This is a good development from Manchester United. Marcus Rashford to me has been static, he has refused to develop and it's right for Manchester united to cash in on him. Ruben Amorim has to be ruthless with his players,if he wants to achieve success at the club, and he must sell underperforming players that receives huge wages to be able to free space and generate funds to buy players that will align with his vision.

Don't think that Rashford is the player who is the cause of all the troubles for Manchester United, they can of course sell him, but it will not change anything for the better, it will only slightly relieve the wage bill, but will deprive the team of one of the forwards. It would be better for Amorim to try to reveal Rashford's full potential, than to try to sell him so quickly, although if he has already made such a decision, it is clear that he will do it.

In this context I agreed with you if the best thing Amorim did was find all the advantages possessed by Rashford, instead of Amorim selling it which might make Manchester United regret if other clubs he could show its best form.
Not Rashford is actually what needs to be considered to be released by Manchester United, but Onana and Antony. Of these two players can save the cost of club expenses.

For the front lines, Hojlund, Zirczee can be used well. Releasing the two players that I mentioned can be used as an option to find a new attacker.

Tye Manchester city vs Manchester United is the biggest English premier league match this weekend on paper and based off the fact that it's the Manchester derby and the calibre of players and coaches involved but I strongly feel the most exciting game we would have in the English premier league this weekend is Liverpool vs Fulham.
Liverpool are in the form of their lives but Fulham is not a push over team and they have what it takes to hurt Liverpool.

Fulham can't be taken easily by Liverpool. They're leading with one goal now. Fulham does Fulham things in the middle of season. Surprisingly, they get lucky enough because Liverpool got a red card. Fulham is lucky enough in this game. I can't believe with my eyes after they lead the game, they get another advantage.

One of the most exciting game to watch. There are lots of interesting stuff ever since the game started. I'm hoping Fulham to take there points from Liverpool's home.

They're having more players than Liverpool, it's pretty easy to win the game.

Rashford is seriously a Manchester United problem but he is just part of the problem and not even half of the entire club problem. The club has many problems to deal with at the moment that I feel like the players are even least of the problems. Last week they were battling the director of football role having ended up sacking the newly appointed one in person of Dan Ashworth, if a club’s hierarchy is still in confusion like this then it will transfer to the players and the managers

If they can solve the hierarchy problems then they can sit down well and look or analyze this players and then axe the ones not playing well off. Marcus is almost 27 and no longer a kid but should be in his prime, on a weekly wage above 300k why giving him lots of excuses, i feel Manchester United should have cash in on him when PSG brought €90m last two summer

Fulham should have double their lead by now because they had like two clear chances they missed, but it’s not yet over because Liverpool is proving to be strong again even after the red card as they are making good attempts and they keep dominating the game, but it will not be easy for them since they lost an important player due to red card.
Fulham need to take their chances well to avoid playing draw because Liverpool have Moh Sallah, and we know him well and what he can do.

Arsenal on the other hand is yet to score a goal on their match, they struggle against Everton in the first half because Everton defense looks solid and they also make sure they manage Arsenal corner kick scoring ability; however, the second half will come with some goals because Arsenal can’t afford losing this match.

[AYOBA]

Liverpool will will not find it hard to deafest Fulham no matter how bad there situation is this are games that we can easily be able to predict and win, just that the winning odd is actually very small, and they will not put this game at stake they will do everything possible to win and Liverpool might look weak but there are enough chances for them to claim three point. And since the city are not shining this season then Liverpool and arsenal might have hope of winning.

A weak team bring out a unexpected results that’s what is happening between Liverpool and the Fulham, although that Liverpool can find the match very easily to win due to how they keep their consistency right from the beginning of the season. But in other hand Fulham create a big chances for them self by leading Liverpool with 1 goal right from the 11 minutes of time in first half.

As it stand the second half has kick off and the game is on a bit, because from starting of the second half Liverpool  are able to equalize back immediately; now the match is balance up again since there playing 1-1, let see what can happen next.

I don't know what to think about Liverpool and Arsenal, like how Everton and Fulham are able to drag them to this minute, Fulham seems to be here for everything because they have score another goal making it 1-2, does that means Liverpool will lose this match? Maybe this is a redemption for Chelsea to win the Premier League because if Liverpool lose this match and Chelsea win their own, the margin is just 2 points before Chelsea take over the table.

Whatever good deed Chelsea are seeing right now with Enzo Maresca, they deserved all the accolades, they have been rubbish since last 3 seasons ever since but everywhere looks good.fot them. I don't know what to say about Arsenal right now but I have given up on their dream, maybe they can win it is up to them but personally. I will not even select their games again.

[Woodie]

Boy oh Boy, I didn't see Liverpool falling at the hands of fulham and I know we might say that the Robetson red card changed the Reds gameplay generally...but this can't be a valid argument as teams have won games with a man down...and btw I expected Liverpool players to be hungry for a win coming from a midweek win which should  have been their motivation...guess they have been brought back to reality...

Arsenal too look like they will be held by Everton who haven't allowed alot of chances to be created by the gunners,  this isn't kind of results I expected to see

Well, Liverpool is currently in a very tight corner, i am not trying to be pessimistic but I don't think they will be able to beat Fullham, Fullham seems well prepared for the game, and to make matters worst for Liverpool, they lost a man to red card, it is already over 80 minutes into the match and this means that they have less than 10 minutes to play minus potential extra time.

But anyway, even a minute or few seconds can do wonders and like you said, we just have to watch and see how the game ends, good thing for me is that I initially wanted to bet on Liverpool to win the match, but some activities made me forget to place the bet when I should, and I am honestly grateful for not later doing it.

Update : Fullham have seconded their second goal making them the lead of the match, will Liverpool be able to equalize again, or have they be defeated? I am guessing they will be defeated by Fullham, but lets see.

Liverpool are in the form of their lives but Fulham is not a push over team and they have what it takes to hurt Liverpool.

If I'm not mistaken this is the second time Pep Guardiola meets Amorim, but Amorim first meeting was with Sporting and the result was that they managed to beat Pep Guardiola troops. But now the team they are holding is Man United so there is no guarantee that Amorim can do the same thing to Man City. Although the Citizen is in a declining performance, if the opponent is a team like Man United, they should be able to win. This is the Manchester Derby which is not playing at its best. Maybe my prediction is a narrow score for Man City victory.

It's draw. It's a fair result to the Liverpool considering their circumstances. They play only with 10 players after one of their players got a red card.

It's pretty disappointing me to see how Fulham could not maximizing their chance, but i still appreciate them. Their hard work is paying off with a point at anfield. I knew majority of us favored Liverpool to win the game, but how fortunate Fulham was. I see robinson is just getting better every year,

In the end, one point is one point no matter how they throw away their chance to get full points at anfield.

The match with Everton was very nervous, I don't understand how Arsenal couldn't score a goal, it was very important for me that Arsenal scored, but unfortunately they couldn't score and my bet lost. Dyche always defends, sometimes successfully, sometimes he misses, but I was almost sure that they wouldn't be able to hold out against Arsenal. Well, it's a pity, my last bets on goals scored were successful, Arsenal let me down.

Losing Robertson early did affect the game although at the end Jota was able to score again but we can see Fulham's game is quite good so it's a little difficult for Liverpool to keep pressing.

Arkhh the draw between Liverpool and Arsenal disappointed us who initially believed they would win without difficulty, maybe for Liverpool if Robertson was not red carded the game would be different.

Unlucky this week to be unlucky again.

Although Manchester City is in declining form, they still have a strong and experienced squad in every big match, even the ambition to continue to dominate Manchester will of course be a big ambition for them to beat the Amorim squad in the match, for Amorim, of course the derby match will be very crucial considering the great expectations imposed on him at this time,  although he ever beat Manchester City in the UCL when they were still with Sporting, I think the match will have a different feel and also stronger pressure because of the rivalry between the two teams so far, the match will be a match that is difficult to predict considering the rivalry between the two teams so far, especially with the condition of the two teams which are indeed the same is in decline.

[LUCKMCFLY]

When the red card was received, for me it was no longer about controversy or not. Rico Lewis' expression when he received his second yellow card was surprised that for him it was not worthy of being considered a violation that required the referee to issue a card. However, the referee in carrying out his duties must also be respected.
Let's just say this season is a less than good season for Pep.

Pep's technical ability to make Manchester City good has not changed, but the results that Manchester City will receive as long as their key players are still absent, so I think Pep's technical ability is difficult to realize, unlike other coaches who are not too influenced by the players they have when facing the opposing team.
I use Arne Slot with Liverpool as an example regarding this. So far Slot has been great.

I don't doubt about Pep, he's a coach who always Watches his games with all the emotions in the world, I know and I think everyone knows when City lost when he got scratched, so it can be said that the weak point of City is when their players get Injured ,  it's incredible that this team hasn't put in good players in case of injuries, this is something I don't understand and they have made a lot of money , something that can be generated by having a great Squad, of course all these things have an impact on their performance, but it's a matter of time , only now they have to do better.

Liverpool and Arsenal both surprised me very much today.    Both of them drew with their competitors. The main reason for Liverpool was that early red card of course. Robertson made a huge mistake and tried to atone for it with even a bigger mistake... Why would you do that challenge? Maybe he wasn't going to be able to score. Even if he scored it would be better than playing the rest of the whole game with 10 players.

Arsenal completely dominated at Emirates. But Everton somehow managed to resist and kept it at 0-0. Now it is a good chance for Chelsea and Manchester City both.

I think Chelsea will beat Brentford at home. But as for the derby at Etihad, I don't know. Technically Guardiola is closer to the win but their recent form is terrible so...

The Manchester derby that is coming up tomorrow will be an exciting one. For so long now the younger brother of the Manchester side as been dominating the united side of the Manchester, but I feel this time around that Manchester City is struggling is the best time for Manchester United to give a beautiful revenge. Besides the present form of both teams, Manchester United in the other hand is still struggling to find their style of play under their new coach while Manchester City already has an established style which is recently failing them due to the absence of some keep players like Rodri in the midfield.

Tomorrow I am expecting a very entertaining football because Amorim is not facing that match with fear because he already encountered Pep Guardiola at sporting in his last matches before he left for Manchester United. So he is very confident. My best tip is to avoid betting this match on straight wins, you can go on goals, both teams to score is a good option

[Alpha Marine]

In this context I agreed with you if the best thing Amorim did was find all the advantages possessed by Rashford, instead of Amorim selling it which might make Manchester United regret if other clubs he could show its best form.
Not Rashford is actually what needs to be considered to be released by Manchester United, but Onana and Antony. Of these two players can save the cost of club expenses.

You really think Rashford is a player that should remain at Manchester United? A player that has had only 1 good season? Why do Manchester United fans keep seeing the kind of player Rashfod can be and not the kind of player he actually is? When have you see Marcus Rashford have 3 consecutive good games?
It's high time Man United move on from Rashford. The problem with United is that even if they sell him, they won't be a better player, they'll buy a player just like him, filled with potential and will end up not living up to his potential.

Despite how Onana has saved Mancester United, fans still think he's the problem but Rasford always gets a pass for being average every game.

For the front lines, Hojlund, Zirczee can be used well. Releasing the two players that I mentioned can be used as an option to find a new attacker.

I'm sorry, but these 2 players are not good enough. Neither of these players can give you 30 goals a season. If Manchester United is a serious club they need a striker that can give them 30 goals a season.
A club cant win the league if they don't have a player, preferably a striker who can score 20 league goals a season. Both these players cant do that.

Could it be that Pep Guardiola is gradually losing his confidence. If Manchester City is unable to win Manchester United in the Sunday fixtures, the job of Pep Guardiola win strongly be at stake. We are very very confident that Manchester City cannot dismiss Pep Guardiola. But in the other hand even if Manchester City does not have the gods to dismiss PEP, he might on his own decide to resign because of bad results. Everything is possible in life and Pep Guardiola resigning amidst bad result controversies is very possible because he is not used to losing.
My spirit is telling me that many things will happen to Manchester City if they lose the match against Manchester United. If not for the historical glory of Pep Guardiola, which coach will win only one match out of 10 fixtures and still be confident to retain his job. And people might not hear his excuses again that only one man's absence disorganised your team.

What are your predictions in tomorrow's Manchester derby? Anyone confident of a possible draw results in this game? Well I wouldn't be in a hurry to place my wager because this is a tough game and both points are crucially important for bothsides. Ruben Amorim and Pep Guardiola are rivals since beating Pep Guardiola in his previous meetings, since managing Sporting CP and thrash City 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League.

Pep Guardiola have gone through alot because he's still in shocking doubts, wondering how come his team declined in performance and they're also struggling to grab winning points against elite and average opposition, this absolutely doesn't suit the style of Manchester City.  The feelings at Sporting CP and Manchester United are entirely different because both teams are quite different. Manchester City will come prepared this time because Pep Guardiola knows exactly what's he's facing and wouldn't relent against such opposition. Amorim would trade carefully in tomorrow's Manchester derby because a win ought to take place for the Red Devils especially now that City is having a downtime winning league games.

This season is the third season for Nottingham playing in the Premier League, although in the previous two seasons Nottingham was only a promoted team that was always in the lower zone. But who would have thought that in its third season this season Nottingham would really succeed in competing in the top four zone. Also, about the match that just ended, that Nottingham also fell behind first with Aston Villa's goal in the 63rd minute, but Nottingham who played at home also still had great ambitions until Nottingham still managed to score two goals even though the match was approaching  the final minutes.

Because after all, Nottingham was just able to score a goal in the 87th minute and in injury time 90+3, with results like this, Nottingham remains in fourth position with 28 points but the position is still not safe,  because Manchester City also still has a very big chance to be able to overtake Nottingham because Manchester City also still has one postponed match.

At least, I regret it enough because I gave up my intention to bet on Nottingham to win,  but I still took this moment to keep betting with other options.
