Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Leviathan.007]

-snip-

They are looking for a replacement after the departure of De Gea. I think it would be nice if Manchester United took a more harmonious approach with de Gea so that he would sign a new contract at the same time Manchester United also brought in another goalkeeper. Many regret that De Gea left Manchester United because he is the most qualified goalkeeper after Edwin van der Sar.

It seems that Man United is still considering who is the most appropriate to hook, not only a goalkeeper who is really good and also suits Man United, but also the cost of bringing the goalkeeper to Man United. because we know that they also have a few limitations in funding. There are rumors that they actually want Andre Onana from Inter Milan but it looks like they have to spend a lot of money. So it looks like they need another alternative, and Robert Sanchez, Brighton goalkeeper, might be in the list.

Man Utd is keeping De Gea pending simply because they are hoping they can seal the deal on Onana from Inter. If it isn't successful, they might recall him back to the squad......

De Gea is already on the free transfer market and if a club takes him, it is certain he will join rather than waiting for uncertainty from Man United. Meanwhile, Man United are still looking for other alternatives to Onana due to the high bid price.

That's very sad that De Gea is not under contract anymore with any team even after the achievements he got in Manchester United, De Gea is a great player and he is still in the situation to have good performance for his team while Manchester United is trying t stop working with De Gea and hire Onana instead of him mostly because of Ten Hag.

For next season, Manchester City is still heavily considered as the strongest candidate in maintaining the EPL trophy. Even though other teams are starting to show better competition like what Arsenal did last season, but next season, seeing the depth of the Manchester City squad, I think they will be able to maintain the Trophy next season. Liverpool, Arsenal and manchester united have maximized this transfer window to fill the gap in the team by carrying out these signings. For next season I admit that Arsenal will try to put in a better performance after Arteta has improved his squad in this transfer window. For Liverpool, which failed last season to close the season in the top 4, they will try their luck next season to perform even better to be able to compete at the top of the standings.

For Manchester City in general, this season turned out to be clearly ambiguous. Yes, the club has issued a title, becoming the Premier League champion, won the FA Cup and, most importantly, for all people sympathetic to the project, finally won the Champions League. But it cannot be said that the victory in the Premier League was given for a clear advantage and if Arsenal were a little more experienced and lucky, they should not have missed the title. Therefore, this year City will certainly be the favorite, but still not unconditional, and I hope that other clubs will give Pep Guardiola and the company even more competition.

Giving Mount the jersey number 7, I believe the United board is moving too quickly; he has yet to live up to expectations, and giving him such a critical number is essentially a big obligation on the new player. Mason Mount was an exceptional player during his time at Stamford Bridge, and he performed admirably under every coach he worked with. He is willing to contribute to Manchester United and is capable to accomplish such. Erik Ten Hag is going to make the best possible use of the Englishman, who is held in high regard at Old Trafford.

You have given him many appraisals of the type of player he is, as well as the worth and contribution he has made to his former team Chelsea. I believe jersey number 7 is a significant number and one that everyone expects to perform wonderfully well for the club. Although it may appear to be too soon, I believe he has been assigned this number in order for him to demonstrate greater devotion and hard effort to the squad. No player wearing this number will desire to underperform for the squad; instead, they will want to be extraordinary amongst their fellow players.

[CryptocurencyKing]

My understanding of the goal keeping situation at Manchester United (one of the most scrutinized positions in world football) is that Erik Ten Hag has categorically stated that he wants Onana and David De Gea at the club together to fight for position 1.

Ọnana is better proactive GK,
David De Gea is better Reactive GK.

Different weapons, for different tactical setup. They don't want David De Gea to leave. David De Gea wants to stay  But only IF he's the main number 1 which Manchester United is not assuring him.
He loves the club, he doesn't want to leave yet, but he may be forced if conditions are not favourable for him.
E.g, Wages and importance in the squad.
That's the reason you've not seen a goodbye message from both David De Gea and Manchester United.

David De Gea in many seasons, saved Manchester United and his contributions for the club won't be forgotten. He has his weakness with his passing skill which is more important with trendy tactics in football. De Gea has never been a first choice in Spanish national because of that weakness. Ten Hag looks like not a coach will use De Gea if he can find a better coach as his philosophy is similar to Pep Guardiola.

They don't want David De Gea to leave. David De Gea wants to stay  But only IF he's the main number 1 which Manchester United is not assuring him.

He is already a legendary goalkeeper in history of Manchester United even he did not win too many titles with them. He has both super excellent matches and very terrible matches but I will always remember his unbelievable match against Tottenham years ago. His feet saved a lot of goals for Manchester United and that is unbelievable.

This match, you need to watch it again Tottenham 0-1 Manchester United | De Gea & Rashford shine at Wembley

For Manchester City in general, this season turned out to be clearly ambiguous. Yes, the club has issued a title, becoming the Premier League champion, won the FA Cup and, most importantly, for all people sympathetic to the project, finally won the Champions League. But it cannot be said that the victory in the Premier League was given for a clear advantage and if Arsenal were a little more experienced and lucky, they should not have missed the title. Therefore, this year City will certainly be the favorite, but still not unconditional, and I hope that other clubs will give Pep Guardiola and the company even more competition.

The consistency of the club is basically what keeps making them progress to the next stage, that's the simple fact about Manchester city. Pep Guardiola won a triple last season, which many couldn't believe, but the cityzens worked hard to keep everything running smoothly. Pep Guardiola has a great deal of competition for the league title, but he always comes out on top and makes things uncomplicated for the team. Manchester City is still the favorite to win the English Premier League this season; after all, the team has won it three years in a row, so what is stopping them this time?

[FanEagle]

Onana to United will be done for sure, it is not being done right now on technicality and small numbers, if United really wants him they will keep upping the bid until it is accepted, they just do not want to overpay for him. I mean what is the point in offering 80 million for a player that you can get for 50 million? So why not start with 30-35, and then work your way higher, maybe you can get him cheaper than 50 million.

These are all tough situations and I agree that it is not going to be easy but I bet that everyone would feel easier to just see it done, United fans can't wait for this to be done, they want to see the squad already, and yes we are barely in July but it is getting closer and potentially losing out on Onana feels terrifying of course now that De Gea is gone.

[rendravolt]

Mason Mount will not only carry a tough task, but he will also receive a big responsibility when he is entrusted with wearing the legendary jersey number 7. We know that previously the jersey number was worn by the Manchester United legend, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and after his departure to Al-Nassr, the jersey number is still vacant and no one deserves to wear it yet. But finally the next heir for the jersey number has been answered through the arrival of Mason Mount to Manchester United and I hope he can make a contribution commensurate with what the club has entrusted.

It takes strong mentality to wear the jersey number 7 which is known as the legendary jersey number at Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo is legendary wearing this jersey number and he has impressive performance. Mason Mount must prove his capacity by wearing the number 7 jersey and must have a much more promising performance compared to the last season of Cristiano Ronaldo. Looks unique with Mason Mount wearing number 7 because his position as attacking midfielder than Cristiano Ronaldo as left winger or central forward.

Often the jersey number 7 is always considered a sacred number for Red Devils fans and no doubt all the contributions from this jersey number always produce consistent results for many seasons for Manchester United. Not only Cristiano Ronaldo, but his predecessors who also successfully used the number 7 jersey such as David Beckham, Eric Cantona, George Best, Bryan Robson, and also Nobby Stiles.

So many legendary names have made good memories when using this jersey number and maybe until now it has been very difficult to find a successor to this jersey number after Cristiano Ronaldo. I think for the position of the player there is no problem as long as the player is very worthy and contributes fully then it is very appropriate to wear that jersey number.

[Minecache]

Yeah finally Manchester United got their first player this season somehow Mason Mount seems to be a special player for Manchester United, not only Erik Ten Hag even Manchester United management agreed to give number 7 to Mason Mount and in addition, the contract agreement will run for 5 seasons. I didn't say this was excessive but I wondered what made them very sure, do they think that Chelsea failed to increase the potential of this player and Erik Ten Hag who is able to do it?
We know Mason Mount is brought to increase their midfield which last season was not optimal it's just that I am worried that their expectations are too high, after all we have to wait for its performance in the first season there is no point in criticizing before seeing its performance, I hope he deserves to use a jersey number 7.

Mason Mount is the right signing to help improve Manchester United's form next season. I expect Ten Hag to really be able to make a good impact to re-open the title opportunity for Manchester United, but I know he needs support and time.
So far I am happy with the work he has done for Manchester United. The team has changed a lot to a better level, but it's clear that Ten Hag needs a lot of financial support to build a team that can compete with other contestants. It's not easy to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal and several others when Ten Hag doesn't get the proper support.

Well I won't be so sure about mason reaching up the shoes of that number 7 Jersey given to him but like everyone else I would like to be optimistic about his role to improve the midfield performance for Manchester united. Ten Haag has really improve this team and signing Mount to the squad is another move to add up strength in the midfield but I just hope that Mason Mount will live up to the expectations by the coach and fans of the club.

We have seen this happen before. A player comes into the team with really high expectations, but in the end, he is not able to deliver. And I really hope that the same is not going to happen with Mason Mount. He seems to be a good player. And if the same thing happens with Mason Mount as well, I will have to say that Manchester United is just cursed. Or all the things that Cristiano Ronaldo said on the Piers Morgan show were actually true, which it is to some extent.

Anyway, I think Manchester United is improving right now and they should be able to perform well with Mason Mount in the team. Giving the number seven shirt to Mason. Mount is certainly a sign of respect, and I hope Mason Mount will be able to deliver.

Congratulations to Mason Mount for not just securing a move to Manchester United but also securing the number 7 iconic shirt number for a prestigious club like Manchester United. Much will be expected of him as the jersey number comes with much responsibility and expectations. I hope he doesn’t fall short but rather impress us all in this new challenge he has decided to take on.

This is a welcome development to Manchester united for bringing in Mason Mount to join Manchester united, and to wear number 7 jersey and I believe he will make Manchester united coach and fans proud next season, because he is a talented striker that know how to hustle for goals in any competition. Based on his past performance in his formal team, I think he will bring more positive changes to Manchester united so that they will struggle for first or second position in the premier league competition next season. Next season will be a best season for Manchester united, because their Management are very ready to use any amount of money to bring in talented players to fill those position that was causing some challenges to the team this season so that there will be massive improvement next season.

It is thought that Inter Milan want £50m for Onana, significant short of Manchester United intended offer but there is a feeling a compromise can be struck. Erik ten Hag is eager to get his desired number one in before the start of pre season and talks are now underway with Onana keen to move. Although, they don’t anticipate it being a quick process. But I’m hoping that the second bid will close the gap in valuation. That’s Manchester United have to pay the full £50m for Onana, and that would take their summer spending to £105m and Ten Hag only has a kitty of about £120m before player sales. I’m thinking this deal is important but let see how it’ll play out.

[X-ray]

Mason mount gonna have big burden caused by the club was interesting in signing him. The fact that if number 7 has become a special number in united. There will be so many people keeping their eyes on mason mount. Im sure about this. it's likely that if mason mount gonna be another player who gonna be blamed if the performance from mount will not so good with manchester united. Im sure about this. Mason mount has been making a farewell vid for all of chelsea fans.

Anyone notice that farewell video wasn't made recently and that prove Mason Mount was never loyal to Chelsea and I doubt he'll have any loyalty for Manchester united, if he does very well and the like of Real Madrid comes calling, he'll pack up his bag and be on the next flight to Madrid. Mason Mount hair in the video and what he worn during his unveiling wasn't the same and that's why I feel he did the video few weeks back. Mason Mount been given the number 7 shirt isn't because of his footballing quality but for marketing purposes.

Well, it's quite opposite compared with ten hag's reason to give him number 7. It's a mythical number that had been wearing by so many great players like beckham, ronaldo or even eric catona.

Sources say Ten Hag's decision to offer the number to Mount sent a strong signal of how much United valued the England international and earmarked the pivotal role he is set to have in the team.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-united-mason-mount-number-27260547

Despite being for marketing purposes, it can also serve as a way for United to demonstrate how highly they valued him.

Mason Mount is a proper england favorite so he'll sell lots of shirt for Manchester united and get them their money back that they spent on him. Mason Mount would be another David Beckham and not Ronaldo. He's going to be used as a model at Manchester united, Rashford would still get more goals than him. Mason mount is an average player and was just been overused (which made him looked good at Chelsea) because we had no one in those positive immediately we got some quality players in we all saw how mid Mason Mount was looking and which made him flopped last season.

His performanace last season was a flop but i remember that if pochettino has ever said he wants keep him but he is feeling desperate to do that.

Wow, there might be pros and cons, but this is quite interesting. Basically, the number 7 is an iconic number and of course Man United will not give an iconic number to just anyone. The decision finally gave this number directly to the new player who was brought in from Chelsea. But of course, this will also be a separate pressure for Mason Mount to wear the number 7. But basically, the hope is that he can make a very good contribution to the team like the previous number 7.

Just like you said number 7 is a iconic number for Manchester United because those who are given that number the fans will considers they are special player and probably the reason why Manchester United give number 7 to Mason Mount because they want Mount could be a key player for this team and help Manchester United to gets the trophies but the previous players who use this number mostly could not play up to expectations and the players such as Edinson Cavani, Alexis Sanchez or Memphis Depay that they have failed to show their best performance when used this number but i won't judge it early because new season still not starting yet and after the league begin then we will see whether Mason deserved to use that numer or not

Yes indeed, at the beginning we can only predict whether Mason Mount will succeed or not, of course we will not be able to confirm it at this time. Because after all, using an iconic number at Manchester United is also not always the right choice, among which has been proven by the existence of several players who failed to make a good contribution to Manchester United like the player you mentioned. But yes, even so we should give Mason Mount full trust and support, because it can also make Mason Mount able to play with good confidence.

Mason Mount is indeed a talented player. And actually he is a player who grew up in the Chelsea academy. And I think his career will indeed be much better by joining Manchester United. Because Chelsea's condition is not good since last season. and even this season Chelsea may not be as good as Manchester United. So Mount was very lucky because he was able to move to Manchester United, which actually had a better future. Moreover, Manchester United will play in the Champions League.

Mason Mount, one of Chelsea's significant players and likely a key project under Erik Ten Hag, I believe, will make the difference. Manchester United giving the new player jersey number 7, I'm not sure what they're expecting. We all know that individuals who donned the number 7 jersey don't always function effectively at Old Trafford; they may thrive one season and then struggle the following. As an illustration, Angel Di marria, Memphis Depay, and Alexis Sanchez all failed, with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo, the uncontested possessor of the legendary number.

if Mason Mount can adapt well and match the strategy that will be presented by Ten Hag, he can show his potential that was not seen while at Chelsea. but if he later seems to have difficulty adapting to the game that is usually applied by MU, this could be a bad transfer.
player transfers can be appropriate and can end badly. we've seen it happen a few times in the past season. Let's hope Ten Hag doesn't choose the wrong player.

Much will be expected of him as the jersey number comes with much responsibility and expectations. I hope he doesn’t fall short but rather impress us all in this new challenge he has decided to take on.

So much would be expected from him, he has to give all of his best for the club and he shouldn't bother about these dump criticisms and critics. He's a player with everything needed in the twenty first century as a midfieder.
I wasn't expecting that number be handed over to him immediately, Garnacho would have been a better option for that jersey, why and what's with the rush?

One thing I'm sure is that, Mason Mount will turn up greatly Into the right problems. He already had his first day with United , getting to know each of his player's.

The truth is that Mason mount don't have any choice but to give his best performance for Manchester United,  with the number given to him other players,  fans are looking up to him, I think this will motivate him to do better . To  me I feel Mason Mount will do better under Manchester United,  he is an experienced player with a good performance,  I don't  think Manchester United will  be too hard for him to perform well in the new season. For Manchester United to able to bring  Mason Mount into the squad it is a good achievement for the season.

Uefa Champions League Facebook page had put a post yesterday regarding Mason Mount which will keep a legendary number 7 for Manchester United and from the names I saw there like Ronaldo,Valencia,Owen,Cavani and a couple others looks like this guy is the weakest from all of these names,well at least in theory,in practice I have to wait and see how much Manchester United will improve thanks to this player,for me he is a brilliant player and I hope to see huge improvement from Manchester United during the upcoming Premier League season.

Some people say that number is not important in football. But I don't think the same honestly. Because there are some really special numbers who are known with legends. 7 is really one of these numbers. Mount will carry a really big number on the back of his shirt and hopefully he can show a solid performance with it at Manchester United as well.

He hasn't had a good time period at Chelsea in the recent times. Chelsea didn't even want to extend his contract with the conditions he asked for. This might be the opportunity for Mount to shine again. I expect him to have an enough playing time to show his skills.
