Manchester United needs more quality players, look at their players and that of arsenal and Liverpool, how many of their first team players will get into the team of this teams I both mentioned?
The quality of their team is just freaking low bro, aside that, nothing else.

I absolutely agree with that as well. I have also said it many times so far. Manchester United has a horrible squad. It is never reflecting the power of their name. There are so many players who don't deserve to be a part of this team in the lineup... 

They need to bring their old transfer policy back. I remember Alex Ferguson times like yesterday. They had an amazing squad for the league back in the day and that was bringing them lots of achievements. They need to go back to their roots.

Things have changed sir and the Sir Alex era will never be repeated in this time. Besides, all the clubs are much more developed and there are many candidates who have surpassed ManUnited in all aspects. In Amorim hands, Glazer and players are out of sync with the club's vision.

How do you know it? It's quite possible for Manchester United to bring back their successful era. It just takes time by taking the right steps as well. They must bring in much more quality players to start from somewhere.

But the current owners really don't seem to be interested in that. This is why I get sad about this team. So much potential but just wasting it. Maybe one day let's say. By the way I think Tottenham also has a low quality of squad just as them.

They're on the right track already, they've hired good management and recruitment teams at board level, signed a coach that's used to success and gradually signing players that would fight for the badge. Rebuilding is a process, it doesn't work instantly it requires patience, hardwork and determination to succeed from all parties.
 Don't you see that they're performaning better than last season, they're on of the teams that's created the most chances and scored the most goals this season, if not for injury and some of the players who left for the Afcon tournament, Manchester United would've been in a better position. According to their coach, they're keep pushing and working hard to do better.

It will take long for you to see the Manchester United of the past era coming back again, nothing is impossible that is correct but the recent management is not interested in working things out to make sure they have a solid team again they need to spend enough money to sign good players and they need to restructure the team in a way that they will be very strong to challenge other teams in the league. The only way to achieve that is to sell the club to someone else who is going to bring out money and time to do a proper finding to know the right manager to sign and the players that can work with the manager.

If you say Manchester United's management is not interested in transforming the team, will they give Ruben Amurim this offer they gave to him and also the amount they gave to the coach for team reinforcement in the last transfer window which they are also ready to offer another amount to do the needful. I don't believe the problem is from the managerial end as they are willing to do anything humanly possible to bring back Manchester united to winning runs as they where during the times of sir Alex Ferguson, all Manchester united needs now is support and trust because I strongly believe they will get back on track

Manchester United is a club with a huge fan base worldwide. They joined when Manchester United was coached by Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex Ferguson has become a legend after his long coaching career. Many football legends played with him, such as Éric Cantona, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo. These names were football stars of their eras, and all were coached by Sir Alex Ferguson. They won many titles under Sir Alex Ferguson. Of course, current Manchester United fans are very disappointed when comparing Manchester United's achievements under Sir Alex Ferguson with the current situation. But that era is over, and we must respect his successor and give him more support and opportunities. It's not easy to coach a club as big as Manchester United; the public pressure is too great.

[mv1986]

The gap has become huge now between the first three and then Chelsea. It is 7 points already. I didn't expect Aston Villa to be one of th serious contenders. Liverpool and Chelsea are out for the time being. Still enough time though, but the gap is quite big.

I would hold onto your point, that there is still time, and that's it. We are not yet at the start of the second or return leg, so there is still enough time to make up for any team that wishes to climb up. Just a match loss and a draw for any of the team up there, and that's it, the gaps are perfectly covered. When the time gets so serious like this, teams are the top has a great work to do, which is, to just keep winning, else, any mistake brings your rivals more close and a possible overturn. Aston Villa is doing great presently. They have created a solid team, especially matching there strength with other big teams and that is recommendable. Let's see how much they can last or can remain there, or possibly how they would end this season.

Obviously there is still time, but considering the momentum for the various teams, it's not looking that great for Chelsea and Liverpool compared to Aston Villa and Manchester City. Their recent record is literally flawless.

I am curious to see whether Arsenal is going to have their bad moment towards the end of the season again. They have been there a couple of times now and then messed it up suddenly. It is going to be an exciting season either way, I just hope that the top teams will keep going like that as that makes it most exciting.

Bro I don't agree with you on this one, like the last time I checked Manchester United has got what it takes to even win the English premier League title, Manchester United has got some quality players that the coach is failing to make use of, like Manchester United needs that manager that can bring out the beast on this players, now if you think non of Manchester United players can fit in the Liverpool or Arsenal's team, I will like you to bring up their stat from each position and check how good Manchester United players are, on my own opinion I think Ruben Amorim is not really trying his best that's all.

Manchester United are in talks with Semenyo. If that deal clicks, they will gradually come back to their glory days. What they also need are two defensive midfielders and another left back to support the team. It has been proven that Amorim's football tactics work. It has been working for many games, unlike the Manchester United we saw last season. This season, we have seen a big change, irrespective of how they started the season poorly.

In the meantime, Bruno Fernandes is injured, I really dont know how true this information is. Hopefully, he will be back soon to join the team if the injury is not one that will take him out for a long time.

As for Aston Villa, I am not that too surprised by their recent form, besides they have a top coach in charge of the team, but will they be consistent enough to win the league? No if you ask me because I don't think that they have that higher level of consistency to carry it out, so a top four position is more likely for them that winning the title.

Manchester United lacks quality players, that is why they are unable to identify their starting IX players in every game. The manager can use any player they want in any match, a player will start and play well, but he will bench them and use another player in the next match. How could a manager who only plays one game in a week hide his player? They have a lot of injured players now, and I wonder how they will compete in the next games.

However, Aston Villa has spend more than Manchester United in the last seasons, so I’m not surprised by their recent performance, they deserved to be at this position since they have a good manager who knows how to do his job to improve the team. For the league title, it will be difficult to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal, but I think they can finish in the top four.

Naaaaaa that deal just feels like another Sancho deal that's not going to solve anything. Cunha and Sesko haven't really provided any outcomes so signing Semenyo is just another bluff deal.

[Nightwatchmare]

The game between Tottenham and Liverpools half time score is 0:0, Tottenham have one player Xavi Simons sent off for with a red card offense for a bad tackle on Virgil van Dijk before the half time whistle. Overall, I’m not impressed with the performance of both teams so far especially Tottenham who are playing at home in front of their home fans, they didn’t show much fighting spirit in this game as I expected them to do because they lost their last premier league game 3:0 to Nottingham Forest and in this match they are supposed to make up for the lost game and give their fans something to smile about but judging from their performance so far in this game I think it’s short of expectations and now they already have a man down, will they be able to contain Liverpool attack and avoid conceding a goal from Liverpool in the second half? I doubt it.

It is normal for you not to be impressed with the performance of Tottenham and Liverpool because both teams are not really doing well, and the way both teams performed was expected because of their current form, and Tottenham losing 3:0 to Nottingham Forest is another reason for you not to expect Tottenham to beat Liverpool at White Hart Lane because that alone is evidence that Tottenham is in mess at the moment and they cannot beat Liverpool. I'd expect Tottenham to share the 3 points with Liverpool, but Simon's red card in first half caused Tottenham to lose the 3 points to Liverpool.

[Abu-Naim]

Naaaaaa that deal just feels like another Sancho deal that's not going to solve anything. Cunha and Sesko haven't really provided any outcomes so signing Semenyo is just another bluff deal.

I don’t even think that’s the position Manchester United should focus on this time because they have Cunha, Mboymo, and Sesko that are yet to do their best overall for the team, so the team should focus on their attacking midfield and defensive midfield that can replace both Burno and Casamero and also sign good defenders for the team because they need to strengthen all these positions really well and also have good replacements or squad depth for almost all their players in different positions if they want to perform better than they are performing now.

[Furious 7]

Emery has always been famous for his tactics and utilization of players who rely on good teamwork so that even if individually they lose but when talking about teamwork they can be better because of the collective play that is done and Aston Villa is not the first club that Emery has managed to transform like this.

Aston Villa's performance is still up and down for now but I think it is normal because an ordinary club for the current era can compete in the top standings and can even be in the race in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League zone it is still very good for them.
They know that even though the championship is an expectation that is always created but at this time their good performance like this must be appreciated when looking at the depth of their current squad.

What Emery really got done is that Aston Villa finally is no losing team away from home anymore. That was their biggest weakness I think last season. They had a great record for all their home games, but messed it all up with their away from home games. This now seems to have clearly changed for the better. There is still room for improvement as their win rate sits at around 50% say from home, but last season they lost around half of their games away from home.

The gap has become huge now between the first three and then Chelsea. It is 7 points already. I didn't expect Aston Villa to be one of th serious contenders. Liverpool and Chelsea are out for the time being. Still enough time though, but the gap is quite big.

I think this condition is related to mentality.
When a club plays away then there is definitely more pressure especially when the club they are playing against is a club with superior and militant supporters whose voices can provide an excessive pressure and this is still not conquered by Emery. In addition, scheme making in matches is also an important situation that must be used as a reason here because sometimes decision making in schemes and formations can really make this a determinant in a match.

But at the moment the conditions are slowly being changed especially in the last few away matches that Aston Villa have done they are still quite good with 3 points they still get and the last time they lost their away match was against Liverpool and that was quite a long time ago.
This indicates that Emery is still continuing to balance their squad so it is not wrong if at this time Emery really brings Aston Villa even still survive in the zone in the Champions League.

[Solodoski]

Naaaaaa that deal just feels like another Sancho deal that's not going to solve anything. Cunha and Sesko haven't really provided any outcomes so signing Semenyo is just another bluff deal.

I don't think that Semenyo will be a bad signing for Manchester United,  because he has the quality and he will definitely add more force in the attack,  but I think  Manchester United need to concentrate on their defense more, because they have been scoring a lot of goals and also conceding a lot of goals too, which shows that they are not doing badly going forward,  but they have been really poor defensively. So why spend that amount of money on an attacking player when you still have an obvious defensive issue. I don't think it make sense,  but it's just my opinion.

Alex Ferguson was the most successful coach in the history of Manchester United. Manchester United used to perform exceptionally well. They won the Premier League title several times in a row. But now the scenario has changed. It is very difficult for Manchester United to find their previous rhythm.

So far Amorim has not been able to show anything that we can say that the era of Alex Ferguson will be repeated again. Manchester United will dominate the league again. With the help of Amorim, United's performance has improved somewhat. But it is not enough to dominate the Premier League. Even qualifying for the Champions League is very difficult for Manchester United.

The quality of their team is just freaking low bro, aside that, nothing else.

In my opinion, the current Manchester United squad isn't too bad, even the players recruited by Manchester United are quality players and even became stars at their former clubs. However, Amorim's tactics don't fit Manchester United's philosophy and the players' characters. If only Amorim were willing to change his tactics, I'm sure the Manchester United players would perform exceptionally and Manchester United would once again compete as title contenders. Just look at the players who have left Manchester United; all of them have performed exceptionally at their respective clubs, which is a sign of their quality.

It has been working for many games, unlike the Manchester United we saw last season. This season, we have seen a big change, irrespective of how they started the season poorly.

The thing for Manchester United is that Amorim prefers a 3-4-2-1 formation all the time. He wouldn't change his system for one player either.

This means that Semenyo would need to play a little behind like a left midfielder but supporting attacks like a winger at the same time.

Actually he played against Burnley like that if I'm not wrong and scored.

Are you trying to say that Manchester United cannot be transformed to be better compared to Sir Alex Ferguson era. I doubt that, you will see that United will be back on their feet in future. There's time for every club to pass through difficulties. Changes are constant.
