Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[AakZaki]

So, Salah appears to be ready to burn down bridges with Liverpool. He said that if he doesn't renew with LFC, that he'd be looking for a new club in the PL next season when his contract expires.
~snip~

Salah's age is only 29 years old. It's appropriate that he wants to get something new from Liverpool including his contract. With his current contribution it is natural. A salary increase will probably hold him longer, and most importantly he won't leave on a free transfer that will hurt Liverpool. Klop will feel a headache if Salah leaves, it will add new problems. They just need to add new players.

This is the best time for Manchester United to make some amends that will help them perform better in the next season, the club need new player signings and transfers that will restructure the club for better position in the next season.

With the right management structure Manchester United will revive again since their under performed this season.

manchester united is a very slow club in the search for players, honestly I still can't understand what machester united want, so far I haven't read any news of them looking for big players. if they want to get serious about winning the premier league and champions league then they need to hire players like lewandowski, or else get two more high level attackers to make a trio with ronaldo, in defense they also need to hire good players and in midfield they also need a good player like N'Golo Kanté, they need to race against time. But it seems to me that at the end of the day we will see Manchester United with these same current players

It is extremely disappointing that every summer Manchester United are slow in the transfer window. Year after year, they seems not to have a working plan or strategy with whom they are going to target, they will later end up with signings that are not fit for the club. I was hoping with Erik Ten Hag being the new manager, things will be different but I'm afraid it seems they are still stuck in that "Slow recruitment"  pattern.

It doesn't make sense to let Salah go on a free transfer and I think Liverpool should put a lot of effort into Salah's contract, but of course I don't expect him to demand too much of a salary. Salah is at the peak of his career, so maybe Liverpool should follow his whims a bit especially regarding salary.

Maybe Liverpool have nothing to lose if they agree to a salary increase for Salah because basically Salah's performance has made this team get a lot of success this season. To be honest, Salah is the best at Liverpool at the moment for me.

I'm not sure Erik ten Hag will quickly bring success to Manchester United, but if Erik ten Hag can really make good and fast changes then surely Erik ten Hag cannot be underestimated.

Well it depends on the kind of "success" we are talking about here, i am pretty sure the United board are pretty aware that no matter how much they invest this summer, Erik winning the EPL for them next season is almost impossible, United is more or less like a disjointed group that will take some time to fix, and it will take Erik quite some time to get the boys going again, they need confidence and hopefully he would be able to build it back again in the players.

Having said that, what would be expected of Erik is to make Manchester United competitors again, they have to compete like a big team, they were more or less whipping boys last season, and that really cannot continue in the new season, they have to start playing like a big team, with desire and will to win, that is the only way they can get back to winning ways and in a couple of seasons win the EPL again.

Manchester United's performance was very disappointing. They had a lot of talented players in their squad. Yet they could not play well. Watching each of their games, I think the players have no goal. The bonding between the players was weak. Rangnick has not improved since he became the coach. They needed to change their match strategy. But Rangnick did not. Maybe next season United's management will decide to change coaches again.

I think Manchester United players were not bothered to improve with their performance,  they have talented players,  their is no way if this players strive to perform well that their wont be better result. This players were comfortable the way the team was performing,  it was only christiano Ronaldo who always showed seriousness in every he played.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Of course, Manchester United disappointed their fans by having a very poor season. But they still somehow managed to finish the season in the sixth place. They could have finished the season in the middle of the standings too. But this still doesn't change the fact that they were just horrible. Their main problem was related to their defense obviously. I wonder what actions they will be taking to solve this problem on a large scale. They can start by bringing a more credible defender instead of Maguire. And it would be better if they sign a solid defensive midfielder too.

Manchester United performance was not impressive at all, at first many thought the reason for their bad performance was caused by the former coach ole. After ralf Rangnick was brought to Manchester United their was a slight changes but the problem of poor performance was still there, it was complicated to think what could be the cause of the poor performance. Christaino was the main reason Manchester United was able to end up with the 6th position if not it would have been worse than that position.

The Rangnick era must be the most peculiar thing that has happened in the history of Manchester United. Entrusting the running of the team to a mysterious figure who had essentially given up on management a decade ago. His influence on German football shouldn't be underestimated, but being a tactical revolutionary and a competent football manager are two very different things. Rangnick spent the best part of a decade not managing, and that's why appointing him as first-team manager was one of the oddest things any Premier League club has ever done.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Erik ten Hag should be contented with having a player like Ronaldo in the team that's for sure. Ronaldo was the player who made the biggest contribution to the team in this very poor season for them. I expect him to maintain this effort in next season also. I just hope to see that Erik ten Hag builds a good team and improve the morale of the team significantly also. They really need to gather themselves up until the beginning of the season. They are starting a new period with their new manager and hopefully it can affect them positively.

Have announcement and confirmed from Cristiano Ronaldo keep staying with Manchester United next season? I doubt with Cristiano Ronaldo future with Manchester United after not participating on UEFA Champion League. I think Erik Ten Hag as new manager need find great central forward for United, Ronaldo is not real as central forward and I think he most active as left winger than put him on central forward. Better find and get new player as real central forward for Manchester United next season. Although not any rumors with Manchester United focus get new player on central forward.

I haven't heard any striker whose name is linked with Manchester United these days. Some time ago, they seemed to be serious about joining the race for Erling Haaland. There were even some rumours like Haaland's father was close to Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick and this would make the deal easier for Manchester United. But Manchester City made their offer and signed Haaland in like no time. After this incident, I don't know if they will go for a striker. However, Cavani is going to be free agent in a month so they will still need a striker even if they have Ronaldo.

So, Salah appears to be ready to burn down bridges with Liverpool. He said that if he doesn't renew with LFC, that he'd be looking for a new club in the PL next season when his contract expires.

Althugh there is no more loyalty in football, these things are still tough to take. My answer to this would be to sell him immediately - he is too valuable to leave without compensation, especially to a rival club.

He was smart enough to wait with this until the end of the season, the fans would have crucified him - especially because he wasn't really playing well at the end of the season.

I'm surprised by this news actually. Because I was thinking like that Liverpool would do everything to keep him at the team for some more years. I expected Salah to be ready for extending his contract as long as he gets a good contract offer too. I thought that he wasn't thinking of leaving the team for now as he was quite happy playing for them. However it turns out that I was wrong about assuming like this. If Salah and Mane both leave the team then Liverpool would have a really hard time recovering for some time I guess.

Is not Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane fault that they want to earn more at Liverpool if you consider what they have done for the football club,they are in the age that they need to consider money because after now they might end up regretting because one bad moment football forget all you have done for them take a look at Gareth Bale. I don't think Salah want to treat Liverpool bad but I think the club needs to give him what he wants because he deserves it.if he goes to another premier League club that Liverpool are richer than,they will still pay him more so is wise giving him the big contract same goes to Mane.

However, Cavani is going to be free agent in a month so they will still need a striker even if they have Ronaldo.

So far, it seems that Ten Hag hasn't decided to be a striker there but if I'm not mistaken there are several players who are indeed rumored to be approaching Old Trafford and one of them is Jurrien Timber who is indeed on duty in defense.
This season it seems that Ten Hag is still focusing on the defensive line considering the MU defense is quite bad in this regard and I think even though Timber is still quite foreign to the ear but if you follow the Eredivisie of course you will know how strong he is in defense

[Zilon]

Somehow Erik ten Hag will make a difference for Manchester United, because if I consider the other teams they look better. Therefore, I'm not sure Erik ten Hag will quickly bring success to Manchester United, but if Erik ten Hag can really make good and fast changes then surely Erik ten Hag cannot be underestimated. Because at this time there is still no solid evidence, then I personally will not have high hopes and will still wait for the results when the new season starts.

I read today that Manchester United have formed a transfer budget and it is about 140 million, Erik Ten Hag also wants to sell some players to increase this budget. I also don't think that should expect quick results, but I like his style, he likes fast attacking football and I think it's appropriate in the Premier League. I watched his interviews and I like his attitude, I like that he is demanding on the players and demands the maximum return on the field. Let's see how that plays out.

It is best and safer we don't raise high hopes yet. success is a gradual process. I just hope Ten Hag will be allowed to manage the team without interference. In the main time some players need to be sold off so he can have the best of Manchester united i am glad Cavani and pogba is leaving i hope the likes of Rashford, Maguire, Elanga even Mata and Matić should be sold off. The club needs complete recycling

[Pulsar77]

I agree that it is very early now to be hyped about Manchester United's next season performance. It is true that they have brought one of the best managers now. Erik ten Hag did a great job with Ajax so far. If he adapts to the team here, he can maintain his success. But they will need time of course. He will need to know the players very well until the beginning of the season to have a strong start. Besides probable new transfers would play a crucial role for the future of the team as well. To tell the truth, it would be nice to see them playing like the real Manchester United.

[KTChampions]

Manchester City need a good striker. Lewandovski wants to leave Bayern Munich, it seems pretty clear to me that he wants to leave. Despite his age, I think he would be a great fit for City's team. If he could come and strengthen that team, the chances of winning the CL suddenly rise sharply. The competition is of little value to this team. They start the league as favorites next season, and have slightly better chances of becoming champions than Liverpool.

Why do they need Lewandowski if they have already bought Haaland? These are roughly one-dimensional players, and given the age of Lewandowski, City simply do not need him. If City wanted to get him they could do it quickly and relatively cheaply - Bayern wants a little more than 40 million for him, which is ridiculous money for City.

For his first season at Manchester United I don't think Ten Hag will be as successful as he hoped because maybe he should try to maximize the potential of all the existing players while trying to get some new players. He's not a bad choice as a coach, I mean he can probably be relied on based on his experience.

But if Manchester United fans expect immediate success next season, then that will be very difficult to achieve. Ten Hag has a lot of work to do next season, especially on how to maximize the potential of his players who have not been in good form before. Of course this job will not be easy for him, but I hope he can compete well next season.

[arallmuus]

I just hope Ten Hag will be allowed to manage the team without interference.

He will be managing and taking full decision on all matters that concern the teams, thats part of his agreement with the management board before he decided to get the job ( Fabrizio reported this in his twitter ). He will has the final say on player's contract as well therefore he can decide which players that he will keep and play eventhough if that means leaving Ronaldo out of the lineup. Things are going to be pretty exciting though starting from which players will Ten Hag sign this summer

This is what have played out on a several note, Manchester United have being going backwards for years now and have never won the champion league for a long time now not even to qualify in the last season.

Even in the premier league the club have not been able to clinch to any good position on the table and if the club must make any good preparation for next season, man u will need to reposition the team and management of the club.

[BitcoinAccepted]

What many may not think is that United could play an important role in next season's championship. With the bookmakers, Liverpool and Manchester City are the favourites, understandably. But if you look at United's squad, there is also a lot of quality. It will have everything to do with the fact to what extent Erik ten Hag can make this team function. I expect a lot from him, he turns out to be a tactical genius.

This is true, but in this case they still need adjustment.
Talking about the quality of the players it is clear United may be quite good in this regard with some well-known players as well as impressive young players looking no gaps, but on the other hand their performance is not what everyone expected and this is clearly making a lot of parties doubt for them next season.

[lixer]

Salah and Mane have one more season on contract until June 2023, especially Mane who is rumored to be leaving and Bayern as his best port, if Salah follows him to leave can Liverpool replace the duo with other players? I think it's really difficult to do as much as Liverpool can keep one of them, because Liverpool really rose because of the cohesiveness of their striker to become the best in the EPL.
It's hard to imagine if Salah and Mane left.

The good thing for both Salah and Mane is the fact that their contracts will end at the same time hence they can leverage their contracts that way. They will be able to say "pay us more or we both leave" and ask for a lot more. If it was just one of them, you would just keep one and send the other, but in this situation you can't lose both at the same time. So if two of them get together, they could really milk LFC a lot and get a ton of money.

Not saying that they will do that, all I am saying is that there is a chance they could do something like that if they wanted to. And that is something that LFC should fear, wouldn't wanna be like PSG and end up paying too much.

To tell the truth, it would be nice to see them playing like the real Manchester United.

I'm more interested in what changes will take place in Manchester United's squad. Paul Pogba is no longer a player for this team and who will they put in that position, who will they buy before the season starts? Maybe they will sell someone? This is also very important, the start and the whole season depends on it. Although, if you look from the outside, MJ is one of the most expensive teams in the world...

Salah and mene are key players in Liverpool,  if they leave for another club it will be hard to find players who can replace them that can play the role in the team. Liverpool needs salah  and mene more than Anyone they would want. I don't think if this two players are leaving Liverpool next  season,  this are the kind of players Liverpool needs .
