⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

I cannot wait to see how Manchester United would perform in the champions league next season, it's been a long time since they qualified to be in the champions league and I really hope they can do well. Anything Michael carrick is doing is working perfectly at this point.He is the right coach for the team and there is no doubt about that. Manchester United before carrick was a complete disaster but currently they are a threat to teams like arsenal, city and Liverpool.

It was around 2023/2024 season that Manchester United last played in the Champions League, and 2022/2023 Premier League, where they finished in 3rd place, which qualified them for the Champions League. 

Now is another time for Manchester United, Carrick used the boys to prove they merit a spot, the ball is now in their court, i will like to see how Manchester United will use it in this Champions League season.

I would say that United did the right thing, and I have seen plenty of times before where players ended up failing medical exam. You do not have to have zero injuries during the medical exam to make a move, in fact you must remember a lot of situations where a player was injured and yet still ended up getting transferred.

The point of medical exam is not to look at the situation at that moment, you can have a broken leg and still get transferred. The point of medical exam is to make sure there isn't anything lingering long term, like if you have something wrong that may be a problem 2 years later, you still may not get it, and that is how the move ends up being made and we should not be really considered a good thing. Probably United found something like that.

Well there is still no clear reason why the move collapsed, not concrete season, some analysts were saying maybe Manchester United later have a rethink and feel they should go for a premier league establish players Instead and that why they bought Santos and Tilemans in a couple of days just to replace the outgoing casimero.

Well getting Tilemans and santos is really a good move for them, one is a young and hungry player and the other is an experience and intelligent player, so I really think they did a good deal.

I know In coming days we will get the main reason why they actually didn’t sign The Atalanta midfielder.

Honestly, it looks like United's medical team saw a major red flag with Ederson's knee after those extra checks, so walking away was 100% the right call. United can't risk another long-term injury disaster, especially with Ugarte out with an ACL.

Pivotting to Santos and Tielemans is an absolute masterclass by INEOS. Getting both for around the price of one top target is very good business. Tielemans brings that proven PL experience United desperately need, and Santos is pure talent. Midfield rebuild actually looks solid for United now!

Man U possess a team strong to be Arsenal's rival this season, but Arteta is on a whole different level, his plans to emulate PSG's playing strategy, should it work, will easily place him ahead of the contending teams in the Premier league, he's done so well at mastering transitional football, and is yet to add to it the emotional maneuvering that Enrique's brought to his game at the finals with Arsenal, If Arteta lays his hands on that playing Fluid he'd have nobody to worry about in the premier league.

Aren't Arsenal being given a bit too much credit? Yes, they finally got over the line. But to me they did not seem like unstoppable champion. They showed their old habit of reducing intensity of the match when the pressure was on. The only difference this time was that Manchester City had an unusually bad season by their own standards. Thats why Arsenal managed to get away with those mistake.

Arsenal aren't good enough, but then, they deserve your accolades for winning the trophy this. There fights for so many seasons has finally paid off and they are celebrating it. For the fact that they won it shows that they were better than every other team.  It will be so better that those who don't appreciate the fact that Arsenal are champions, they should play safe and avoid making speeches that seems not too good. Poeple should really learn to celebrate with those who are joining decision.

The most important factor in a team's ability to remain strong in two competitions is the quality of its rotation squad. If Manchester United are aiming for titles in both the Champions League and the Premier League this year, they absolutely must strengthen their rotation squad.

Carrick performed so well at Manchester United last season, and we all are expecting him to perform so well by next season, but I don’t think Manchester United is having the squad to fight for both champions league and premier league, I don’t even know how carrick will be rotating the players which he is having currently. I can’t really wait to see how Manchester United will be performing when they playing in both the champions league and premier league, Carrick is going to be having a difficult moment at Manchester United by next season.

Manchester united went through a lot this past few years, there was  a time when I lost confident i thought they will be relegated because their performance was becoming so unbearable as at that time. I think that was during the era of Eric ten hang even before amorim came and we thought he's going to change the club but Nah, though he did well from the very beginning but at some point he started deviating even to a point where they started compering him with Eric ten hang and from his record so far it's obvious that Eric ten hang is much more better than him. But it's of the past now we are looking at Micheal carrick the new manager, though he seem to be a good coach but we would find out this season.

Considering how long it has taken for Manchester United to play in the champions League, I've even forgotten how their playing pattern in the champions League use to be. Manchester United not coming to the champions League regularly is a clean case of how has the might fallen, this is a club that was one of toughest in the champions,  now they struggle tooth and nail to come back to glory days. Carrick can just do his best, he is a coach learning on the job, so let's not expect much from him.

In Manchester United's team now, the only position without perfect option is the midfield and i know the signed payers will fill that gap, since last season they have great challenges dominating the game fully in big matches but I know that gap will be closed and Manchester united will do excellently well in the upcoming season.
With the squad Manchester United is looking up to build i dont think that will be a problem for them because they team i see will do everything possible to stand what so ever that comes there way if they all maintain same spirits as they did last season.
Writing Manchester United off trophy contenders is a very big mistake because if they can do it last season when they lack consistency what then do u think will happen this season that all are ready to show what they are made of

I am not going to be expecting anything spectacular performance from Manchester United in the champions league next season, but a fair performance from them which is not much of expectation or short of expectation can be accepted. They have not participated in the competition for a while now and their manager is also going to be having his debut management in the champions leagues, so I don’t think that they’ll make it to the top but they’ll try and see how far they can go with this while keeping the premier league competition also at concern to finish at the top four. This is a big season for them, and I feel they’re going to entertain us than they’ve in the last season.

I do not see Arsenal as the clear favourites for next season right now. You know any champion team become the main target for everyone. Maresca may not be Guardiola but I would likw to see what he could bring for us this season.

I can agree that Manchester city had a bad season or whatever, but it's very good that you should realize that to be champion of EPL is a very difficult journey the fact that a managed to win it after a long time, I think everything every credit it's all worth it and they deserve it
This Is he a club that have tried over and over again but bottled the league and the finally they get it I will even expect more from them when he comes to celebration.
And and it is logical that's anything that won the previous EPL or champions of whatsoever league are always a favorite for the next season as well.
