⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Odusko]

I think Jose Mourinho could be a good option. Maybe they could try to bring him in. He has the tactics and the know-how to pull Manchester United together. Of course, there are other options. The first name that comes to mind is Mourinho.

I don't think bringing him back is a good idea. While United won something when he was in charge, I don't think he can control the dressing room and fails to deliver anything like before. I'm not sure he can bring revolutionary tactics that utilize all of United's existing players either. Is there any reason why you think he will suit United after they sack ETH?

I mean, he got sacked from many clubs already. I don't think Mourinho is the right man considering how bad United's situation is. Okay, I might exaggerate that a little bit but you get my point.

Bringing Jose Mourinho back is never an option, it can option but not Manchester United's current situation, to me he cannot not handle the current situation and will end up been the reason for some of the players to leave. Mourinho is good coach in his era, but in this modern football, Manchester United need a coach that can think vast to solve problem quickly within a match not after the game, and many of these modern coaches believe in young talented players to make their teams great, while old modern coaches will only use already made players to win titles.

However, I think the Manchester United management after their meeting yesterday decided to keep Ten Hag for the meantime, but I don't think he will continue with the team next season if he didn't improve the team's performance. Manchester United management might be considering that there is no any reputable manager out there to take over, and maybe they will keep him until they have a perfect replacement.

There's a funny news where Ronaldo is asking Al Nassr to give an offer that can't be refused to De Bruyne. It's surprising that Ronaldo really want him because they both haven't played in the same team before, usually players are looking to bring their friends with good quality instead of new players that they haven't know each other.

It's hard to believe De Bruyne will move to Al Nassr in the next year, he can still play in top 5 leagues.

There's nothing surprising here. Ronaldo needs someone to feed him beautiful passes. De Bruyne is the right person to do that. He knows De Bruyne's contract with Manchester City is ending soon. So, he wants Al Nassr to approach De Bruyne to join his club.

I think nothing is impossible for De Bruyne to join Al Nassr. He announced his interest in playing in the Saudi Pro League last months. It may happen if Al Nassr offers him a lucrative salary and contract. He knows his career in the PL is almost coming to an end considering he's 33 years old.

The story of De Bruyne going to the Saudi Pro League will come true soon.

I don't expect De Bruyne to end his career so soon. Ronaldo has accomplished a lot before he moved to AL Nassir, while De Bruyne still a lot to accomplish in the Premier League. Ronaldo is only playing in AL Nassir for some time he will retire. Apart from getting paid handsomely there is no big deal going to AL Nassir. In my opinion i will say De Bruyne should reject the offer even if he is giving higher pay. Although i don't know his intention, if he wants more money or want more records added to his career. Don't forget that he is the highest paid Premier League player.

Since Ronaldo think everything is all about money then he should state the amount that he feels will be a good and better offer to De Bruyne.

Don't you think you are too harsh on Thomas Tuchel? What are the parameters you are using to measure a successful coach? The German won UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super and FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea and the club was sixth in the EPL when he was sacked. In Bayern Munich, he won the Bundesliga and helped the club to qualify for the UCL in the next season after finishing second.

Jose Mourinho shouldn't be the best option because he once coached Manchester United and things didn't go well. The Special One has a good history of winning trophies, but if you want to consider the recent quality of both coaches, Tuchel will be my best bet.

Tuchel will definitely be a better option than Mourinho, or any other coach who has tried to coach Manchester United before. I mean, I recently saw that Solskjaer was not against returning to Manchester United, I don’t understand why we should consider obviously losing options, if Mourinho or Solskjaer couldn’t achieve any significant progress for the team before, then what should change now? Solskjaer, in my opinion, hasn’t coached any team after Manchester United, that is, since 2021 he has no experience. Tuchel, in my opinion, will be the best coach available now.

Yes, the most suitable person at the moment is said to be Thomas Tuchel. The 51-year-old coach's class is beyond dispute, At the same time, he also has extensive experience at big clubs, from Dortmund, and PSG to Chelsea and Bayern. Tuchel's advantage over other candidates is that he is idle. Since leaving Bayern, the German coach has been unemployed, waiting for a serious invitation. I believe the MU Restoration Project might interest him.

In my personal opinion, I want former Barcelona coach Xavi to succeed Ten Hag. What do you think about this idea? As one of Pep Guardiola's outstanding students, Xavi also showed that he is suitable for the job of developing projects and young talents of MU - something he wants to do.

The story of De Bruyne going to the Saudi Pro League will come true soon.

Speculation over De Bruyne future continues as his contract expires in June 2025. Ronaldo tried to persuade De Bruyne to join Al Nassr because he was considered able to provide him with assists to make it easier for him to score goals. It is very realistic in my opinion, because Ronaldo is trying to become the world's top scorer.
De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in Premier League history, of course Man City will not let one of their best players go just like that. Management will try everything to get the player to extend his service period, reportedly the player will also sign a new contract at Manc City.

Speculation about de Bruyne future continues to circulate at the moment even before the transfer window opens, with no yet new contract extension from Manchester City at the moment certainly allowing every team to start being linked with him, previously in last summer transfer window, de Bruyne had said if there was an offer from the Saudis coming and he still couldn't make a decision because he was still under contract with Manchester City, in fact, he mentioned that the salary offer two season he will get in Arabia is almost equivalent to 15 seasons he played for Manchester City, so I think he also has a strong desire to play in Arabia but so far this desire is still hindered by his status as a Manchester City player, his contract with Manchester City will expire in June 2025 and if it is true Ronaldo urges the Al Nassr to recruit De Bruyne of course it is very likely that De Bruyne will be Al Nassr main target in the transfer market later, Previously, Ronaldo have Ozil who continued to give him a  very good assist to score goals in madrid, so if De Bruyne played at Al Nassr then he would back Ronaldo with assists that made it easier for him to score.

Solskjaer, in my opinion, hasn’t coached any team after Manchester United, that is, since 2021 he has no experience. Tuchel, in my opinion, will be the best coach available now.

Rumors about Tuchel are also widely written in the local media. I think of the many rumors of prospective coaches that exist, of course I think Tuchel has the most experience. I think Tuchel is pretty good. But indeed Tuchel also does not have a great achievement that can be the same as Pep for the EPL. But inheriting the players that Ten Hag currently has is also quite difficult to see directly the impact of the change. It seems that if Tuchel is indeed Ten Hag replacement, the club must dare to provide transfer facilities for January.

It will not be easy to fix Manchester United which is already in disarray like this, even though Thomas Tuchel will be appointed to replace Erik Ten Hag, then I doubt he will be able to bring Manchester United quickly to good performance in his first season. But there is still hope than now they have no hope when handled by Erik Ten Hag.
But the problem I think is whether Manchester United's main problem is in management? because if the problem is in management, no matter how many times they change coaches, the results are the same. I mean too much management interference in the coaching chair is also not good, because management should only provide certain facilities and targets, after that they must hand everything over to the coach.

I don't think that Tuchel is the right coach to bring in because last season that he was in Bayern, he had all the professional players to himself, but he was unable to win the league. You should know that Manchester United is a team that is facing a lot of challenges with some average players, which will make it more difficult for Tuchel to bring the club into the limelight.

Xavi is a good coach and a very young one, I will concur that he can improve the club with his professional skills. However, Manchester management should move fast and look for a better coach before the season ends so that there will be no excuse that there is no good coach available better than Ten Hag because that will be a silly excuse.

Real Madrid is still after Trent as it seems. Because there is still no extension made by Liverpool and in January there are going to be 6 months left.

In this situation Real Madrid can really push the button for this signing. They have been rumoured with him for a long time if you remember. Finally it might happen for real.

I don't like Trent in defense. But he is really great in offense.    But I wonder if Real Madrid cares about this or not. Because Carvajal is impressive in both fields. If they intend to fill his place then they should be sure of what they are looking for.

Trent will likely extend his contract at Liverpool before it expires. He is not intending to leave Liverpool, though, he has 6 months left on his contract. It's very easy for his club, Liverpool, to hand him a new contract caused by he has showed his interest to stay.

Also, Real Madrid is not signing a new player during the winter transfer season. There is no use for us to panic-buy a new RB in January, unless we are getting a top-quality player.

We have Vázquez to replace Carvajal. Also, Militao and Valverde can play RB if needed.

I mean too much management interference in the coaching chair is also not good, because management should only provide certain facilities and targets, after that they must hand everything over to the coach.

The primary issue with Manchester United appears to be the coach if he is dismissed and replaced, it is likely that the team's problems will be resolved. Erik tag hag didn't get the chance to build Manchester United anymore like last first season in the club, and if they didn't take this action serious by changing the coach, i don't think Manchester United will be out from the stress and difficulties for scoring goals in the team. There match against Aston Villa I didn't expect Manchester United can get the opportunity of drawing the game, all my expectations they will defeat Erik Ten Hag. and if he lost the game am sure they will started talking about is sacking in the club. Erik always get a chance to succeed if they want to remove him, he will start doing well even last season if not, he have the opportunity to defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup, I believe they are talking about sacking him, and he will not complete the season with them. He will do all in his power to win their next game against Brentford, while Chelsea, who I believe will struggle, are doing well currently in the league the players they bought are in good form.

I agree with Trent, but rest I am not sure. Salah is getting older and I feel like he is getting spoiled too, he is marvellous even right now, but what would he become at the end of his contract if you extend? He will be old and he will be asking for so much, not just financially but also he doesn't look like he listens anymore and thinks he knows the best.

Van Dijk was a great defender and still currently a great one, but he is losing speed, and the more a defender loses their speed, the worse they become because strikers and wingers are very fast in modern world, long gone the times of Puyol type of slow defenders, these days defenders has to be as fast as offensive players in order to catch up, and Van Dijk started to lose it, some more time and he will certainly be too slow to be good eventually, he will be smart and talented, but that may not be enough.

Trent is the only one that makes sense because he is both talented but also a great age for them to sell later on if they want to, Real Madrid is famously interested for example.

I am concerned Trent will leave, he is close to Bellingham off the pitch, I hope that doesn’t have a factor here.

I see that Real have supposedly made William Saliba their top target next summer.

It’s obvious from this statement from Fabrizio Romano that he wanted to play in Saudi Arabia for money. I think it is time for him to make the move because he do always get injured in the Premier League, and I don’t think he will make a move to any team around Europe if he decides to leave Manchester City maybe during the January transfer window or after the end of this season.

Manchester City looks like a team that will soon lose some valuable players, earlier I see a news that one of their managers will be leaving and with this case of plenty charges on the team, I think even Pep Guardiola will leave the team if they get penalized for the charges, and most of their quality players will not stay despite the money because they are after game which they are already getting in the Premier League at Manchester City.

As someone who has some connections to Manchester United and English football, I am already sad getting to know that Tuchel is linked to Manchester United. I just pray this is a fake news because I can't bear it. There's obviously no much difference between ETH and Tuchel. I am sorry to say this, I do not regard Tuchel as a top class coach at all. If Manchester United is to accept to pay compensation, they should go for a complete coach and manager in one person and not a one season coach.

Manchester United should first sack Erik Ten Hang, then temporarily hire Carrick and have time to hire a new and good coach.

Tuchel is a failed manager at Chelsea and Bayern. I think it would be wrong to bring him in. When Erik Ten Hag leaves the team, the coach who will replace him needs to be experienced. I think Jose Mourinho could be a good option. Maybe they could try to bring him in. He has the tactics and the know-how to pull Manchester United together. Of course, there are other options. The first name that comes to mind is Mourinho.

Bringing Jose Mourinho back to Manchester united would not be a long term solution to the issues surrounding the club at the moment, moreover he was once brought in to help the club navigate out of troubled waters but couldn't give much in terms of results which was why he had to be replaced by another coach later on.

I would rather suggest that the management should as a matter of urgency bring in someone who has the ability of handling internal crisis within the team, a coach that is player friendly and knows how to relate with players on a personal and professional level and not one that would always fall out with players and not reconcile with the player and would rather want the player to leave the club than work with that player, for me,Thomas Tuchel and Zinedine Zidane are the best shot that Manchester united has at the moment if they really want to compete.

I saw when Erik Ten Hang was making a statement concerning the present performance of the club and he said, Manchester United will still bounced back again and play the final of the season and some commentators were saying that this is not the best time to change Erik Ten Hang. Well let us wait and see what will happen at the end of the season. If they will rise again or not. Erik Ten Hang was a good coach and he done well in the team.

Manchester United management might be considering that there is no any reputable manager out there to take over, and maybe they will keep him until they have a perfect replacement.

Jose Mourinho would not even want a second trial at Manchester United. The only club Mourinho has coached twice is Chelsea. I believe he returned to Chelsea because he loved the club, I can’t say Mourinho has the same relationship with Manchester United. In my opinion Mourinho is the best manager Manchester United has had post Sir Alex Ferguson. Mourinho could have done a lot with United if the club had given him the players he wanted and the kind of support they are giving Erik Ten Hag.
