Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Prince Malik]

Manchester United have unveiled their adidas away shirt for the 2022–2023 season, returning to their signature design with mostly wavy edges, black collar with a slight v-neck, emblem stick depicted with black and red five-beams, two of the three adidas stripes on the  the bottom of the shirt has a red crest, black centerline and off-white pattern with the Team Viewer club logo in a kit with a black finish.
The Manchester United away shirt will feature pants in black and with some of the stripes they have changed over the last year.

This remind me of the 2006 one especially the black around the logo, its really nice to see the united players dressing this like this again, im a fan of Manchester united since very long time and this is so nostalgic

with the entry of Eriksen, the MU midfield is already good, MU's next pre-season training will take place in Australia, we can see his first appearance with MU there. I'm very happy with the reshuffle that was done by ten hag, hopefully he is the next Ferguson (which many MU fans are waiting for)

It's still lacking for the man united midfield, because this season the Red Devils release several midfielders, including  Pogba, Matic, and Juan Mata. Pogba and Matic are in the main squad, so I think the coach needs to find some to strengthen Manchester United's midfield

True, I also think that Manchester United still needs a midfielder who can be more creative in passing the ball into the opponent's defense line. So far I haven't seen that figure, Bruno Fernandez couldn't do better in that role, although he's still reliable. But still I haven't seen any outstanding players in Manchester United's midfield right now.

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem likely to join Manchester United according to latest news. Because it is said that Barcelona have added him to their squad for their tour also. This must be meaning that they are willing to keep him at the team. On the other hand there are some rumours like two sides have reached an agreement about a deal like €75m + €10m bonus. I really don't know what to believe now.    Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess.

Indeed, from the start the rumors about his move to Manchester United seemed like there was no clear continuation. But now if he was really on the pre-season tour roster, he would most likely stay at Barcelona. But on the other hand, Barcelona have spent a lot of money to sign their new players. But whether they will sell de Jong to cover the money they spent or not.

It doesn't really say anything imho.  We've seen these high profile guys get off their friendlies tours and sometimes move clubs at the final day of the transfer window.  I don't know what De Jong is on about but if Barca wants him off the roster there's nothing he can do about it.  What he can do is choose another club who's willing to meet his personal terms.  It kinda reminds me of those transfer moves like Beckham's.  He was informed that United sold him to Barca..  He immediately called his agent and told him to force a move to Real Madrid instead.  :/

But on the other hand, Barcelona have spent a lot of money to sign their new players. But whether they will sell de Jong to cover the money they spent or not.

So far Barcelona have only spent money on former Leeds United player, Raphinha. And it also can't be considered as an overspend because they also get income from sell of Coutinho to Aston Villa. While Andreas Christensen, who was brought in from Chelsea, Barcelona get it on a free transfer.

As for the possibility of see frenkie de jong move to Old Trafford, it was see from deal with Milan to sign franck kessie has sparked speculation about midfielder frenkie de Jong's future. Besides that I am more confident to see him next season with Barcelona.

There's a recent news where Barcelona have made a deal with Bayern Munich to sign Lewandowski for 50 Million Euro, they signed Raphinha for 58 Million Euro, and how much you think the income Barcelona get after sold Coutinho? it's only 20 Million Euro lol. Barcelona is still deficit for 88 Million Euro because signing this 2 players, I can't imagine if their transfer will goes wrong than their expect.

Both Barcelona and Man United agreed on the price already.
Frankie De Jong doesn't want to play Europa league football.
They have already moved to USA for the tour, Barcelona does not want to increase his wages.

By the way, after releasing Sterling and Gabriel Jesus Man City haven't see a new striker besides Haaland? Could it be that they won't be looking for striker anymore?

It is a good point also. Manchester City don't have any reliable substitute centre-forward now. There are Julian Alvarez and Nahuel Bustos who are returnees from their loan spells. However I don't think that Manchester City are thinking of any of them as substitutes now. Manchester City played without a striker too last season when Gabriel Jesus wasn't available to play. Maybe they are just thinking of the same plan for next season also. They had better be lucky about Haaland's not getting injured for a long time.

It seems that Erik Ten Hag plan to recruit his former men to Manchester United failed miserably, because Barcelona have confirmed that they will not sell De Jong in the transfer market this season. The inclusion of De Jong name into the list of Barcelona players participating in the pre-season tour to the United States further clarifies De Jong future, especially since De Jong has told his colleagues that he will not leave Barcelona. Erik Ten Hag must forget De Jong, looking for another player would be a good option for Manchester United before the transfer window closes.

De Jong can come to Manchester United if they play Champions League.
Another move that can force him out will be the move of Bernado Silva at Man City to Barcelona.
I know he has a good relationship with Ten Hag, settling down in the squad won't be hard.

But still I haven't seen any outstanding players in Manchester United's midfield right now.

I think have enough with Manchester United looking for player position midfielder, losing Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic have filled by Eriksen and I think right now Manchester United have completed player on midfielder, about attacking midfielder I think Bruno Fernandez and Cristian Eriksen filled slot, with holding midfielder have Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek. Maybe with 4-4-2 formation adopt by Erik Tan Hag he just need two midfielder only between attacking and holding midfielder. I think Manchester United just try find new central forward, although if Ronaldo keep stay still need to find central forward have scoring goal soul.

Yes. The latest news is that Frenkie De Jong has joined the Barcelona squad for the tour. De Jong still wants to stay at Barca even though the club has agreed to a fee of 75 million + 10 million in addition as said by Fabrizio Romano.

For me, Manchester United already have Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernades, Freed and most recently Cristian Eriksen. All of the players mentioned above have the same position as De Jong and their roles can also be like De Jong.
So, it is better if the club nicknamed the red devils turns attention to other players who are much cheaper but the process is not laborious.

Even in this case I have heard of this contract extension several months ago but so far it has not been implemented.
Saka has become a pretty good player this season and indeed Arsenal should immediately make a contract extension here, especially there are several big clubs who really want his services for next season because indeed some time ago there were rumors about Liverpool and City also wanted his services even though it seemed like it was. now it's not anymore but still Saka must be permanently in a new contract.

Yes, Saka had become the target of Manchester City in the transfer market this summer. Bukayo Saka who is still very young (20 years old) of course Arsenal will prioritize Saka to be an important part for next season. I believe Arsenal are in talks with his agent to reach an agreement on his new contract. maybe in the next few days we will see official news from arsenal for the extension of Bukayo Saka contract. maybe besides saka arsenal also focus on extending the contract period of gabriel martinelli and gabriel magalhaes.

Even though Saka's contract is still 2 years away until it expires but that doesn't stop Arsenal from discussing a long-term contract there and they are now quite sure about it.
Arteta says currently Saka is at the center of his project and wants to keep him at the Emirates at all costs.
On the other hand, Saka also seems to still feel at home at Arsenal and seems to be responding to Arsenal's proposal.

Saw that Chelsea have officially confirmed that they've completed the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli side, a deal that worth about £34million, The centre back has officially penned a four-year contract ,the signing of the defender have made it Chelsea's second summer contract deal.
That's Such a good deal and kudos to Chelsea for doing the needful in their ability to making the team match the strength of rival clubs like Manchester City , Liverpool etc , I love the drastic move made by Chelsea FC to bring in such a good player like Kalidou Koulibalyto play in the place of Rudiger.

So, it is better if the club nicknamed the red devils turns attention to other players who are much cheaper but the process is not laborious.

But who deserves Manchester United to go after it? Because I see they are still a little less in that position. For other positions, I think they are ready to enter the competition next season, especially if Cristiano Ronaldo can stay with them. For the back position they are better than before with the addition of their new players.

And he joined the team at the states immediately after completing he medical.
A good back up for the loss of Rudiger for me.
He is very solid behind and very strong physical and with the head.

Kalidou Koulibaly is a very strong defender and he is an experienced player even though he is 31 years old but in terms of quality he is still very good and strong.
now Chelsea seems to have needed what they wanted, in this transfer market Chelsea are eyeing a few defenders but now what they have got is Koulibaly, and that is better in my opinion than De Ligt who was only released by Juventus for a very high price.

I think Manchester United just try find new central forward, although if Ronaldo keep stay still need to find central forward have scoring goal soul.

In this case I would like to see Van De Beek under the direction of Eric Ten Hag in the next season.
Van De Beek had a pretty good time with Ten Hag and now they are reunited with a different squad and with a different team but this is something that I think is interesting.
Van De Beek in the Ole and Rangnick era was always left out and now it looks like this will never happen again especially with Ten Hag's words who want to prioritize Van De Beek next season.

[Sterbens]

It would be even better for Ronaldo because his big name and ability are certainly still needed by the Manchester United squad at this time if they really want to stay.
I also believe that Erik Ten Hag will be able to change everything that is needed at the Manchester United club for next season and that is being done at the moment.

I believe the signing of Eriksen will assist Ronaldo to score more goals if he decide to stay atleast for now that Chelsea had backed out from the purported bid, Man Utd lacked creative midfielders that can create the finals passes, the present crop of players playing that role had not live up to expectations, Bruno Fernandez had performed woefully in that role, honestly if Erik Ten Hag can rebuild the team with players like Eriksen who has the capacity to create goal scoring chances because of his passing ability will help the team precisely Ronaldo to score many goals.

It turns out that Ronaldo and their new teammates will work even harder to reach the Champions League ticket. That's why Ronaldo's hope is to end the season that has been achieved. With the addition of squads such as Eriksen and Martinez, it becomes one of the better formations than before. Erik Ten Hag will try everything he can to get Manchester United out of the threatening zone.
