Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Sirait]

But Ronaldo has been very clear with his desire to play in Champions League, and I doubt he will be happy playing with United now, and not only that I believe Ronaldo also not happy with the current squad of United, if he stay it's more likely that he will be just like Lukaku on chelsea last season.

Never mind, we can stop speculating about Ronaldo. Manchester United have closed the sale for Ronaldo at least until the end of this season. Ten Haag made Ronaldo an important part of his strategy, he decided to keep Ronaldo this season. Despite reports of Ronaldo missing training and other rumors, it ljust to makes news interesting to read/watch, now we're done speculating. Ronaldo will stay with United it's the last decision so far. congrats MU fans.

I agree with you, all speculation about Cristiano should be stopped. apart from that Cristiano must also be aware that he is not young anymore, he should know that there are not many big clubs interested in his services. maybe this season MU is not competing in the UCL but there is still another season that surely MU must try to be able to play in it. Ten Hag played a big part in persuading Cristiano to stay.

True, it seems that this will be the end of Ronaldo's speculation because management and coaching have agreed that indeed he will not be sold now and will still be wearing a Manchester United shirt for next season.
I think this is a pretty good choice for United because indeed they also clearly need Ronaldo at the moment and it looks like Ten Hag is now starting to use Ronaldo to make United stronger in attack.
On the other hand, with this they don't have to bother looking for a striker and focus more on their defense.

Manchester United know that they have advantage to keep Ronaldo in Old Trafford.

Bayern officially said that they don't need Ronaldo. Their priority is to convince Lewandowski to stay and even if they fail, they already signed with Mane from Liverpool.
Barcelona has more interest in Lewandowski and they don't want to hunt for both Lewandowski and Ronaldo because they know Lewandowski is a better choice, younger and will be able to play more seasons, score more goals for them if he comes. They don't want to make Lewandowski disappointed if they also contact with Ronaldo.
Chelsea, Tuchel does not want to change his tactics only to serve another striker. In the past season, Tuchel was not happy with Lukaku.
PSG wants to sign with Scamaca from Sassuolo, not with Ronaldo.

In fact, choices for Ronaldo is not too big.

Even though a lot of people have been talking about Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave Manchester United, I have not heard too many teams are really interested in signing him. It is possible that Chelsea was the most interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, but as of right now, I don't think that is the case. Obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo is a world-class player but because of his last season at Manchester United, not too many teams are keen on bringing Cristiano Ronaldo into the team. Right now I think it will be better if he stays at Manchester United.

[ShowOff]

Yes, Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United because he wants to play in the Champions League but because he is still having a one-year contract left he can not leave unless the club decides to sell him to another club. Seeing that the club that is very ready to sign Ronaldo is Chelsea football club, that alone will stop Manchester United club not to sell him to even to their own rivals Chelsea.

I don't see anything wrong if Ronaldo stays at Manchester United till next year when his contract will expire and he will be happy knowing that the club supported him when he wasn't very good till he became very dangerous on the pitch, he will also be happy to help the team return back to the top four in the EPL.

As you said, it is true that Manchester United don't want to sell Ronaldo mainly because he is an important player to keep. Ronaldo told Manchester United management to be sold because he felt Manchester United were too slow in the transfer process so far. I wouldn't be completely sure it's just because he wants to play in the Champions League, but there's another problem that makes Ronaldo want to leave Manchester United and that's because Manchester haven't had good maneuvers in the transfer window so far.

[LGD2Business]

Ten Hag says Ronaldo is not for sale, but it's clear that Ronaldo doesn't want to stay with the team. As he comes to the end of his career, he doesn't want to spend a season without playing the Champions League, and he is right. Although Ronaldo wants to play for 2-3 more seasons, his body will not be able to show its former strength as he ages. Maybe this is his last year to perform at a high level, so everyone should consider it normal that he wants to leave.

[doomloop]

As there is a possibility for Chelsea to make a move for Nathan Ake Manchester City have already started to look for a defender to bring into his place. However there are a few more defenders under Chelsea' radar now. Maybe it isn't going to be Ake as a result. We haven't heard about Kounde transfer for a long time but they are still thinking of signing de Ligt. If they lose him to Bayern Munich then their first choice would be Ake I think. Honestly Ake would also be a good choice for them.

Right now Chelsea is working on their defense which is very good because now they are one of the toughest team in Premier League, and they surely need good defender for this they are working on few options which are going to be good for them in coming days.

Like Nathan Ake and few more good defenders are under their radar hopefully they will bring someone as soon as possible de Ligt and one more from Italy all in process, but now they are working strongly on Nathan Ake if they are able to bring him then surely it's going to be good for them after having Raheem Sterling from Manchester City this second transfer will give them good boost.

Is quite obvious that Ronaldo is not really interested in playing the Europa League next season. He among the world best players, and he probably want to participate in the upcoming Champion League competition. While, United ended last season at the 6th place on the standings, and couldn't make it to the top 4. But, they don't seem ready to sign Ronaldo out. Erik ten Hag reveals that Ronaldo is basically not for sale. Although, other big teams such as Chelsea will be willing to buy him. However, Manchester United who failed to extend Pogba's contract, and lost him to Juventus can't afford to also lost Ronaldo. Nevertheless, I believe the club will do anything within their capacity to ensure he stays.

It would be very unprofessional if he did not play seriously when he was at a club and was not happy with the decisions that had been made.
I think that even if Ronaldo wants to leave and wants to keep his ambition alive, he will definitely respect any decisions that are made and will remain professional with them.
He will still play in a competition that is still relatively big even though it is not the Champions League.

I think Ronaldo should stay with Manchester United. United management is trying to make their squad stronger. If Ronaldo performs well with United, maybe they will be able to win the Premier League title. At the same time, Ronaldo could help Manchester United win the Europa League title. Now joining a new team, it will not be easy for Ronaldo to adapt to the new team.

It was a surprise to read that Harry Maguire will remain Manchester United's captain next season, as confirmed by Erik ten Hag. Whether the team is ready for his captaincy will be interesting to see. We continue to support the captain fully and will give him our full attention. At United before, he couldn't succeed because of a policy, but under Erik Ten, he'll be succeeded. To inspire him, all he needs is a reasonable and sensible coach. Let's wait and see how things turn out.

Maybe Erik ten Hag sees that Maguire has the potential to be even better but unfortunately, maybe Erik ten Hag's views with the other players in the squad have differences. But yes, after all, the decision must be respected, because with mutual support it will make the team grow more solid. Erik ten Hag has become a coach who has become a hope for Manchester United and hopefully the results are as expected, because if the results are far from what was expected then it is very easy for Manchester United to continue to change coaches.

Maguire had a very bad season, Manchester United squad were not at their best last season and it was clear on Maguire performance. It could be Erik Ten Hag doesn’t see Harry Maguire as a bad player after all. Maguire’s been suppressed by the pressure of the team not being in good form and as the captain it is normal to feel the pressure on you. It really not easy having everyone turning to you when things go bad, that is a lot of pressure but hopefully Erik Ten Hag will revive the team and we will see Harry Maguire play better next season.

Yeah United and ten Hag wants to keep him but he is not convinced with the squad right now. Well they are trying to find some signings but they always waste time doing negotiations like they are doing right now. I don't know why but I have the feeling that he is gonna stay but yeah no CL for Ronaldo this season is also one thing.

The thing why I don't find this normal is because its only been one year at club and he is leaving. The amount of work that was put up to bring Ronaldo has just become waste. He accepted United knowing the fact they needed him and now he is just turning his back from the situation after one year.

The defensive lineup of Chelsea is not the most impressive, and I expect them to make a move for Nathan Aké. But as far as I hear, Manchester City is deliberately delaying the move. Probably that's because they want to have a player ready in his place. I don't think Manchester City is planning to be very interested in de Ligt, because already Bayern Munich is offering Juventus almost 90 million Euros for this player and Juventus still is not selling the player. Due to this delay, Chelsea will likely be able to consider other options as well.

The situation with Christiano Ronaldo wanting to leave are rumours, there is no official release from Ronaldo or his team about his next move. What Ronaldo wants from the club is for the club to bring in talented players this transfer window to strengthen the squad. He wants to compete at top level and win trophies, he made this clear from the start. Erik Ten Hag made a statement to say he had a conversation with Ronaldo and he never said he was leaving so that should be enough to put an end to the speculations.

Yes, these are all rumors circulating on social media. However, the rumors were getting stronger when Fabrizio Romano tweeted about Ronaldo wanting to leave in the transfer market this summer, especially when there was news about the meeting of the Chelsea owner with agent ronaldo so that this news was getting hot on social media.

from Fabrizio Romano recent tweet today where Erik has spoken to Ronaldo so far and Ronaldo has never said he wants to leave this summer. So it has been proven that Ronaldo will stay for next season with Manchester United and cancel his intention to play in the Champions League next season with other clubs.

[emrecemsan]

It looks like Chelsea are after Ronaldo and Lewandowski both now but they must be intending to sign one of them now. Honestly my choice would absolutely be Lewandowski if I can buy him. But it seems like a more difficult deal as Barcelona and PSG also seem to be in this race for him. When it comes to Ronaldo his current wage is pretty huge and I would hesitate to buy him at this point. He had a good season the last time in the Premier League but there is a risk that he might not adapt to Chelsea too.

[zuzie]

I think Ronaldo should stay with Manchester United. United management is trying to make their squad stronger. If Ronaldo performs well with United, maybe they will be able to win the Premier League title. At the same time, Ronaldo could help Manchester United win the Europa League title. Now joining a new team, it will not be easy for Ronaldo to adapt to the new team.

They have tried this season but failed, I see weakness in United's midfield, even in the previous few matchs they looked difficult to build up attack, with a 4-2-3-1 formation they need to be more active in building attacks. So I think if Manchester United are after the EPL title they need to overhaul the midfielders because this season the Premier League will certainly have a tougher competition than before.

CR7 declared his intentions to leave ManU. He didn't join the preseason tour which can be explained by a familial situation he got as it can be considered as an indirect message to the staff.
Ten Hag announcement was the direct one, when he said that he had discussion with CR7 and he didn't talk about his intentions to leave..
I would say nothing is clear with CR7 but I won't be surprised when I see him playing under another club next season.

[SatoPrincess]

I don't know how but Chelsea are still going for Lewandowski to sign. Because while there are Barcelona (especially) and PSG wishing to sign him also Chelsea don't have a huge chance to sign him. Chelsea must be feeling confident because they have no problem with money for now. However it is the same for PSG too and I'm pretty sure that Barcelona have allocated the money needed to sign him already. Bayern Munich are just turning down the offers one by one for now.

Bayern Munich will want to sell for the right price. Tuchel wants a striker, Chelsea have been searching for a striker this summer and we have heard names like Christiano Ronaldo and now Lewandowski who also have been linked to Barcelona fc. At the moment there is still no progress with Lewandowski to Barcelona deal and it looks like Barcelona have given up. If Chelsea can get Lewandowski to join them, Chelsea will be a very tough side to beat with Raheem Sterling also in the squad.

So I think if Manchester United are after the EPL title they need to overhaul the midfielders because this season the Premier League will certainly have a tougher competition than before.

Ten Hag's favorite formation is 4-3-3 because he wants to make the players he coaches more active in any situation (attack and defend with the ball or without the ball). for United's midfield, I'm quite satisfied, it's just that what I'm worried about is the MU back line, the ten hag strategy to improve this (whether he succeeds or not) will be seen when United starts pre-season training soon.

[Pulsar77]

After Arsenal's interest started for N'Golo Kante, I see that Manchester United have also decided to intervene. Kante is one of the best midfielders of the Premier League now. Aging doesn't change much for him for now. Chelsea wouldn't like to lose a player like him because this would cause them to be weakened in defense more. By the way I understand Manchester United's interest too as they are already after Frenkie de Jong too. They must be aiming to sign one of these players for sure.
