What was expected from Carrick was what he did. If he did not win most of the matches and able to push Manchester United to the top 4, there is no way the club was going to keep him for another season but that gesture changes what they've in mind because many people were agitating that they must keep Carrick as permanent manger after seeing his short term performance, there was no even any contract that period.

I have seen Teilesmans attention to the team, that's what many of us expected from him and the club, let's see more of the players. The present Manchester united player can't be rely on, he should get as much as replacement before the season becomes serious, by January he might not even have that chance of making amendment anymore, things might be worse than the way they were if he doesn't do it now.

They have high hopes for Carrick. I think he can make a difference in everything they set out to do because he's a coach who has turned the team around and made a difference. After a MU with so many failures, with so many seasons doing absolutely nothing, even one season I thought they were going to be relegated, Carrick arrived and improved everything. I think that's what has made everyone believe in Carrick.

Depends on how the other top title contenders will perform at the same time... If they look similar to this season mostly then Carrick would have a golden opportunity to benefit from.  

Otherwise I wouldn't expect him to bring the league trophy home either next season. And I don't expect the others to stay the same as well.

Even Tottenham would be much more competitive I believe. I doubt Chelsea the most as they still haven't made good signings.

Tottenham Hotspur will not be involved in the Champions League competition next season and the same for Chelsea who will have just a game week in and out in the Premier League Competition. If they maintain the right balance and Xabi Alonso gets his first team on time, they will go on to be destructive in the Premier League Competition. I anticipating the football which is to be played by Tottenham Hotspur under Zerbi, I'm fully invested. And Manchester United?! No! They can not emerge winners.

I want to see if this season Totenham having 0 involvement in the next european competitions can start to have again at least a decent season, this last two ones were really a complete shit, it was impossible to guess them having two super bad seasons in a row, one was already crazy but two seasons in a row being just above the relegation spots was crazy.

Some players are also reportedly leaving Tottenham, and we’ll see how their efforts in the transfer market go. If their performance doesn’t change much in the new season, that would also show that they probably won’t do anything besides try not to be relegated. At the beginning of the season, we usually can’t really see the team’s condition for sure.

I see a post of Chelsea club show support of Enzo after eliminating England but they deleted the post with in 30 minutes Haha its a quite funny thing happening in England and look like they still hate the Argentinaen People. They island problems are still active between Argentina and England people and I see some after match clip they even fight each other. This is football and we need to be neutral in geopolitical things if they bring things to football there will be no more good football. You need to be neutral in that's thing because every club give them a contract and they are your player so you need to be neutral.

Yeah i also think the same. The Falklands War in 1982 left a lasting impact on the relationship between England and Argentina  and even after more than four decades its effects can still be seen both on and off the football fields. As football matches carries emotions as well but if that type of history came between them then those emotions goes far beyond the game itself. We have seen incidents in the recent match between Bellingham and Messi where emotions and national rivalries become part of the narrative.

I wouldn't underestimate Manchester United, as their performance under Carrick last season was impressive, so it's highly likely that this will continue next season and could even be even better.

And Chelsea, with Xabi Alonso, is also worth waiting for. Xabi Alonso is a quality coach, and regarding their lack of movement in this transfer window, I think it's understandable. They already have a pretty good squad, so Xabi Alonso should be able to capitalize on that and add some players he wants.

And as for Tottenham, it's clear that many people doubt them, and I think that's understandable, as their team's strength continues to decline, and it's highly likely they won't be able to compete at the top.

Manchester United fans are hoping that the Premier League will be their main target, since it’s been a long time since Manchester United last won the Premier League title.

Do you think Carrick will be able to win the premier league title for Manchester United by next season? I don’t really think so. Carrick performed well last season, and am sure he will be performing well by next season also, but we should know that Manchester United won’t be playing only the premier league, they going to be playing the champions league also, so I just feel it’s not really going to be easy for them, Carrick will have to start rotating players, and I don’t think Manchester United is having the kind of squad that will be able to perform so well in both leagues.

In the aspect of performing well I think Manchester United would be able to do that without much stress but winning the premier league title is a different ball game entirely, they might perform well and still not end up winning the premier league title. There are lots of teams that are also aiming to win as well so it's not really going to be easy for them to just win next season. It is not even about rotating players now, it's just going to be difficult because there would be a lot of competition from teams like arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city.

I really don't think that Manchester United will win the premier league in the upcoming season, because I don't think they are their yet. Last season was a good one for them, because they were able to qualify for the champions league,  but this season might be a lot harder,  because I really believe that other teams will step up. Michael Carrick is a decent manager as I javelin always said, but they shouldn't mount too much pressure on him, so he can perform better.

I don't know why people are having so much confidence in Manchester United next season because to the extent of them predicting that they are going to win the premier League we know that a lot of people think because of how Manchester United performed last is what is given them confidence to say all this things they are saying but even with that I don't see Manchester United winning the title it's going to take some time but as it may we know that every thing is possible but not Manchester United winning the game and arsenal and Manchester City I don't know who else to predict.

But next season will bring a lot of confusion because I like how a lot of clubs wants to be serious next season so not like am underestimating Manchester United but there chances are very slim but with my full chest I don't think that Manchester United is going to win the title they can be between 1 to 5 but let's see what they have for us next season because I don't know what is happening to Manchester United fans with such confidence.

Aren't there some signs of officials arguments between the two nation on the Island? the Argentine fan banners that was raised stating that the Falkland Island is theirs has erupted a little of concern on the English side, saying that the world cup may not be theirs, as for the Falklands Island they own it.

I agree, their first challenge is to increase their performance and have consistency this will give them a good chance of staying in the middle of the league table and having a chance of doing better in the future because if they fail to keep their performance at a good level this could be a big setback.
 
In the last few seasons, they were consistently fighting hard for survival, but now they are surely going to have improvement and also want to do better, which will bring them into the top half of the league table. If they are able to stay on a good level then thinking about Europe will help them in the long run.

That’s why I’m wondering what prompted Iraola to say that. After all, he’s already bragging before anything has even happened. Yet his job at Liverpool is extremely demanding. Liverpool is a major club, unlike Bournemouth, which doesn’t expect its coach to win a title every season. I imagine that if Iraola’s comments don’t match up with reality in the early matches of the season, he’ll face harsh criticism from Liverpool fans.

He's overconfident, not realizing that he lacks experience as a coach. His comments seem to boost his popularity, even though we all know that Liverpool is a popular team competing for titles. That's one of the pressures that always makes it difficult for a coach to lead a team to success; even a more experienced coach wouldn't be able to do it under that much pressure.

I think he's positioned himself on the edge of a cliff. When he fails midway through the season, many will criticize him.

I agree, he is not experienced and is looking for more fans and social media attention because challenges are coming. These have never been easy for them to compete in in the presence of teams like Arsenal and Manchester; currently, these three are strong enough.

Iraola has done well in the past, but now he is competing at another level, and this could give him new experience, but he needs to be calm and strong. Managing Liverpool has never been easy with too many expectations and pressure from fans who always want things at the top level without compromise. He needs to keep focus on his new job instead of having media attention.

This time Tottenham will concentrate on only local competitions. This can give them a good advantage to focus on the PL more. It isn't easy to handle everything while a UEFA competition is also included.

If they can't even fix things in this situation then I don't know how they can... I believe in De Zerbi as he is a good manager for PL teams like them. His transfers so far are also good. It's time to fight for a CL spot again!

Well with the coach they have now and the the caliber of players they are bringing in to the club now I think they will have a decent next season. They have almost been relegated twice and it is only right to see the Management investing in the club the way they are doing now. For me I feel they will be getting an European qualification next season, it could be the champions league or the Europa league.

We saw them bringing in 2 top midfielders and they are still trying to bring in a top attacker too, so I feel Tottenham will be a decent team next season, they will be a very difficult side to play against.

[SmartCharpa]

We could see the changes immediately Carick took over as the manager of the club but as you said, it's going to be difficult because they will now be competing in more competitions than only the premier League that they are used to last season. And the right signing might be one of the best things that will happen to the team next season, they just need good and perfect replacements for each position in the team because of injuries or fatigue due to the long season. Manchester United are expected to do well this season but that will come with Carick improving on his tactics and they have good signings that will help the team progress or even lift one title from any of the titles they are competing for.

Carrick changed everything immediately he took over as the head coach. Amorim signed the quality players but he didn’t use them well. Manchester United used their best midfield to dominate the Premier League last season under Carrick. Sure, Manchester United is going to face a difficult challenges next season with the Champions League and other league cups. Manchester United were playing once in a week last season, while other clubs were playing two or three times.

I don’t think Manchester United are going to struggle the way you think. I like the way they are signing midfielders  this summer, though we are still expecting more signings from the club, maybe another left winger since Rashford is also back to the club. I can’t wait to watch them play in the Champions League next season.

Tottenham actually needs to sit up and I guess that in the coming season, they will try every thing possible to perform way better than they did last season, this club used to be part of the top contenders for the premier league title but last season was just too bad for them, they almost got relegated.

I believe that in this coming premier league season, they will try as much as possible to put up a good show or performance, even if they don't get to be among the top contenders for the premier league title, atleast, they will try not to get in a very tight corner of almost getting or entering the relegation zone like last season.
Tottenham is one of the football clubs I like very much even though I am not their fan, I still like the club because a very good friend of mine is a die hard fan, and I wish to see them do well like my own favourite club (Arsenal).

I really don't think that Manchester United will win the premier league in the upcoming season, because I don't think they are their yet. Last season was a good one for them, because they were able to qualify for the champions league,  but this season might be a lot harder,  because I really believe that other teams will step up. Michael Carrick is a decent manager as I javelin always said, but they shouldn't mount too much pressure on him, so he can perform better.

Manchester United could very well win the Premier League next season if they can maintain the consistency they showed toward the end of last season. And they seem to have found a good rhythm as a solid team under manager Michael Carrick. But the road ahead will be quite challenging given that the intense competition in the Premier League. They’ll also face several rounds of Champions League matches, where it could make their schedule even more packed and even potentially affect their performance. Carrick may have the right tactics to make the most of the Red Devils’ squad so they can stay on track or even play at their best. But they need to be careful because the other strong teams they’ll face may have addressed their weaknesses so many teams will give them a hard time in some of the upcoming matches. It may still be too early to predict that Manchester United will win the title. So I personally think we should at least wait and see how they perform once half the season has passed.

We all know that the problem of Tottenham is not about spending or bringing top players or even coaches, Tottenham has tried this and it has not worked out for them. The problem of Tottenham has been that they have not gotten a coach that will make them to play as a unit rather than individual play. We should not expect Tottenham to perform wonder's this coming season, the best they can do maybe a conference league spot because this is a new coach with new ideas and even some new players. So it will take some time before the team will gell together.

Tottenham had a two bad seasons in a row, but at least they won the Europa League last two seasons. They defeated Manchester United in the final, despite with their bad seasons, they managed to compete in the European tournament. Last season was very tough for them, hiring three managers in a single season. Some people thought they were going to be relegated, but they managed to survive with few points over West Ham.

I want to see them play next season after signing a lot of players, I believe they are going to sign more before the season starts. Tottenham have sign more players than any other team this summer, spending huge amounts of money on players. I hope they can win the Premier League next season after signing these players, they should be  able to compete for the title.

Michael Carrick is a decent manager as I javelin always said, but they shouldn't mount too much pressure on him, so he can perform better.

Manchester United have really stepped up in terms of performance that I will give them but it's still a long way to go because this new season they will have more competition at their hand to participate and alot of time and energy consumption for the players too and it will depend on how the squad is set up because playing does affect the players that's why it's important to have substitute player for each player so that exhaustion and fatigue which can lead to injury doesn't affect their campaign.
