I have no doubt that Manchester United will do well next season under the management of Micheal carrick, if he was able to make significant changes last season within a short period of time then definitely there would be a new Manchester United next season. Even though they don't end up winning the league title or winning any trophy I think it's possible for them to finish the season at the top 3.

Manchester United will perform better than they did the last season looking at how Carrick tried to elevate the status of the club through his tactical approach in using the players available. This upgrade in the delivery of the player happened when he has not had a full understanding of the club yet as he was just walking the players through for the first season and I will not say he did entirely bad. If Carrick can have the same performance he pushed the last time with more support from the team managment, chances are he will outperform the performance he displayed the last season but the time is too early to jump into conclusions as we await his performance and the performance of the club this incoming season.

Well back to reality, there is so much expectation on Carrick Manchester United, considering how he finished last season he really need to do well. Some people are even saying Manchester United are in the race for next season premier league. I hope he can deliver this time around.

It is no exaggeration to say that Man Utd will be a serious contender, because what Man Utd has shown under Carrick command last season was truly extraordinary, in a short time Carrick changed this team to be much better, besides that we know that other competing teams change their coaches which of course requires adaptation to their respective squads, so I am sure that Man Utd can be one of the strong contenders for the title and the possible competition is with Arsenal.

I really like the way Tottenham reacts to their big danger of relegation this season. De Zerbi didn't want to waste any time as for new transfers.

Most of them are good ones but they are spending like crazy really! The amount they spent last season was around €270m. Now they've spent more than €200m for only 2 midfielders.

Many deals are done but there might be more on the way. Squad depth is generally in an okay condition now.

There is no doubt that the Tottenham position was very bad in the last season  and they need a lot of improvements to stand in a strong position. And this decision is very affective as all the people are supporting them for taking a good step in fact they need to make these signings in their last seasons. Because it is necessary for them to take such strong and wise decisions so that they can successfully qualify for the champions league. As there is a lot and very tough competition between all these teams and i think in this situation there is no relaxation for any team and not anyone can afford. De zerbi should need to change his style and make some policies which can help the team to re build their image and can make significant improvements to stand strongly

Manchester United under Micheal Carrick has improved a clear evidence is their performance against all the big teams in England. Against Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, ne Chelsea. If they maintain the level of performance they showed last season of they get to next season they will surely have a trophy to celebrate their good performance. The team is back and they are ready to return fully to winning ways all they need is to remain consistent.

It must be admitted that Michael Carrick has been quite successful in bringing changes to the Man United team, but this should not be considered too excessive because next season will be the real proof for Michael Carrick, even though there is a big possibility that Michael Carrick will be able to make Manchester United's performance better, but this must also be supported by management to help Michael Carrick develop the team as he wants.

What Carrick did was of course amazing, I would not even contribute it to players at this point, because it was the same players that sucked before he joined, and specially with Amorim. So a team with Amorim who lost to fourth division team, managed to get a back to back win against City and Arsenal with Carrick.

So I would put all of the success at Carrick in that case, and none of the players if you ask me. I think this is going to be great for them, they have a chance to do so much better now.

Adaptation is seriously overrated when it comes to managers, we saw how Carrick transformed the Man United team in no time likewise De Zerbi saving the Tottenham team from relegation towards the end of the seasonafter being left a sh*t pile.

The only time that would take time to adapt is the Chelsea project as Xabi Alonso always take the time to indoctrinate his team. He did it in Bayern Leverkusen and Real Madrid but 36 will surely tell the Supremacy of a manager

[tygeade]

Manchester United looked so good this season that people are actually having some hopes about their future. I am not saying they are going to win, most likely result will be that they are going to lose. But the reality is that we should be considering them as something that will probably not going to end up great for them.

We should not expect them to be third yet again, sure that happened once but they are not that much great just yet and we should not be considering a top four is possible again. If they do, that's great, but if they can't, that's not shocking neither. Everyone increased their expectations about United way too much and I do not think that we are going to end up seeing something that becomes that much more of an issue.

Carrick did not get a chance to build the squad last season. He worked with the squad that Amorim had built. And he succeeded. Manchester Uunited will be able to occupy the third place in the table, which no one could  have imagined given their performance at the beginning of  the season. However, with the help of carrick, the team has been able to qualify for the Champions League. It is certain  that they will take all the necessary measures to  strengthen  the squad this season. Manchester united management will also probably provide Carrick with a large fund to buy players of his choice. United will fight for the Premier League title next season

Manchester united initial performance was nothing to write home about but the moment Michael Carrick came in, the whole game changed as if he used magic and if it was possible some people would have said Michael Carrick used charm to make things work that way, just flashback and see how bad the team was and the position they were and seeing that they finished top 3 in the premier league table it was really unbelievable. i hope they will do even better this season but it is going to be very tough for Michael Carrick and the team because they will be playing different competition and sometimes this can affect a team performance.

Playing different competitions won't in any way affect a team performance. Moreover, Manchester United is the only club that will be playing different competitions. The fact that Manchester United wasn't doing initially before the arrival of Michael Carrick isn't because they were playing different competitions but because of the managers. So , Michael Carrick will definitely improve the team and win trophy for the Manchester United this coming season.

Yes you are correct, Manchester United is a strong team now and thank God to Carrick he did very well when he came to Manchester United, I believe that Manchester United will surely contest for the premier league trophy come next season, Carrick has built a different Manchester United that will fight till the end for the premier league trophy, the players love him so much and they are ready to do anything he ask of them, all the players in Manchester United just improved immediately Manchester United signed Carrick as the head coach.
They will surely compete with Arsenal for the premier league trophy come next season.

You are right, Manchester United are now in a good form and they are going to be a challenge to clubs like Manchester city and arsenal. I'm very sure that they are going to be strong contenders, they might not win the league title but they are definitely going to put in their best to finish the season at the third position.

That’s true. United’s chances would increase significantly, especially if there isn't a clear frontrunner - meaning three or four teams are contending for the title. Under those circumstances, United would have every chance of joining the race, since Carrick took charge, the team has boasted an exceptionally strong record against top Premier League clubs, and I don't think that was a coincidence. The most important thing is having multiple contenders; it is easier to compete when teams take points off each other than when one team crushes everyone - in which case, you have to consistently crush everyone yourself.

Man United has turned a new page under Carrick leadership, successfully bringing Man United back to show extraordinary performance, solid tactical stability and successfully secured a Champions League ticket. The club management made the right decision in appointing Carrick as coach because he has a deep understanding of the club's culture and has succeeded in uniting the dressing room and implementing an effective, pragmatic game.
Next season, Man United will benefit greatly from the transitional factor of other clubs who have just made a change of manager and need time to adapt to the new system. Arsenal is still the strongest competitor for its rival, Man United must be able to show extraordinary performance if they want to win the EPL trophy because for several seasons Arsenal has always consistently maintained its performance and peaked when they managed to win the title race.

It is very possible considering the development they showed last season since Carrick became their coach so it is natural that many people favor Manchester United next season but I will not be too excessive because we also have to remember that the competition in the Premier League is always fierce so it will not be easy for Carrick and Man United even though there is a possibility for them so at least in my opinion it is better than last season is good because they also still need time to process.

[Sarah Azhari]

I don't know why Arsenal has not sign a winger, if they don't sign a winger believe me they will find it difficult to lift the premier League again, they need a good winger because there wingers right now are not performing they are not doing what a winger should do they are not creating chances they need a winger that will create chances and pass ball to the striker to score, right now they don't have that kind of player they should be looking for a very good winger and spend huge amount of money to get a good winger.

Perhaps Arsenal is waiting until the World Cup is over before signing players, especially a left winger. Yes, as you said, Arsenal needs to sign a left winger because that’s an area they need to improve. Arsenal’s current left wingers aren’t good enough, since Martinelli and Trossard often fail to perform consistently. That’s why Arsenal needs to sign a left winger, and I’m sure Arteta has already thought about it.

I think the transfer window is still open to more than a month before the new season begins and since everyone still on the world cup experience, maybe they are giving it time to observe and later publish on their intentions on this to the media, as you have suggested, if needs be then they have to take adequate decision to ensure that the sign in a winger, everything is for their own good this new season we are about to start.

It seems that’s the case. Arteta and Arsenal’s scouting team are keeping an eye on players who are performing well at the World Cup with a view to signing them later. Especially since the transfer window is set to close in October, if I’m not mistaken. So, yes, fans will need to be patient until there’s an official announcement about the players Arsenal plans to sign.

Arsenal has developed to the point that they don't need average players in their team, to win the EPL for the second time in a role and compete more better in the Champions League, they'll need experienced players that are above average, maybe that's why they're still scouting players in the World Cup so they'll end up with better options for the positions they need.

 Maybe you're referring to the whole leagues in general cause i know that the transfer window for major leagues like EPL, Serie A, Laliga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga normally close on the first week of September especially on the first day so you should correct that. The window isn't hot yet, expect back to back transfers from August after the World Cup.

Honestly asmuch as I appreciate Carrick's performance at that point of his move but still I javelin this lingering feeling that starting the Premier League afresh is going to be a terror and real fierce.

Still can't anyone see Iraola, that's my most exciting manager for the next season stints.  I enjoyed his time in Bournemouth and I believe that now that he has been given the right squad, I he is going to be excellent and also a massive threat. Also let's not forget Xabi and Maresca as well as Arteta. Next season is going to be tough

[Velvet78]

Elliot Anderson is a really good start for Manchester City for their transfer campaign this summer. I'm wondering how many more is there to come...

Actually Maresca's system is not so different than Guardiola's. This is why I think he might not want to change the squad too much unless there are more leavers.

Are you saying that the players signed are not good enough to be successful in the Premier League Competition? The same players De Zebri and Tottenham Hotspur recruited are same players who did well one way or the other last season in the Premier League Competition. Tottenham Hotspur in my opinion are moving ambitions just the same way it should be for Manchester United.

I'm just afraid that he has not really won anything with Brighton and even in his coaching career. Will he ever win anything for Tottenham Hotspur? De Zerbi will have to show working.

No I'm not saying such thing. With these signings they can fight for top 4. I was only saying that it is really difficult for them to convince bigger names than these to sign for them. Because of having really poor years recently... 

[Tmoonz]

I have no doubt that Manchester United will do well next season under the management of Micheal carrick, if he was able to make significant changes last season within a short period of time then definitely there would be a new Manchester United next season. Even though they don't end up winning the league title or winning any trophy I think it's possible for them to finish the season at the top 3.

Manchester United will perform better than they did the last season looking at how Carrick tried to elevate the status of the club through his tactical approach in using the players available. This upgrade in the delivery of the player happened when he has not had a full understanding of the club yet as he was just walking the players through for the first season and I will not say he did entirely bad. If Carrick can have the same performance he pushed the last time with more support from the team managment, chances are he will outperform the performance he displayed the last season but the time is too early to jump into conclusions as we await his performance and the performance of the club this incoming season.

Despite his excellent performance in the just concluded season Manny football fans still doubt his credibility, they still believe he was only lucky, the ones that even annoy me the most is some Manchester United fans are also having such believe which is very wrong of them, we all saw the amount of hard work Michael Carrick put in that team and if not for him maybe Manchester United would have been among the team that was fighting to escape relegation now he's bring back Manchester United to the UEFA Champions League competition and yet some people still doubt him, anyways my take on this is just that they should let him start the season first, maybe if he didn't do well I can then agree to what ever they say.

You are becoming too over comfortable with that team, they did well but that was towards the end of the season when other teams were worn out from the matches, he came and used a strategy that works well for him but you know premier League, how it's interesting. By the time new season begins everything will change about the competition, people will come with this kind of energy that will not want to settle for less, expect the beginning to be fire.

There are like 4 teams that has change their coaches, so we are expecting a new settings of the team to become better than their previous team, so don't expect Manchester United to be all roses when the season resumew. It's the same way you are expecting better performance from Carrick is the same way Xabi will be pushing Chelsea and same Maresca will be pushing City and Arteta will be there as well pushing Arsenal too for better result.
