Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

It's interesting to discuss about how Ruud Gullit stated that if MU was the main problem why their club performed so poorly. he also mentioned some names who played better after they leave from there. I guess the truth is bitter, but i think i agree with his statement.
It's hard to deny the fact that MU's former players played better after they left from there. Just like mctominay who won his first scudetto with Napoli at his first season in Partinopei.

It's also hard to deny MU's also a place to kill someone's career. I hope they will re-evaluate themselves and have better approach in order to fix their problems. What do you guys think?

I'm starting to think what the actual problem is. Let's not forget that Chelsea had same problem for over two seasons, which lead to them changing managers for about three times. I can't even tell when this downfall started, but as far as i can remember, Ralf Rangnick suffered the same thing as Manchester united Interim manager, and it went on and on, until Amorim can in. I even thought that Amorim could amend things, but it seems the downfall is tougher than we think. This might be a managerial problem judging by the fact that these same players go out to other clubs to make exploit. Mctominay was even on the ballon d'or list after performing absolutely fine last season.

I think this current problem will definitely be a thing of the past, but they really need a very good manager. Amorim was given the task just because of how good he was at Sporting, but there is more to a good manager which i don't even know. Let's just give him time. I guess Arteta had a similar experience at Arsenal so Amorim's case shouldn't be different.

This statistics is still turning my stomach, just 7 wins in 29 premier league games. This is the worse statistics I have seen any manager get that's a coach of a top team. In 29 games there's no place where Manchester United has two winning streak. One win will attract 2 or 3 losses and draws before another win again.

Typical example of copy and paste merchants. All they do is go on football twitter and read all they know and post. They don't have a mind on their own. You can moan ans cry all day as you like on here, it's either you back the manager during hard times,  shut the hell up pr keep moaning and waffling like a cheap slvt. I dislike all these toxic wannabe Manchester United fans.

[Shadiq]

The information about the under performance of Manchester United did not start this season, the team has been struggling since last season imagine winning 7 games out of 29 matches under the manager Amorim and this season he got new players but the team is yet to achieve good results it is enough evidence to change the coach before he takes the team to relegation zone.

This is the biggest concern for Manchester United right now. They have been performing very badly since last season and are losing points regularly. The manager certainly cannot avoid the responsibility for this poor performance and cannot make any excuses. He has new players this season, but he is still failing. But why? Is it the players' problem? Or the manager's tactical problem? Either way, Manchester United need to solve it very quickly. Because the season has only just begun, they have enough opportunity and time to do something good in the league.

I think Ruud is quite right. When you see Antony at Betis becoming the player who lifts the whole club, and then McTominay — as you mentioned — being the best player in Serie A and bringing Napoli the title, it really says something. Rashford was also improving at Aston Villa, and now we’ll see him at Barça.

Maybe Højlund and Garnacho will be the next ones to leave — so we’ll see what happens with them.

But if Mbeumo and Cunha don’t step up this season, we’ll have to accept the reality that Man Utd is a career destroyer. I honestly think they are the root of the problem.

I definitely agree with this statement coming from Ruud gullit because the problem is not the quality of the players in Manchester United but the system that is in Manchester United if you stay in an environment that is not conducive for growth, there is something wrong with this United squad and until they fix it the club will definitely struggle and no matter how good a player is that comes to united will not perform very well

From the performance of Manchester United players that left Manchester United last season to join other clubs, I quite agree with Ruud Gullit to some point, but Ruud Gullit should know that the premier League is more difficult than the Serie A and La Liga, and players that flop in the Premier League can easily become a star in La Liga and Serie A, so I will not totally blame Manchester United for the poor performance of McTominay, Rashford, and Antony.

Yea, I think Ruud is right and very correct because all the players that have left Manchester united always do great I mean X of what they were doing in Manchester united and I know a lot of people have been wondering why too and lets forget about the fact that English league is very tough and strong because some players also do come from other leagues to England and do great so I think Manchester united case is so alarming. Can we say it is a spiritual problem? Because up till now I haven't still understand why it is always like this but I want to believe Amorim will recreate the team.

Amorim has to be the worst manager of MU in this century, isn't it? Digging deeper about the comparison between his stats and previous managers were enough to conclude how bad he is. He has lowest PPG, Lowest goals fore per 90m, and terrible GD. Idk why many keep defend him, while numbers never lie.

 We can't start putting too much expectations on Man UTD just yet. The season has just begun and it's not like they are the only ones who have not preformed well. Look at Newcastle too. They are yet to win as well. I just feel that we are placing too much expectations on Man UTD more than the other teams. So what if Man UTD signed much players that are yet to score? In their next match against Burnley maybe we'd see something different.
 Ruben Amorim is a good coach but as far as I'm concerned he hasn't balanced his strategies just yet and although the experiments he has been carrying out with his players have yet to pan out, I still reiterate that the season is still young and there is time to shut critics up.

It is difficult to understand how good a coach Amorim is, the team did not win anything with him, and finished last season right near the relegation zone, which can be considered their worst achievement in many years. The start of this season also shows that he did not prepare the team well in the offseason, because in two rounds they were able to get only 1 point and are already at the bottom of the table. We can say that it is too early to judge, but what will change if everything continues in the same way in 10 rounds, we want to believe that Manchester United will start winning, but what if not?

Given the new players Manchester United have bought and the fact that they've played only two games, they've lost one and drew the other one, I still believe Amorim should be given till December to see the combination of this new players they've bought and the outcome of things. The Last season's performance of near relegation zone was really hurtful for united and the fact that they lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur was another blow. Let's be watchful and hopeful that they will turn a new leaf by returning to winning ways.

This season is still young and the opportunity is still largely in the hands of the manager and the management to make. I really feel like the Manchester United is still disjointed for a very long time which couples with the injuries which the team have suffered alongside. I also heard several times the management's interference of the manager. It does not allow the manager to independently make his own decisions too which could be a factor of such claim is true. But Amorim needs to do better because to whom much is given, much more is expected. You cannot be a manager for the Red Devils and come back home with poor results, if the management does not give you heat, the fans will definitely do so because of the much expectations from them. This season is still young to start making judgements but fact is Manchester United didn't start on a good note.

Ten Hag left a completely destroyed Manchester united team. It was very hard  to recover from such a situation. Even then, Manchester united qualified for the Europa league final last season.

I am not supporting Amorim. I do not think he has done very well. Still, he needs to be given time this season. He has made some important changes. Especially in the attack, he has added talented players like Sesko, cunha and Mbeumo. Even after that, if Manchester United's attack performance is weak, it will definitely be considered Amorim's fault.

Manchester United failed in the first two matches. Despite playing well against Arsenal, they lost. And their performance against Fulham was also weak. The match ended 1- 1. Manchester United is going to face Burnley in the next match

I don't want to sound like I don't like Manchester United but can we even go back to how this started. Erik Ten Hag was doing badly, the team had the chance to bring new manager but they are like let's give it a wrong shot again maybe he will do better and when it wasn't doing well again, they decided to chase him out but the board decided to fool around again by bringing someone worse, same Sporting cp they have clear last season before then, they decided to chest Amorim for the task which is foolish.

I remember under Amorim contract, he said he need to brings some of his assistant to Manchester United if they want him to lead the team and the club agreed but right now, I don't think if those assistants are active, this is their moment of supports but there is nothing coming out from this move. Now, it keep getting worse and worse hopefully they don't end up chasing Amorim away and then bring another man that is going to be worse than him, the club need to be save ASAP.

I was not disappointed when Manchester lost to Arsenal in the first match, although a bit disappointing because clubs do not joke with home matches. But I was very disappointed that Fulham was able to equalized with Manchester United. Not only that, Manchester United was unable to score much goal is another thing. Some people posted when the season was about to start that Manchester United bought more players or something, but I posted that time that it does not mean, we should let the season begin first. And they do not surprised me at all with their disappointment.

I believe this, and I have always said it. The environment at Man United makes it difficult for players to succeed; the poor form of the team in these first two matches is the fault of the coach. They played well against Arsenal in the first match, and they lost narrowly. Instead of looking at that game and finding ways they were poor and getting better at it, he went to Fulham with an even worse tactic.

Amorim's setup was horrible. He has only two midfielders, and he took Bruno, who is one of the best Attacking midfielders in the world, to play as a central midfielder. Then he took Cuhna, who is a winger, to play as a striker while he has a 75 million striker sitting on the bench. To top everything up, he played Mount on the wing. They were lucky to get a point with that kind of setup.
If Amorim doesn't learn to use his best players in their best positions and play to the strength of the players, United will continue to suffer.

[ITExpert]

Manchester United has only won seven of their 29 matches. The manager needs to be criticized for this. Perhaps it wasn't fair to criticize him last year, but this year they haven't won a single match. They drew one and lost the other. This is why Manchester United is experiencing a worsening performance. They need to straighten out this downward spiral. Of course, this will require radical decisions and significant spending.

The reason is only our expectations towards the performance of Manchester United as they poorly failed to perform in the last season. But i personally think that in this season they deserve sometimes to cure themselves and heal their performance. It is true that they failed to win a single match in this season but they are not alone in this line. The stage they came from they need much to improve. Because now no other well player is in the situation to join the Manchester United. So they really need to develop their confidence first and try to make the things smooth for their improvements. And we really need to expect less according to their situation but I believe they will get success to resume their performance from their peak times.

This was a surprising result following how late Newcastle equalized and it would have been easier to have ruled the game off as a draw. Liverpool didn’t play at their best today, the red card was all it took to give them the advantage but even then, Newcastle was such a challenge in the end, they just were unable to take the lead or hold the game in a draw. Ekitike has gone to be such a force in Liverpool, has scored in both Liverpool games thus far.

It was a really great match, I really didn't expect Newcastle to compete so hard against Liverpool. The way Newcastle have performed against Liverpool this season, I will think twice before betting on Newcastle in the future. Considering that Liverpool have been playing good football recently, I had bet on Newcastle, that is, Liverpool, but at the last moment I didn't really think that the result would come in Liverpool's favor. When the 90 minutes were over, the result of the game was still a draw and at the very end of the game, Liverpool scored a goal to secure the team's victory, although the possibility of this goal was almost impossible. This match may be the most regrettable match for Newcastle this season because they played so well but ended up without taking any points.
Newcastle's performance can be called a challenge for other teams in the Premier League because they will also have such a tough competition against other teams.

I thought it was going to be an easy win for Liverpool but Newcastle gave them a good competition, even after getting a red card they were still able to equalize at the 88th minute into the game. If an extra 10 minutes or more wasn't added then the game would have ended as a draw. For Newcastle to be able to put up such a good performance against Liverpool means they are really going to be a challenge for other teams

In the main time, both teams may have wasted too much time, which is why an additional ten minutes of extra time was added here, but Liverpool came back to the match in a great way. However, in this Liverpool match, Liverpool's performance seemed random to me, at times Liverpool performed in such a way that it seemed that we were not watching the best club in the English Premier League, but rather we were watching the game of an ordinary club.
However, Liverpool's players themselves may also realize that they made mistakes, so they must work on those mistakes so that they do not make the same mistakes again in the future. If Liverpool can maintain their performance at the beginning, then I am sure they will perform well in the middle and end of the season.

I was suprised over the the added minutes and wondered if someone died on the pitch for such amount of time to be added then I thought the time wasting was the reason why, although other rival fans in my area are saying that the official robbed Newcastle and that they added more time to help Liverpool win knowing fully well that Newcastle were one man down and can't keep defending till the end.

 Well, it was a very Interesting match, Newcastle really name it tough for Liverpool they lacked a quality player like Isak if he was still in the team maybe, they might have scored more goals and equalize or even win, now I know why Liverpool board members are finding it difficult to move on from Isak.

I was thinking that Manchester United we do very well this season but the way things are going after seeing the first and second match they have played in premier League I really don't think that Manchester United can do anything more than what they are just doing now, however unless Manchester United puts more effort they will not perform better than they did last season Manchester United has good players and this players can even lift the premier League title if they are very determined are consistent so the coach should make sure that his players are doing their job, if Manchester United don't perform well this season then the coach should be sacked because they have given him all the necessary opportunity and tools for him to use and restore the thing but it did not work so I think a better person should be brought if after this season Manchester United did not perform very well as expected, the coach bought all players that he could think of buying so I see no reason why he should not use them to make the team one of the best.

What makes my more worried about Manchester Utd now is the reality that no one seems to know what will be the solution to this problem of poor performance that have enveloped the club. I was thinking that the combination of Sesko, Diallo and Cunha will constitute a killer squad for the team but I'm not seeing anything significant in their attacking. It will be very bad if they still fail this year that they have a very perfect blend of players and in which they gave the fans so much hope from the quality if players they signed.

It's also hard to deny MU's also a place to kill someone's career. I hope they will re-evaluate themselves and have better approach in order to fix their problems. What do you guys think?

Yes, I personally quite agree with that statement. Because it's true, after Manchester United left Sir Alex, Manchester United really changed into a very poor team. I think Manchester United's decline in performance certainly can't be blamed solely on the players or the coach. But basically, Manchester United's management is probably the one to blame. Because they are the ones who organize everything and determine the recruitment of coaches and players, as well as the provision of facilities. So with that in mind, I think it's true that Manchester United is currently a team that is causing its players to perform poorly.

Perhaps because the team management really doesn't provide truly supportive access. Furthermore, at Manchester United, we often hear of players having tensions with their coach. I think that really is a sign that Manchester United is currently not a team with high solidarity. So with that in mind, it's natural that Manchester United is currently struggling to recover from its slump. Because basically, the main problem Manchester United currently faces is its management itself. So in my personal opinion, if Manchester United wants to rise again quickly, I think they should replace their entire management team and replace them with a better management team.

I myself have thought of this long ago I just thank God that these legends are viewing in at my own angle too, Manchester United is really the problem, either from the management or somewhere else I really believe something is not right at that club imagine Sancho at Dortmund he was the talk of Dortmund fans and even the world at large then he moved down to Manchester United and flop went to Chelsea for a loan suddenly turned to something else now back to Manchester United still not to write home about, now that the problem seems to have been coming from the management how is the problem going to be solved, like Manchester United is really not what it use to be, something has to be done.

When a player or coach is been overhyped and praise a lot he will perform poor, I can remember clearly when Manchester United was praising and hyping Eric ten hag when he came to the club then he came and what happen he had a poor coaching tenor as a coach in his career ever, he performed poorly and then what they sacked him, then there came Ruben Amorim which was overhyped also by the Manchester United fans but up till now we have not still see any difference out of what Eric Ten Hag left in the club but let me not assume so fast he might and he might not do well.

You can see his statistics there he has more loss than combining his win and draw together.

[AirtelBuzz]

Manchester United is struggling in the new season's Premier League because it has already been observed that this team, after losing to Arsenal in the first match, drew against Fulham in the second match. But today we see that in the second round of the EFL Cup, this team conceded two goals against Grimsby Town before the first half of the game had even ended. If this team is faced with such a situation against such weak teams then there are many strong teams waiting for them in this new season of the Premier League so how influential can they be in that round?

In this EFL Cup match, everyone can see that Manchester United has arranged their attack around Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha. My idea With the combined efforts of these two players, perhaps the results shouldn't have been so bitter from the start but in this match Grimsby Town may have found a weak spot in the Man United defence.

It would be foolish to expect anything good from Manchester United based on the performance we saw in the first two matches. I don't understand if they bought some players this season or if it was just to console the fans. They brought three players to their club this season so I thought these three players might perform well and they would play a good role in the club's victory but they didn't perform significantly well. Now many may say that they are new to the club so it will take them a lot of time to adapt to the club but I don't like the idea of a good player taking time. Even then if these three players had played well then our opinion of them would have changed a little bit after seeing their performance in the first two matches but I didn't feel anything different after seeing their game.
