Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[ndutndut]

Rashford's situation is kinda tricky in my opinion. He took pay cut for Barca. But they have given Gordon more priority, lol. Now under Carrick he could return to form if he return to United and get regular playing time. You know, he is still a premier league quality player on his day.

However United should not be suffering from nostalgia anymore. Squad rebuilding should be their main target now. I do not see any point in forcing another pointless reunion. It could flop again. So if good offer come I think selling him would be better decision. At least 30 million+ offer.

After a decent season at Barça, I think that Rashford will be welcomed with open arms. He was missed this season, and if he had stayed at Man Utd under Carrick, he would have flourished—and that is what will happen this season. Yes, they need a squad rebuild, but I think that the wing position where Rashford plays is not the priority.

It seems Rashford will return to Manchester United, especially since no other team has shown serious interest in him so far. Manchester United recently contacted Rashford and inquired about his readiness to join Carrick's squad, and Rashford confirmed the offer. It's safe to say both parties are open to restarting the process to bring Rashford back into the team.

This is also evident in the absence of rumors about Manchester United signing a new winger, meaning Rashford will be part of Michael Carrick project next season. If Rashford does return, I think the biggest challenge will remain the same, consistency. I've seen Rashford have periods where he looks like one of the deadliest wingers in Europe then the following season his performance drops so drastically that people wonder. This will also be Carrick job to keep Rashford at his best.

[Pandu Geddon]

He might return to United, but when it comes to playing time, I think it will all depend on Carrick. He will know the team's needs better and which players are more ready for the strategy being played.
I also think returning to United doesn't necessarily mean the team will trust him again. Rashford has to show that he is capable. Or he could choose another club that suits him better.

Yes all this ones are just formality from the Manchester United management, to at least make him believe he's welcome to the club so he could perform well if given the chance to play, because he's really betrayed the club by spilling nonsense, and again whom is he going to bench? Can he bench Cunha? So he should just come back and warm the bench maybe any day he has the chance to play he should thank his star, and Michael Carrick should be mindful of him because he might as well scatter the dressing room.

I hope he won't cause problems like that in the team. After all, United has worked hard enough to get out of a bad situation. The coaching change and player overhaul have already been done. Fans are starting to get excited for next season's competition, let's not let everyone get disappointed because of problems caused by a player.

[Derekfunds]

I wouldn't blame anyone for that but blame Rashford who chose not to be serious with his career. He was paid heavily and his performance isn't up to half of the pay he recieves. Do you expect the fans to start clapping for him or cheer him up instead, he will be lashed with critics. Rashford future is in his hands.

I don't see Rashford as a player who could be in danger or who could never play again, i think he's a professional and another team that is willing to accept him will certainly find him, i don't think he's in danger or that he has any particular concerns, this is the idea i have.

What do you mean by danger? Rashford is already doing well in Barcelona so I don't even know why he's saying he wants to return back to Manchester united after leaving the team in a critical condition, I will suggest or advise he just stay there in Barcelona because I don't think he will do great in Manchester united again and secondly he has been replaced by some players already also the Barcelona he is, if Raphinha is not in injury he won't start match.

The young squad gives Arsenal the solid foundation to compete for the premier league again because young players often improve together over time and when they stay together they build team chemistry and connections and they are certainly one of the strengths of Arsenal today. But if arsenal is aspiring to win the premier league title back to back, it's not going to be easy for them because they will need to keep improving a d make important decisions and changes where necessary with maintaining the level of performance that makes them successful in the previous season of the premier league. For Manchester city, changing a manger like pep is a major challenge because even as  quality players, it will be difficult for them to adapt quickly to another manager's ideas and philosophy to bring out the consistent results they have been producing in previous times. So they will need them to adapt. I will still not write Manchester city off completely because they have top level players and they are one of the major contenders of the premier league title now and I know other teams will also arise to make the competition more competitive.

Arsenal certainly have the opportunity to create a solid foundation now from which to build for next season and create a very strong environment.
has a good chance of winning the English Premier League again and of reaching the top of the Champions League and he proved it by managing to tame the very strong Paris Saint-Germain in a direct match.

Why is everybody making my man rashford look like a bad player or something, rashford is a good player if anyone rejects him I will definitely want him to go to Chelsea  he's highly welcome there. probably Manchester United might not need him and if they are open to sell him I definitely want Chelsea to have rashford. Are you guys forgetting when he dominated in Manchester United and as the matter of fact his performance in Barcelona was good as well.

Rashford has had a good time at Barcelona and has performed well for Barcelona. I think he should get a team and get enough playing time. But I don't know why no one is interested in Rashford. Chelsea could be a good destination for him. Even Chelsea need a good LWF, Rashford could be a good choice there. His next season depends on Manchester United, if they want to keep him, how they use him will be the main thing. If they don't need him, then they should sell him. His popularity has already increased a bit after playing for Barcelona, ​​if he performs well at Chelsea, his popularity will increase even more. He is also performing well in the current World Cup.

Nobody wants a player existing in past performance, what he did last time at Manchester United will not help the team in the present, Rashford was a very promising player years back at Manchester United, but unfortunately that is not the same performance we get from him, the expectations were high but he didn't meet up.

Rashford have convincing to do in this World Cup and next season, before he can be valued for a significant amount and wanted by the majority of English clubs that will pick interest in him.

[moneystery]

So he should just come back and warm the bench maybe any day he has the chance to play he should thank his star, and Michael Carrick should be mindful of him because he might as well scatter the dressing room.

A player like Rashford is more deserving of a place on the bench. He's unworthy of a place in the starting squad, given his lack of gratitude at Manchester United. So, if Carrick wants to play him, he could play fewer minutes or, if necessary, be transferred to another club that's more interested in him.
Furthermore, we've already seen the chemistry between the players at Manchester United and the much-improved situation. Rashford's arrival would only derail the situation if forced. Furthermore, fans are already quite disappointed with his statements. Therefore, he should be kept out of the starting squad and only rotated when necessary.

Rashford is an excellent player and am sure Manchester United would need his services despite the fact that he is having problems with the club but it's crazy that makus Rashford has such a beautiful season with Barcelona but yet the club failed him by not agreeing to sign him permanently claiming the money was too but we all know that same Barcelona club that refuse to signed him then looked at another English player and then spent same money that they said they don't have to spare

I know why not many teams are interested in Rashford, it seems they cannot meet the salary demands he is seeking. However, Rashford’s situation is slightly different at Barcelona , as he is even willing to take a pay cut in order to play for them, but if it were any team other than Barcelona, Rashford would still want a big salary. Meanwhile, for Manchester United , it is not just his huge salary that is a real problem , as there is a rumour that Rashford has behaviour that has left them fed up and keen to offload him. If a player like this were to return to Old Trafford , it is quite possible that the atmosphere in the dressing room would once again become less harmonious.

If a player like this were to return to Old Trafford , it is quite possible that the atmosphere in the dressing room would once again become less harmonious.

For players whose matches are unstable, Rashford is certainly a consideration when Manchester United sees all of that and evaluates him because if they want a big salary, it must be in accordance with his performance, even though Rashford has the advantage of having attacking abilities, but if he is not consistent, it can cause his career to be hampered in the future.

[slapper]

Yes, if Man United still plans to integrate Rashford into the team, then they don't learn anything.. because he has said several times that he is not interested in playing at Man United, and prefers Barca and wants to stay there. Now Man United has qualified in the Champions League, and he said he is interested in playing in the team. it's like licking his own spit. it's better for Man United to sell him to another club than to reintegrate him in my opinion.

That means Rashford is not after being with Manchester United at there thick and thin, so actually Manchester United should not also accept him because he is not coming with his whole heart and he could also change his mind if Manchester United doesn't qualify on the next champions league, how is he even reasoning the whole thing because the champions League that is changing his mind is also the same champion league Barcelona is and they gave him chance to be in the first squad of Barcelona so what is he expecting from Manchester United on the champions League?. The right offer is definitely what is holding Manchester United but definitely he would be sold.

Yes, I also don't know for sure what the real situation is regarding this, but if we look back, it's true that Rashford seems to no longer feel at home at Manchester United. The proof is that he wanted to be loaned to Barcelona last season. So, I think that's a clear indication that Rashford is no longer comfortable at Manchester United. But when Rashford currently says he really wants to play for Manchester United again, it's clearly a bit odd for me too.

So, for that reason, I also feel that the Manchester United management team clearly needs to think firmly and wisely about this. Because if they don't really need Rashford, I think it's better to just sell him to another team. Because basically, even when Rashford is not there, Manchester United's performance is very good at the moment. So, I don't think selling Rashford will change anything about their performance. But yes, at this time we will just see what steps will be taken by Manchester United management.

Carrick plays this system and the left side just opens up naturally because of the way that Cunha moves. And Rashford is the man for the job. If he has space, he can run in behind and be good; no need to have the ball. Who would have thought it would be that easy?

It is not a bad idea if United refuse yet another loan. If they lend him again and it works out, they have just increased his value to someone else! No upside for them. But if they keep him, run him in a proper fashion during the preseason, and he is going to click under Carrick? He stays and contributes or January arrives and someone pays the real money.

I do not think this is even about Rashford, per se. It is whether Carrick will be able to reset the environment so that players do not feel like they have to leave. That is the bigger question for United at the moment. Rashford is only the most obvious illustration.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Bad prayer for them to be like that in the next season and if they do, they will not be at the top 3. They had been in that skillful position for decades and they won the last Premier League Title because the strong teams got weakened base on injury players and inexperienced players. And seen what happened to them, they will rise again to face the challenge so this coming season will be a competitive season. You can see the players effort from from the world cup.

I agree with you, they need to change, they need to make some adjustments, they need to do things right so they can improve. The reason they lost the UCL is something that needs to be addressed, the necessary adjustments. If they stay the same, they'll have the same mistakes or even more. So it's good to change many things, and above all, always try to be consistent by winning more consecutive matches in the Premier League so they don't suffer so much.

Mate rashford is past glory, if you watching the World Cup you will say what I’m talking about. He has been struggle in recent years and till now he his still struggling, he struggles to score goals, he struggles to take on, he even struggles not to lose the ball.

No challenging team, especially the big 5 in the premier league will want him in their team, not with that wages he his on.

For now he will be heading back to Mal Manchester United, I think Carrick will using him next season, maybe he might bring a glimpse of the old Rashford we use to know.

Rashford is unarguably a good player, I think Manchester United are rejecting him due to his high weekly wage payment. Remember, Manchester United reduce their high wage bill last season by releasing high-earning players, and Rashford was part of them, so it will not be encouraging to bring him back.

Rashford moving to Chelsea will be a good move for him, he will add more meaning to Chelsea's attack. Michael Carrick says he is interested in Rashford for their next season campaign, let's see what happens then.

While Arteta needs to improve his team style of play and possibly add more signings, they are still not in a tight spot especially since every other managers from almost all top teams are new and it's often expected that changes like this requires time to see if it will actually succeed.

Regardless, these new managers are not entirely getting this ease since they know the clubs or fans are hungry for success. The EPL competition will be exciting but Gunners managers still have the advantages.

I would not say that there is a guarantee of them winning the premier league title next season but looking at how they have been performing there is a high chance that they are going to win again. As for the champions league I'm not entirely sure about that because there are lots of competition on this and the winner can be any team at all, Even the ones you least expect.

What are you even writing? Manchester United management are even pushing for him to return establishing talks with his agency. It is the sensible Manchester United fans rebuffing the idea of a possible return to a club he called toxic environment. Wage reduction or not, he is part of the old culture to be erased, I don't want to see him.
It is part of his contract that he will not be moving to clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League Competition. I don't see this news happening.

Arsenal were able to win the English Premier League in the 2025/26 season because they made adjustments to improve as a team after failing to win it in five different occasions that they finished second. They were the best team in the UEFA Champions League last season but couldn't win a final they were a goal up at halftime because they opted to sit back and defend in the second half instead of attacking, that's a problem.

I believe they'll do everything possible to fix that ahead of next season. I still consider them a strong contender to win it next season and if they can make some key signings this summer, they might just be winning the UCL for the first time in their history next season.

[GiftedMAN]

Rashford moving to Chelsea will be a good move for him, he will add more meaning to Chelsea's attack. Michael Carrick says he is interested in Rashford for their next season campaign, let's see what happens then.

Manchester United is having no talks with Chelsea concerning Marcus Rashford rather Michael Carrick wants him to be back to add to the squad since he is in a very good form. I don't think United will let Chelsea sign Rashford now that they will be in the champions League beside Rashford will likely not prefer a team where he won't be playing in the champions League to Manchester United where he will likely start and the champions League is sure for him. If Rashford is leaving Manchester United it won't happen next season maybe during the next transfer market that's when United will sell him if they do njt need him in the team again.
