to bring with them to their new team certain players as they know how much they can achieve with such a player at a time same was seen in Roma where lukaku had to leave with their coach and now Amorim wanting to leave with some of his top players at sporting who has been very familiar with and could give him the kind of delivery he wants at some point, it will be of great benefit for the team if they can get him the kind of players he's wanting already.

Usually clubs that are not too favored in the European League from the beginning are able to provide a surprise at the end, initially these clubs were not so glanced at in the European League and most people favored the Premier League clubs to win the UEL title but in fact the Premier League clubs are not as good as these clubs in the matches they have played so far, if we remember last season Liverpool was very favored to win the title in the UEL but they couldn't even survive until the final, and finally underdog club won the UEL title last season, in the UEL sometimes the winner is not the club that was favored from the beginning.

If you are a followers of  Tottenham Hotspur, you will know that they are doing well in many tournament in this season because they are in good position that is giving their fans joy that they will end this season well.

For Manchester united, I don't think they will have the chance to maintain a good position in this UEFA champions league table because their new coach have a lot of things to change from Manchester united before he can change Manchester united players positively. I know this condition will not remain forever because what Manchester united is passing through today many teams has went through it before they later got it right, which is the hope I have for Manchester united in the future because their new coach will prove to people that he can do it to revive the team back.
