Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Dzwaafu11]

I don't understand why every plan and moves that United have made in orded to redeem the team is not working despite all their efforts. Maybe, they haven't gotten the right coach to make the right decisions and players who are capable of transforming the team. If United end in a poor position this season, United wouldn't be patient anymore with him.

Amorim should try a new formation to see his players develop, as a three-man defense typically isn't strong enough to withstand any opponent's attacks. I don't see any fault in the players, as most players who leave Manchester United can develop well and even score goals immediately for other teams. The players currently at Manchester United are good players. So, Amorim must be willing to change the team's formation if he wants to see change, especially with a formation like that where their every move is immediately read by every opponent.

When Amorim got signed, I thought Manchester United's struggle was over. But no, seriously, they are still getting worse, and Amorim needs to do something about that because Manchester United have tried many different methods to see that this club is back to normal, but it still doesn’t work out. That is why I said they need to execute a new method in order to make things better for them.

It won’t be funny if Manchester United is getting worse under the management of Amorim; even if another coach comes in, it will be the same because of the way this club is running. I have started thinking that difficulty is increasing.

Manchester United fans are (..)

I think that as a coach, if he continues at this rate he won't last long on that bench.
Maybe he still needs to gain experience and can't manage such a complex team. After all, is only been coaching for four years, so it makes sense. i don't know why, but he seemed like a capable person to me.

[Rgram]

Amorim has a lot to do, and this is a very difficult task for him, especially with the immense pressure he faces when he loses, which makes his job even more difficult.
I've seen Amorim make several changes to his players and formation, but the results haven't improved. So, I think it's better for Amorim to start the process slowly over a long period and build the team he wants. Manchester United's management must support this, otherwise this team will never recover.

I really don’t think Manchester United’s problem right now is about the coach. If you really think about it, how many coaches do they want to bring in before things start getting better? Let's remember Amorim was flying at Sporting CP before he came to Manchester United. The same with Ten Hag.He was doing a fantastic job at Ajax. Even some of the players that United fans used to criticize are doing well at their new clubs. To me, that just shows the problem at United is way bigger than what we see on the surface. It’s not really about the formation or tactics been used by Amorim.

Manchester United fans are already complaining about Amorim

and yes unfortunately the team is not doing well at all, 4 points in 4 games is truly a disappointing score and therefore the fans are rightly angry, paying a season ticket to see such a disgrace is not a good thing
I think it can't get any better at the moment unless they change something.

When you look at Manchester United stat since Amorim join the club, it has been very poor, and the big problem is there was a lot of expectations from him, regarding to his performance at sporting. A very huge number of Manchester United have been disappointed not just by the results but also by the team performance.

Another big issue is that Amorim have had issues with a lot of players since joining them, and now he is about to lose their Academy talent Kobbie Maino, I just hope he doesn’t leave.

Manchester United needs to start Identifying their problems and then solve them, as a football fan I would say they need to bring solutions to their defensive side, new Defensive midfield and a good center back at least they can start from there.

I was thinking Manchester United bought players before this season started? Or is it just like the time of Paul Pogba when they have such a good player from France but they failed to deliver. The club has really gotten worse and it is a club people should avoid to bet on. Alex Ferguson really helped the club when he was the manager but things go south for them when he was no more their manager. Even Jose Mourinho was unable to do something good for the club.

I knew this present coach will not do very well one thing that some people don't understand is that when the coach is good it starts from the moment he enters the club Amorim was not good last season and they were saying it is because players he is using are not the ones he want however after last season he bought a lot of players and still the club is not moving forward they are still not doing well and the reason for this their performance is the coach Manchester United should look for a very good coach a coach that can carry the club very well like Sir Alex Ferguson.
With the present players in Manchester United they are supposed to be doing very well because they have good players in the club so I really don't know what is the problem but for me I believe the coach is the problem and should be sacked immediately, the fans has right to complain because the club is not doing well.

[Webetcoins]

City getting the win wasn't surprising to anyone. I know they looked not so great for a while but that doesn't mean that we are seeing a bad result, it's just not that big of a deal, and that is why there isn't really any bad results at all. We should be considering how things could change with City after this game, they could consider this as a big deal. This is why I believe that we should be able to get a better approach to this, and be a lot more winning.

Pep will use this momentum from this win to pump the players and get the better result. If they can keep doing that, then they are going to get back to top places in no time again. They do not have a bad squad neither, they should be able to get some good results.

[Gallar]

No one could have really expected Manchester United to experience such difficult times even though they used to be an elite club that always competed at the top and competed for the title in the Premier League but now they are struggling to stay in the top 5 and their performance is increasingly disappointing fans every season that has not improved. Ruben Amorim has emphasized that he remains with his system but I feel that the system given is not suitable and ultimately this club is difficult to develop it yes I think the club needs to take firm action to fire him if he does not provide changes for the better so that the coach can also try harder to improve performance.

Yes, I don't think anyone expected a team like Manchester United to experience such a prolonged period of difficulty. Why do I say prolonged difficulty? It's because since Manchester United parted ways with their best coach, Sir Alex, Manchester United's performance has really declined significantly. Since then, Manchester United has always been unlucky, whether in the context of bringing in new coaches or new players. So, with that in mind, I think Manchester United is currently facing quite complex problems. Because I think everyone in charge at Manchester United is mostly unable to work well. Because I've heard that Manchester United's current sports facilities have not been replaced with more sophisticated sports equipment.

If I'm not mistaken, the person who said that was Ronaldo. So, with that in mind, I think Manchester United is indeed having problems in almost every aspect. And regarding Amorim, I don't think he's capable of getting Manchester United back on its feet, but if, for example, firing him now, I don't think that's a good idea. Since searching for a new manager in the middle of the season isn't a good idea, I don't think it's a good idea and will only worsen the team's performance. Therefore, I think Manchester United should be patient with the current manager, at least until the winter break.

[KTChampions]

If you guys are still defending Amorim as MU's coach. I dunno what to say to you guys. Having the worst stats^{(below 40% wins percentage)} ever in the history of MU is one of horrible achievement. I'm sure he's not going to get better from here. His stubbornness and ego can’t be changed. He signed the players to play the system he wants to play, but still doesn't work
so no reason for the club to wait for another transfer windows for him to fix it. The better for them to rip off their wound, sack him and find a new manager who has enough exp to handle their club. I'm not saying he's bad, but not a right man for the job.

I don't want to defend him, I'm not sure it's adequate   But still, if these statistics include last season, then these statistics are irrelevant, since last season he was allowed to sacrifice results in order to rebuild the team. You could say the win percentage is even lower this season (25 haha), but I still suggest waiting a few more games to draw any conclusions. Although, perhaps as a United fan, I'm still in denial/self-delusion mode   It seems that this is exactly the case, because if you think rationally, United should never be that low in terms of points percentage and have a negative goal difference.

Their most obvious problem is that the players don't match the strategy chosen by the coach, and Amorim was even asked to change his philosophy, but he insisted on his stance and does not feel afraid if he has to be fired. With a new system and so many new players who come to Old Trafford, it is clear that it requires adaptation, which will take some time. But the question is, will they really be patient enough to wait for the process?

I think Man United is having a very serious problem, and it's not just because of the new coach or the new system, but it also concerns the incompetent management and of course, the boss (the Glazers family), who is indeed problematic.

Exactly, Ruben Amorim is a very Rigid kinda manager, we have seen manager played in this formation and prosper in the premier league but it not done in this fashion. I remembered when Antonio conte first came to England and coach Chelsea he was also using the 3 back line formation but it worked because Chelsea at that time was having the kind of player that suites to his forms

Alex Ferguson really helped the club when he was the manager but things go south for them when he was no more their manager. Even Jose Mourinho was unable to do something good for the club.

It's almost impossible to see what the real problem is at Manchester United because they've done so much to try to improve things. Changing managers and buying several players who were thought to help the team develop haven't had a positive effect, so nothing has changed at all. The current manager is also very stubborn, refusing to change the strategy of relying on three defenders, even though that strategy doesn't work at all.

Since Ferguson retired, the club has lost its identity, and it's very difficult to find the right manager. If this situation continues, there's concern that Manchester United could be relegated. This isn't impossible, as their performance last season almost happened.

I remembered when Antonio conte first came to England and coach Chelsea he was also using the 3 back line formation but it worked because Chelsea at that time was having the kind of player that suites to his formation and all he had to to was sign a couple of players and he won the league.
Thomas Tuchel also did with Chelsea and won them the champions league, super cup and the club World Cup. You have to have that kind of players to make this formation work and I don’t see those kind of player in Manchester United currently. What piss me off most is that he don’t even signs that kind of player that makes me question does he even have a clue about what he is doing.

As for the patience I don’t think Manchester United fans have that right now, they want to see their club back to where it actually belong in no time. It Ruben philosophy doesn’t work this season I guess he would have to leave the club.

[Dickiy]

I also wonder why?I personally think he's not worthy to be defended. The good is that as per the latest rumor he has 3 games to prove his worthiness. if his club still perform badly, he will be axed from the club. We have Glasner, Pochettino or even SouthGate to be a potential candidate to replace him.

These are clear signs that Amorim isn't the right man to manage Man Utd. After all, Man Utd has given him plenty of time, and things still look the same (no improvement since the start of this new season). Honestly, my gut tells me that if management doesn't act soon, a similar ending to last season could happen to Man Utd.

[Jatiluhung]

The players currently at Manchester United are good players. So, Amorim must be willing to change the team's formation if he wants to see change, especially with a formation like that where their every move is immediately read by every opponent.

Although Amorim has actually experimented quite a bit since last season, there's no harm in trying something new that hopefully better suits the players' criteria. I think it's crucial for a coach to place players in positions where they feel most comfortable. Some of the strategies Amorim employed last season actually worked for this team. Unfortunately, Amorim then changed them in other matches and things worsened again. Amorim may need to be more flexible, and I hope he also tries a new formation that worked for this team last season. I forget which week it was, but it worked for a few matches.

I’m eager to hear what you guys think about Onana’s performance yesterday’s game. I didn’t watch the full game, I only watched the highlights on YouTube and I saw Onana made some interesting saves but I can’t speak on his overall performance in the game. I want to know if Manchester United was the problem or is Onana just a bad goalie.

He had some good games at United too, but for a goalkeeper consistency is more important than a few bright games (for forwards it's the other way around), so we need to wait for some statistically relevant sample. I think at least 10 games are needed to see how he will show himself. In fact, I understand that United is a real problem in the case of many players who have rotted there, but I doubt that the mistakes he made playing at United can be somehow justified.

I do not think this game he did alright was a fluke, like the decent games he had at United. It was more about how any player who leaves United ends up getting better results. This is why it's clear that we are going to see them all do fine, including Onana. Just look at their transfers, I do not remember any player that left United and got worse.

There is something at United, no idea what it is, but something there, which makes the whole team bad. Managers, goalkeepers, defenders, midfields, attackers, like something is wrong. I have no idea how that could be fixed. Onana will do great on his new team, and United needs to sell both Glazers and INEOS shares to someone else and get a totally new owner, we need to see how that would do.

[Shadiq]

Honestly, my gut tells me that if management doesn't act soon, a similar ending to last season could happen to Man Utd.

Yes you are right, Amorim has had enough time to prove himself but has not made any significant improvement. Even the start of the new season has not been good at all. I am not in favour of giving Amorim more time, but rather expecting a big change from the United management. If they do not take action very soon then I do not see them improving. Amorim has not proved himself at all with United. If he wants to stay with the team then he must make a comeback with the team and bring the team back to consistency.

[Albarq]

I don't see any fault in the players, as most players who leave Manchester United can develop well and even score goals immediately for other teams. The players currently at Manchester United are good players. So, Amorim must be willing to change the team's formation if he wants to see change, especially with a formation like that where their every move is immediately read by every opponent.

In this case, Amorin needs to try new things in the formation strategy, yes, there is nothing wrong with looking at current developments to change the formation style, at least it can change the direction of the game for the better, because that way it is difficult for the opponent to read the movements of his players. I think it is difficult to convince Amorin about the formation, because he sees the success he got from past experiences.

Onana will do great on his new team, and United needs to sell both Glazers and INEOS shares to someone else and get a totally new owner, we need to see how that would do.

Regardless of whether it was a fluke or not, we just have to wait and see if he can maintain his performance like he did in his debut a while back or not, because after all, we can't judge Onana's previous mistakes at Manchester United based solely on his impressive performance in one game.

We know that Manchester United is currently performing poorly, which has caused the players' performance to decline, including Onana's. However, we cannot blame everything on the club or the players because the previous decision was made by mutual agreement. It is important for the players, especially those who have experienced what Onana has, to learn from this so that they do not sacrifice everything, including their performance, just because they are playing for a great club.
Additionally, I believe this impressive performance is understandable given the significant difference in the level of competition, so it is only fair that he receives such recognition.
