Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

Manchester United vs Grimsby was the only game holding my cash-out,I wasn't just disappointed but extremely angry because I ended up loosing my bets all because a Billion pounds squad couldn't deliver me for that day. I have lost a huge bet for adding Manchester United on my slip, oh how i wish I knew I would have avoided this game entirely. Reuben Amorim is sitting on a time bomb that could explode at him earlier that expected,he may be sack before the half of the season if Manchester United continues loosing important games like this again. Reuben Amorim has the opportunity of building his own squad by signing new players of his own choice,so they is no excuse for him anymore if he fails to perform this season.

If you value your money, I would advise you to stop betting on Manchester United for now. They are in a position where they can lose to any team. I was really surprised by the result against Grimsby and it was very disappointing. I expected Manchester United to win easily and it would be a big loss. But they lost to a team that was several times weaker than them. This proves once again that betting is not entirely based on statistics, it also requires luck.

I think Ruben Amorim's departure has already begun due to yesterday's loss. Maybe he will get a few more games and if he doesn't do something good there, I don't see him at Manchester United.

The surprising thing in that Manchester United encounter against Grimsby Town is the fact that, Manchester United played with their full squad, like the newly signed big boys they've all been singing about, but then I wouldn't want to blame them too much because this is the game of football where anything can happen, but the big question is, if Manchester United squad cannot successfully win a lower Division team like Grimsby Town with ease, then which team in the EPL can they win.

Who still remembers the EPL Legendary commentator, in the person of Peter Drury? He once said this about Manchester United jokingly "Manchester united is the most consistent team, one win in August, one win in September, one win in October, one win in November and one win in December. its just like a menstrual cycle!! if they don't win in January know that they are pregnant". The month of August will end on Sunday and Manchester United has one more match to play, if they lose or draw it then lol.

Manchester united really disappoint alot of people yesterday both the fans, you needed to see how people were complaining in the game hall where I went to see this Match I was also disappointed because I'm also a fan. I was actually thinking that manchester united would make a change this season but Is as if things is even getting more worst for them, you know when i checked the scores I was thinking that maybe they reserved some players. But when I checked the lineup I noticed that they make use of all the players, I most say that this is the worst losing ever for manchester united.

[Albarq]

honestly and sincerely look, i think manchester united's problem goes beyond onana
It's been a really bad team for about 3 or 4 years, especially if we look at its glorious past history.
I don't understand why they don't understand that something is wrong and that we need to cut and rebuild and not patch things up.

It is not as easy as it seems to fix this to become a reliable team, and Manchester United has optimized their abilities even though Onana was replaced with Bayindir but the quality that was expected has not been seen. and the players find it difficult with the formation that has been set, of course, this is something that needs to be discussed when making this decision.

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.

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.

The problem of Manchester United is going beyond ordinary at that moment when they think they sorted the major issues dragging them back, things begin to get worst. Who would believe that the combination of Sesko Cunha and Mbeumo that scored many goals in their previous clubs is yet to score a goal for Manchester United, it's so frustrating as a fan.

After Manchester United lost to Arsenal and drew with Fulham, I thought it was because Manchester United had new players in their squad and they needed time to understand themselves and play like a team. When Manchester United failed to beat Grimsby Town yesterday, it was obvious the problem of Manchester United was going beyond ordinary. It's surprising y Manchester United couldn't  defeat weak Grimsby Town even with Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Šeško, Mathew Cunha in their squad.

[Adbitco]

Throwback to May 2021 after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finished second on the table with his Manchester United side. He stood in front of the Old Trafford faithfuls and apologised to them for them finishing second. He said, "I know we are not where we want to be in the league" those were his fee words. I still remember too when Mourinho finished second too and he said it was his biggest achievement. It's now that most people will understand what these men ment back then.

I remember that and always like when he's doing satire to the MU. He says about the truth if MU is rarely winning the game. It's also hard for MU just to back to back win. If MU keeps miss points and unable to win at least until the end of this year, and they have not yet sacked their manager.
I can't even imagine if he still keeps him. A risky decision must be taken in order to bounce the club again.

I don't wanna see MU to always finish at the bottom half in any season. They must be competitive.

[KTChampions]

Considering that Grimsby is a fourth-division team, in my opinion, any Manchester United squad should have beaten them. But they couldn’t even get past the first round of the Cup, and that’s terrible. I looked at the lineups, Amorim played a demotivated Onana, with whom he has a conflict and who is planning to leave the team before the end of summer. I think that was a very wrong decision. Yes, I agree that it shows what was already clear, it seems to me that Amorim will leave the team soon.

I don't think there's any point in changing the coach again in the middle of the season. Even if it's a lost season, well, let it be that way. We need to let Amorim work until the end, maybe his plan will start to be realized? I don't really believe in it, but it won't be worse than last season. United's next game is at home to Burnley and if they don't take 3 points here (bookies are pricing this outcome at 1.37) then I just don't know what to expect next.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Man UTD lost against a 4th division side has been making the headline and it has every news talking about them. Amorim as the manager said the formation isn't the problem while I think the 3-4-3 formation is the problem and I feel that might be the issue because I noticed the midfielders of UTD are too slow for that formation and they need players like that of Conte when he managed Chelsea and won the EPL, Ngolo Kante, Victor Moses and some of the midfielders that was very fast are in that team but when you check the squad of UTD you'd noticed that some players are not up to speed with that formation that's why Amad even Bruno too and some of the players had to struggle. I feel Amorim need to change the formation he is using and see if there will be a change, what do you think on this about the formation issue, will a change of formation bring them back to winning ways?

[Ahli38]

Grimsby Town defeated Manchester United, it's really embarrassing.
Ruben Amorim apologized to the fans for the defeat, I thought it wouldn't mean anything, as the fans were already deeply disappointed with Manchester United performance.
Onana career appears to be over at Old Trafford, he's completely unreliable in any situation. It's hard to pinpoint what went wrong for Manchester United, they'll be lucky if they avoid relegation this season in the Premier League.

Manchester United's defeat against Grimsby Town was very embarrassing. It is only right for Amorim to apologize when he has actually made a mistake like this. In this match Manchester United failed to deliver a solid performance across all lines. Their defense looked disorganized when the first goal was scored, allowing Grimsby Town players space to pass and shoot. The same was happened for the second goal, where Manchester United defenders let three Grimsby Town players get into open positions in front of the goal and managed another score. This team really seems to have lost its way, lacks motivation, and is always inconsistent in its play. This can only be fixed if they do a series of good teamwork exercises so they can perform well in defense. So I think this will have a very good impact on Manchester United if their defense is improved. Because this greatly affects the forwards, who have to rotate between each other when their team is under attack. But I personally don't see this as a personal mistake, but rather a lack of solidarity between the players.

However Ruben Amorim as Manchester United coach cannot allow this to continue. Fans need further proof from Amorim that he can deliver the best performance to bring back the glory of Manchester United. Not just an apology. So that it will provide a performance that is worth watching and being proud of.

Who else should take the blame, it is the responsibility of both players and management to become accountable for a low performance. When we talk about teams with good history in the Premier League, we would be counting them among the top teams with the best stat, now Manchester United is handled by incompetent management and players, unable to defeat Grimsby Town playing in a lower division. In the Premier League, Manchester United have lost one and drew the second week, everything doesn't look favoring, it has been a long time of bad performance in the club and they don't know yet the remedy after spending on new coach and big signings.

[adultcrypto]

Seeing the goals conceded by Manchester United i think it's over for Onana, they are likely getting another goalie and Onana either way is being sold or left out.

This is the best for the club currently and sacking Amorim isn't a good idea, at least we can say they likely won't relegate with the kind of squad they have now which is better than last season own.
Seriously, I'm shot of words here and don't really know who or where to point fingers as regards the nonsense that's happening to Manchester United. Yes, Onana is something else but the two premier league games he didn't play, the club still didn't win any and he wasn't even in the lineup. So this is just beyond Onana been the problem. Just imagine, losing against a League two team, that's the height of this nonsense display from tis Manchester United side.

honestly and sincerely look, i think manchester united's problem goes beyond onana
It's been a really bad team for about 3 or 4 years, especially if we look at its glorious past history.
I don't understand why they don't understand that something is wrong and that we need to cut and rebuild and not patch things up.

I like the last sentence of your comment because it is looking like that is the problem. They have been patching the club for long now and there is no good result to match the efforts. I still cannot understand why a team will spend around $200 million this season to sign players yet still struggling to win just one match. What the club need now is complete overhauling so they can start rebuilding the team from scratch. I don't know if the management would agree to use that approach.

It goes behind Onana but at least let's start the blame game from one particular person. Goalkeepers are the soul bond to every successful matches, if your Goalkeeper can handle any pressure, defenders can do better because they will have confidence on the last man to work better with the front lines. If the defenders and the goalkeeper can.dl their job, trust me it's going to be very easy for the rest of the players to do better job unless the forward players are incompetent which everyone will see.

Manchester United need a complete purge of players, look back again and tell me the major transformation of players that has happen in Manchester United. It's the same recycle incompetent players that we have had for some many season that are been mixed up with new ones. I wouldn't doubt if this decision of buying and selling of ayers is not done by manager, Amorim is not ready for this team, the earlier they realized this mistake the better they make some adjustments while it's still early.

You are right, their problem goes beyond just one person, they have actually been a terrible team for a long time but it's completely disappointing that they started off this new season with a bad record. The manager needs to be changed and the team needs to be reformed, there are lots of changes that needs to be made but sadly nothing is been done to tackle the issues on ground, let's keep on watching.

I agree Manchester united has a problem beyond onana but he is a very vital part of it and cannot be ignored or not mentioned when the issues Manchester United has is been mentioned, he has become too consistent with his incompetence and cannot be ignored, he makes mistakes too often and he is not even flexible enough to make some good reflexes when needed as a keeper, he only very occasionally turned out outstanding after which for the longest he is usually very poor with his performance along side the weak defence.

[IjawMan]

Amorim coaching system is flexible and easily predictable. His 3-4-3 formation is not working, making him fix his players in wrong positions. You'll have to have a defensive midfielder in the likes of Nkolo Kante for you to have a formation of that type working fine for you. Manchester United lacks such a good defensive midfielder at the moment. Considering what happened yesterday moral of the clubs fans who has been excusing R. Amorim for all what happened last season has been down for a fourth tier team to ridicule Manchester United.

Their best performance was only in the 20/21 edition because they were able to compete closely with Man City and when handled by Mourinho in 2016 after that there was nothing more to be proud of from them, who knows what is actually wrong with that big team, it has been more than a decade without any signs of revival until now, maybe it's time to overhaul the whole thing including the owner, maybe that's where Man Utd problem lies all this time.

[bitgolden]

Was there really any point in betting on 1.15 odds for a Manchester United win? I think it was pointless anyway, even if they had an easy victory. And before the match, you could have just looked at the starting lineup that Amorim set for this game. Even without considering that this is a lower-division team, it’s still a cup match, and who knows how the team would prepare for it? Of course, Manchester United was supposed to beat Grimsby easily and confidently. This loss only shows that Manchester United’s problems haven’t gone away.

Only game wasn't United's game last night, people did put them in there for parlay because of the odds getting bigger thanks to it. Just United game doesn't make sense that part is true, it doesn't really feel like it's a big deal, but when you are talking about something bigger, like a lot larger, where you play 5-6 games, and then adding United game made sense.

Moreover, in all seriousness, we shouldn't have seen United lose to a fourth division level team, that makes no sense at all. It happens only in games and such, this isn't fifa and we shouldn't play that different. I am pretty sure that Amorim will quit, I know that it's going to be tough, and finding a manager this early into the season will be hard, but United has to realize this isn't working.

Who still remembers the EPL Legendary commentator, in the person of Peter Drury? He once said this about Manchester United jokingly "Manchester united is the most consistent team, one win in August, one win in September, one win in October, one win in November and one win in December. its just like a menstrual cycle!! if they don't win in January know that they are pregnant". The month of August will end on Sunday and Manchester United has one more match to play, if they lose or draw it then lol.

That was a joke he made when making his random comments but it looks like it is happening in the club. The performance of the club is not encouraging fans any more. In last season it was said the coach and the coach was changed yet nothing good happened in the team and the fans said, the new coach has to understand the team members and it is from this season that the team will do well. But what they are showing here is not different from the last season performance.
Big question, who is not doing well in the team? The players or the coach again? I strongly believe the players and Ruben Amorim needs to bring in good strikers.
Chelsea was once like this but it is no more.

Yeah you're right the problem is very huge that it goes beyond Onana and the players for real. For years now the team has been struggling even when the players they had was far better than this ones and still no changes. They had Pogba and even Ronaldo came but couldn't solve their problems that means the problem is not the players and it goes beyond them. Onana can't be blamed for the teams problem but he also contribute to it as he is not helping matters at all. His silly mistakes are what makes everyone thinks he is the teams problem  but I still don't think things will change easily if only Onana is replaced, things needs to be tackled from the root to get better.
