Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Solokan]

Besides it would be too much if anyone took friendly matches seriously. Winning or losing won't have any impact, so I'm not interested in watching it and Manchester United is still in the adjustment stage, Erik Ten Hag also seems to want to experiment. For Rosenborg this victory is actually a positive thing, it motivates them to be able to play even better, plus it is an honor against a giant EPL club. For Rosenborg this is a rare match that not all clubs can play.

For Rosenborg, this match is certainly a rare opportunity that they must take advantage of to test their strength. It's just that I quite understand the disappointment of some people about the results of the match. Because even though Erik Ten Hag only played young players, several main players were withdrawn and replaced in this match. But what I can say now is that it means Man United's young players have lost in quality to Rosenborg's players. So in essence Man United does not have good strength in their second layer and among their young players. Or it could also be because of the bad strategy used by Ten Hag. After the match, Ten Hag also spoke and he felt that Man United should be able to play more than that. Which means he also didn't expect this result. Yes, it was only a friendly match, but we can also make some assessments from this match. Just like Ten Hag who also definitely assesses each player and the results of the match.

Even though it's a friendly match, of course Rosenborg will make the best use of this opportunity and it seems like Rosenborg really enjoyed the match and it is indeed a rare moment and of course Rosenborg has now managed to beat Erik ten Hag's troops and Rosenborg will definitely be proud of this result because after all Manchester United is a popular club and of course now Rosenborg would be proud of that victory.

It's true that what you said about Manchester United's young players can still be called not strong enough, but of course Erik ten Hag also didn't expect this to happen, but yes, I hope that with Manchester United's defeat, Erik ten Hag can improve his players and of course the Manchester United fans will also definitely be disappointed with this.

yes, even though it is a friendly match, of course everyone will judge, but of course this incident will definitely be a valuable lesson and of course we will see the next friendly match, namely Manchester United against Rangers and of course we will see Erik Ten Hag's troops competing again and of course we will see either Ranger will win or Manchester united will win. but I am sure that in that match Manchester United will have the potential to win.

and of course in the Rangers match against Manchester United, in my opinion, Manchester United should have won because of course if, for example, Rangers lost, it would definitely make it difficult for Manchester United to compete in the Premier League.

Manchester United is doing a good thing because it has been seen since last season that the defense is their team's weakness and now they are trying to cover this weakness.

I guess that you are a fan of MU, you are the one trying to cover up MU's weakness. I don't see what they are doing well. Recently, MU players did not show anything good against Rosenborg. They were defeated by Rosenborg in a friendly match.

Manchester United is a team that continues to improve for the next season, that is a positive thing and the transfer market is still long, making it more likely that Manchester United will improve their team, if they continue to make changes to their squad, I am quite optimistic that Manchester United could be better next season.

Everyone will also see how Manchester United will perform at the start of next season until the end of next season. Because from what I see, it is not only the defense line that Manchester United needs to improve, but the midfield and attack line also need attention from Manchester United. Because a strong team must be able to excel in all areas in order to win the Premier League and the European League, because Manchester United will also play in the UEL next season.

It is difficult to mention all of MU's problems because, instead of stumbling in a certain stage of competition, there are difficulties throughout. The most prominent problem indeed is that MU has a very poor defense.
I doubt Ten Hag's strategy. I believe that his approach relies more on personal skills than a systematic tactical plan. MU's strikers constantly pressure up front while the defense drops deep, often leaving a lot of space in the midfield. At that time, goalkeeper Andre Onana became a victim of Ten Hag's tactics. I'm afraid that next season if they continue to be unstable, they will rank lower than last season.

Rosenborg will indeed be very proud, but supporters of these two clubs think there is nothing special in this match and Rosenborg should not think that it is easy to beat Man Utd because that was not the real performance.
Erik Ten Hag is just experimenting with the players he currently has and in pre-season matches like this, all clubs are also doing the same thing to take advantage of this opportunity to try out several strategies or use several players who will later be used as main players in the new season has begun.

[fuguebtc]

I don't think much problem with bad result of Manchester United pre season match after defeating by Rosenborg B.K because most of youth players, Erik ten Hag would give more minute playing for young players and combined with any senior players such as Casemiro, Mason Mount and Marcus Rshford.
Manchester United's tactician Erik ten Hag not priority with winning result on pre season match, he want see which one any young potential players promote to senior team next season and he want see new players will adapt well with his tactician or not.

After facing Rosenborg B.K, three days later Manchester United have second pre season match against Ranger and I think Erik ten Hag will give more minutes playing for young players and not priority must win on pre season match.

Pre-season games are never a priority to win, rather they are used as test grounds for the coaches. Erik Ten Hag, like every other manager, will try to build a starting eleven, along with the bench during the pre-season. This is where he can test out the players in a full-length match, and also try his tactics out.

In Man United's match against Rosenborg, they tried out a lot of young players, with only 3 senior starters. I don't think losses in the pre-season matter unless they end up losing all of their games, which by the way is very unlikely. I think Man United has a great squad to start with, and they will do good in the pre-season, followed by a good start in the league.

[topbitcoin]

Ha! Nothing is changing at Old Trafford as long as they still employ Erik Ten Hag.

I second this, but i don't think Ten Hag is the sole problem, even if Manchester United had fired Erik Ten Hag and employed a new manager, i would not still have high hopes for them next season. There is quite a lot of things wrong at the club, though they have started fixing some of it, particularly from their hierarchy, there've been good appointments lately and with Sir Jim Ratckliffe now a part of the club, there could be some progress for them next season.

Actually for now, sacking Ten Hag or letting him stay at Manchester United for at least 1 more season, both options have their own risks.

When Manchester United choose to replace Ten Hag, they will be new again where the club will definitely have to find a new coach and with the transition and re-adaptation, it will also not guarantee Manchester United to change quickly. But keeping Ten Hag for the time being is a risk, especially given his authoritarian attitude, which could result in the same situation as previous seasons.

But in this case I actually expect Manchester United to look for a new coach who does have more competence, although indeed this will not be a guarantee to bring Manchester United to perform better in the first season but at least there is hope when it happens with a new coach because to force Ten Hag it is very risky. It's just that Manchester United continue to work with Ten Hag, even though there is a lot of criticism of this.

Currently Man United are trying to change their squad by bringing in several players this is something Erik Ten Hag is doing to start the upcoming season, I don't expect so bad we will now judge like the previous season because of poor performance while to see this team we have to see the match later after the Premier League starts.

It seems that Man United will get a lot of attention for every line that is lacking, we don't know the name that will be brought back to Old Trafford, some players have signed an agreement now waiting for the attacking line whether the previous one is enough or will recruit another player's name.

United's problem last season was so complex, the whole team needs to be improved, not only by having new players but strategy, mentality, and teamwork need to be improved alot.
Will they become better next season? I will not expect too much because even if they are improving their squad by getting new players I'm sure there is no instant effects.
If I have to predict. they will be still struggling hard next season just to be back on top 4 at the end of the next season.
They can get less loses next season compared to last season will be more than enough if you ask me, but of course I want to see them to be more competitive to make the whole league become more interesting to follow.

Pre-season games usually don't have any motivation for the top clubs to win the game. Yes, I agree that in this match both teams gave one hundred percent of their abilities. But this is not the first time a top team from the English league has lost to a mediocre team. I think Manchester United really made this a game to test a lot of different tactics. Rosenborg scored a goal late in the game so I think both teams played very well. But a defeat is still a defeat and Ten Hag also said that this was not the performance United should have.

As far as I Know, most big teams don't finding motivation in such preseason game's as this could bring injuries to star player's which could cost them big but it's also a great opportunity to try out new signins and new tactics for  managers if they choose to make good from this!

As of the loss, I had to look at which senior players featured for Manchester United and I can confidently  report that very few of Uniteds big names featured here and we shouldn't put much pressure on them as the result is on the youngsters who failed to deliver a win for lack of team chemistry, but come August ,Utd will not have excuses for failing to deliver wins as the league will be in full swing!!

The new season is by the corner and we might see something different or similar to what happened when Manchester City won the league with Arsenal struggling to get the EPL title and it got me wondering if Arteta can be classified as a failure for losing the chances of becoming Champions with the Gunners two time in a row? We know the Gunners was this close to snatch the title against the Citizens last season. To me last season was the best Arteta and the Arsenal boys have gone to battle with the Citizens and Pep wasn't too calm last campaign because the pressure of losing the title to Arsenal was too much but we know how it ended with some silly mistakes Arsenal made when they started losing games they were suppose to win that caused them the chances of winning the league.
So I'll ask because is still getting me worried about the Arsenal manager (Arteta), some fans will say he tried but trying isn't a trophy to me, is Arteta a failure to the Arsenal fans or he should be celebrated for trying to win the league title two times in a row?

[SOKO-DEKE]

I also don’t believe in Ten Hag, he is not consistent in his performances and he do have internal problems with players which is not a sign of a good manager.
Last season, Manchester United’s performance was good in the beginning of the season, but towards the end of the season due to some wrong decisions, the team performance went down due to injuries as well, but with all the money spent to sign the wrong players in the team, I think they should have signed better players that will bring progress to the team, but Ten Hag prefer to sign his former players which the Premier League style of play has became difficult for them to adapt.

If Ten Hag didn’t perform well next season, I will suggest he should be sacked before the end of the season so that the team can get a better coach that brings glory back to Old Trafford.

I will also say that Ten Hag is not a good coach based on his record at Manchester United. Honestly, his performance is getting worse season by season. If it were not for Manchester United being lucky to win the FA Cup and even the Europa League, they would not have qualified for it. With the set of quality players that Ten Hag has under him, I don't expect these kinds of performances from him. The truth is not that Manchester United lacks quality players, but that Ten Hag does not know how to manage them. If Ten Hag were the type who knew how to manage players, Manchester United would always be competing with teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

Many of the players that Ten Hag have signed and they are not performing as expected are quality players who were doing so well in their former teams and played beyond our expectations they was there. However, due to Ten Hag's mismanagement, many of them have declined since signing for Manchester United. If Ten Hag can change and stop having internal problems with his players, it will really help his career.

Ten Hag was not the only problem with Manchester United declining performance last season, but he was one of several sources that caused Manchester United to have difficulty competing in the EPL. Ten Hag will start the new season with the trust of management, he should have been fired due to his inability to improve Manchester United performance, but the FA Cup Trophy has saved him from the worst possibility in his career.
There is a lot that needs to be improved to improve Manchester United's performance again, the coach's strategy and approach to the players is absolutely necessary to maintain the unity of the players. In my opinion, this is the last chance for Ten Hag, if he fails to bring Manchester United to a better position, then Manchester United management will not hesitate to fire him.

Last season was quite an impressive season for Arsenal and Arteta because their were just one step away from becoming champions before inconsistency befell them at the end of the season, I think currently Arsenal are still in the process of becoming champions after previously they were only competing for a top four position in the league, but the arrival of Arteta who managed to change the philosophy and also improve the mentality of Arsenal players and made Arsenal in the last two seasons a contender Champions with manchester city, maybe some of us will still consider Arteta as a loser because he did not end the season with a trophy, but didn't Manchester City when Guardiola came also not immediately get the championship trophy in his first season coaching?
What happens to Guardiola certainly also happens to Arteta at the moment where he still needs time to make Arsenal better and can also get the Premier League trophy after more than 20 years of fasting for the title, Guardiola won the Premier League trophy in his second season but as we know if his job was easier at that time with the financial support owned by Manchester City, while Arsenal I don't think they have as good finances as Manchester City for support arteta job.

Manchester United must make improvements in almost all positions, from the back line, midfield and front line. Their back line still made a lot of mistakes which ultimately resulted in them having to be punished with a goal, their midline was not working optimally which meant that the balance between the back line and the front line could not work optimally. On the front line, they still have several problems, especially when they experience a deadlock when attacking.
This is a big job, interestingly they still have it after they have been with the coach for 2 seasons. it should no longer be seen in their team. Having some weaknesses may still be considered something normal, but what they have are weaknesses in almost all positions.

Ten Hag isn't the whole problem here. He's got that strict drill sergeant vibe, doesn't quite fit the United way, and that can mess with the players' heads. But getting rid of him isn't a magic solution either. New manager, new chaos, and we all know how that song and dance goes at Old Trafford. Fresh blood could bring fresh ideas, maybe shake up the squad a bit. But we've seen this movie before. New guy comes in, promises the world, then we're back to square one. United needs a plan, man. Not just a manager, but a damn vision. Build up that youth academy, make some smart buys, and for God's sake, stop throwing money at big names who don't give a damn about the badge. It's about time the Glazers (and even this Ratcliffe guy) understand that

Arsenal choked when it mattered for the second season in a row. Very few of their players have won a trophy, even at international level, Rice and Saka choked in the final against Spain.

I’m far from convinced they will win the PL title this season.

[bering]

It looks like Manchester United's center back duo will be eagerly awaited and with the arrival of Leny Yoro they should be able to increase the strength of their defensive line to become even stronger. There was Lisandro Martinez who was known to be very fierce even though his body was not very tall, but his anticipatory instincts were always mature and he always did not hesitate when dueling with opponents who were bigger than him.

I think Erik Ten Hag has found the right formula with the arrival of Leny Yoro and Manchester United should not be in trouble next season. The rest is just a matter of how they can further develop the rhythm of the game on the field and the small decisions they have to consider in order to achieve victory. Well, let's see whether Leny Yoro can provide high expectations for the fans.

Previously Leny Yoro almost moved to Real Madrid but this transfer wasn't happened because Real Madrid has withdraw from this race and the main causes why Real Madrid didn't buy him is because Leny Yoro has demanding high salary and  apparently Manchester United is the winner and they will gets his signature and i am not surprised why Manchester United is really want Leny Yoro because he is promising player and with his current age which 18 years old Leny Yoro has being an Lille important player on Lille defensive lines

Why Ten Hag insist want to bought Leny Yoro from Lille is he can be used to played at several different position such as right back or centre back and Leny Yoro also can be considered as the replacement of Varane who leave Manchester United with free transfer status and some people has been predict Ten Hag can maximized his potention and i can see it that Manchester United is really to focusing their defensive lines because after gets Leny Yoro Manchester United also will buy Matthijs De Ligt from Bayern Munich

Besides those names above it says Manchester United will attempts to strengthen their midfield lines too especially they will lost some of players on that position because the names such as Scott McTominay, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen most likely will be sell so that's why Manchester United still attempts to gets Adrien Rabiot from Juventus and apparently this transfer will possibly to happend because Adrien Rabiot also interested to joining with Manchester United and the good thing is Manchester United will gets this player for free

But this is not the first time a top team from the English league has lost to a mediocre team. I think Manchester United really made this a game to test a lot of different tactics.

That why is good to be good if assume Manchester United did well last season many will have considered them the way you thought, even I personally didn't condemn them because I have the same thoughts as yours, likewise I consider the opponent to be playing well better then them because it a privilege to them for playing with a huge team like Manchester United and also most of the players there really want to take advantage of that to make themselves popular for other big teams to see how they are performing to get lift up. It even too early to judge, let see how the senior men will play when the league starts.

[Oluwa-btc]

So, that is the problem for Man United because they have to compete with Bayern Munich to be able to recruit this player. Apart from that, Bayern Munich will not give up on making an offer to Leverkusen at a higher price, while Manchester United doesn't seem to be able to make a higher offer than Bayern Munich.
Until now there has been no decision regarding either of them, but I really hope that Man United can finally recruit these player considering that the club really needs a defender.

No! This is not a problem for Manchester United, they have no interest in the player, they're only making possible inquires about the player if he'll suit them squad or whatever.
Secondly, they're in no Competition with Bayern Munich, nor do they have such intentions to go head for head with Bayern Munich for Jonathan Tah. It's simply clear,  Bayern Munich wants Jonathan Tah and he also wants them. Not even Bayern Leverkusen would be able to stop him from moving.

Manchester United has just signed a new defender who will definitely last the club a long time. He is young but still class at his age. Leny Yoro is the name, he has also just been announced recently as a Manchester United player. Asides Leny Yoro, Manchester United are not giving up on the name De Ligt, who Erik Ten Hag wants clearly. There's no issues with the personal terms agreement but Manchester United and Bayern Munich are yet to have agreement on what valuations to sell him.

[hyudien]

Pre-season games are never a priority to win, rather they are used as test grounds for the coaches. Erik Ten Hag, like every other manager, will try to build a starting eleven, along with the bench during the pre-season. This is where he can test out the players in a full-length match, and also try his tactics out.

In Man United's match against Rosenborg, they tried out a lot of young players, with only 3 senior starters. I don't think losses in the pre-season matter unless they end up losing all of their games, which by the way is very unlikely. I think Man United has a great squad to start with, and they will do good in the pre-season, followed by a good start in the league.

No one thinks that pre-season matches are taken seriously, they do pre-season matches just to see how much strength they have. It is not uncommon for us to see them fielding all the players in one match, from there we can see that their goal is to see the ability of an individual player and carry out many strategies to be applied later in the real match.
There are many cases where a team is very good in pre-season, but they are bad in the actual match. It is not uncommon for us to see teams that play badly in pre-season matches, but in actual matches they can play very well. That means they are not serious in pre-season.
Regarding betting, I also really avoid betting in pre-season, because the risk is very big because they don't play to the best of their abilities. In the past I have experienced many losses when betting on pre-season matches.

[Stable090]

I don't think we'll see Manchester United improve much with Ten Hag. We won't even see Manchester United in the top four of the table.

Maybe Manchester United will end the season in the position where they ended last season, or even worse. Everyone complained about injury problems that they had last season, that was why their performance was so poor, but the new season will soon be starting. Let’s wait and see what they will be complaining about this season, because I am not expecting any improvement from Manchester United. I am not expecting Manchester United to end the season in the top 5.

it. We have seen Manchester United's defenders playing badly. Even the performance of the attacking players was very erratic. ten Hag's match strategy was not good, Manchester United's understanding between the players was not good either. So I don't think this team will show any surprises next season.

Manchester United has to improve in every aspect, we saw how their performance dropped towards the end of last season. Ten Hag really has to change his strategy, if he doesn't, then United's performance will be worse this season.
