I may never be willing to bet on Manchester United again this season. Manchester United have disappointed me time and again and they have made me suffer financially. I never imagined that they would perform like this against Como and they lost by such a huge margin. Seeing their performance towards the end of last season, there was a hope in the hearts of every Manchester United fan that Manchester United would do something great, but their position this season has become much worse than last season.

Firstly I don't know if you are a Manchester United fan, but I will advice you that you don't bet on teams because you support them, but rather you bet on teams because you want to win your bet. I think Manchester United is the worst team to bet on right now, I have realized it earlier in the season and I have made up my mind not to bet on them. I am really not surprised that they lost to Como yesterday,  because Manchester united is not the team we used to know, they are so poor right now and I must confess that I really pity their fans, because I know they are going through a lot right now.

Saka's injury was really bad for Arsenal. Eze came on in his place in Bayern game and played well, also scored a goal. But if Saka's injury lasts more than 2 weeks, he'll miss 5 matches. Fortunately they don't have any particularly tough matches during that time. They can win matches against Everton, Fleetwood and Slavia Prague without him. Liverpool match will be tough, playing there away is always difficult. They should win the home game against Hull City without Saka as well. If Saka's injury lasts much longer, then Arsenal will be in trouble. Arteta is right to be concerned.

Saka has missed many games over the past 2 seasons due to injuries. It looks like this season won't be different. This is unfortunate because Saka had started the season well. Hope he recovers faster.

So far it looks like Saka’s injury may be quite serious. There’s still no official information on how bad the injury is or how long he’ll be out, but preliminary reports suggest that he injured his quadriceps. There are also reports in the press that Saka left the stadium on crutches after the match, which could indicate that the injury is serious. However, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet and wait for official information.

In fact one would expect such a good decision from an experienced bettor but we the new most of the time bet on the favorite team. At the moment Manchester United is one of the worst teams to bet on. The gamblers was bet on Manchester United they are disappointed.
In fact I bet on Manchester United not only as the favorite team but also because the team has been going through a long period of bad times and they were the favorite against a relatively less strong team like Como. But the level of the team bad performance is gradually increasing.

When betting, we should not look at the team's name but rather on the team's recent performance. If we do not do this, we will end up losing, as happened to those who bet on Manchester United.

For Manchester united, my prediction has always being BTTS because they can't keep a clean sheet. Their game against Como was really disappointing, a 4-1 loss was a huge gap for a club like Manchester united. You could see in their faces that they did not bother to fight back for a win, they gave up on the match even before the game ended and that's a bad mentality.

Carrick should be frustrated at this point and I would not entirely blame him, because we have seen these same players perform poorly time without number when things are not going well with the club. The only players that showed the zeal to win in yesterday's game was Amad and Baleba, Bruno Fernandes was a total mess in that game and substituting him was definitely the right decision.

Manchester United really does seem to be a cursed club for managers ever since Alex Ferguson stepped down.
Michael Carrick did some magic at the end of last season and everyone was super optimistic about the performance of the club this season under his management, but things are not looking very bright for him. Very disappointing league performance (i.e. only one win in seven rounds) is paired with poor Champions League results. Today Man United suffered an embarrassing loss to Como, 4-1.
Carrick is already under pressure, but given the club's turbulent history with almost every manager after Ferguson, I'm not sure if it will be easy to find a proper replacement if the situation doesn't improve.

As expected, a wave of speculation about Carrick's future emerged in the main British media today. Some examples:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cm1wvl5524rno
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/10/21/como-vs-man-utd-champions-league-live-score-updates/
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/man-united-como-live-score-champions-league-result-b3070769.html

So it's fair to say Man United's next game against Bournemouth (at home) could be crucial in deciding whether the club will grant Carrick more time or write him off.
Bournemouth are also in a similarly poor position, with only one league win so far. If United fail to earn 3 points on Sunday, it will not spark optimism for their chances of winning following games: Chelsea (away), AS Roma (home) and Aston Villa (home).

 I don't think the champions is made for some certain club especially for clubs like Manchester United because Como really worked on them and it was hilarious as fuck because bro the damage they did we should try and check on Manchester United fans because most of them might be hospitalized as a result of yesterday's game. And I saw a lot video about people that placed a bet on Manchester United all lost there bet yesterday and I saw how they were lamenting I could not just stop laughing, I don't see my self placing bets on clubs like Manchester United.

And because of there performance last season they all taught the team is ready some Said they could even win the Champions League and I know it won't be possible, and they have realized how poor there club is and this is the same clubs that are busy condemning other clubs I don't want to even hear any club saying anything bad about any other club because to me they are worst currently and they don't have that right, I was waiting for one of their fans to come and defend there nonsense still waiting.

Honestly the results we are seeing from Manchester United’s games are very poor and every fan are not happy with this result because there’s no fan that will still be happy when he or she is seeing his team playing way below their potential especially at the biggest stage, it’s very devastating for any team. But I know that Manchester United will be back and they will be back stronger and better, just that we don’t know when they will be back to their full potential as a team but for now, their fans just need to be patient with the team even though it’s like a hopeless situation right now because they have been struggling since last season or so

[Samlucky O]

Manchester United got a point away at Elland Road. To me, that’s a win. Manchester United fans should take the point and move on. You expect too much from a team that’s struggling to find its identity and style. The players obviously lack leadership and discipline, Bruno Fernandes isn’t a character you want to build a team around. IMO his attitude hurts the team more than anyone else in the squad, which is like karma because of how he was made to be the “savior” in the Portugal national team. 

I disagree with you, it's Manchester United against Leeds and not Manchester United against Chelsea or Liverpool or Arsenal or Manchester City. If this was the case it's going to be normal but Manchester United struggling against Leeds is not suppose to be. The team is struggling but do they need to be struggling in all the games, I guess not. It's becoming out of the ordinary Manchester United was never like this from when most of us started watching football. It is not only Bruno who's not doing well, the team is not performing but there are games Manchester United shouldn't be struggling to win against

So far it looks like Saka’s injury may be quite serious. There’s still no official information on how bad the injury is or how long he’ll be out, but preliminary reports suggest that he injured his quadriceps. There are also reports in the press that Saka left the stadium on crutches after the match, which could indicate that the injury is serious. However, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet and wait for official information.

Of course, this is an indicator of a possible serious injury, and it’s definitely going to make Mikel Arteta very worried after he felt sharp pain without any physical contact from an opponent. Usually, when an injury happens without physical contact, it tends to last longer.

Clearly this is bad news for Arsenal. After previously losing Tzolis now Arsenal also has Saka following with an injury. The options on Arsenal wings are becoming more limited and maybe Arteta will play Eze and Madueke which of course will put more pressure on them.

If you look at it from Saka injury Arenal will face various problems that will happen especially since he is the most irreplaceable player in the squad. With the quadriceps injury he suffered, he will definitely be out for a long time and for Saka, this is also a severe blow to his career because as a result of the injury, it will be difficult for him to regain his best performance.

Injuries are always a big problem, Arsenal in theory shouldn't suffer from this injury anyway, they have a large squad made up entirely of very good players.
Clearly it depends on the severity and one must hope not to receive further shortcomings in the game, otherwise more than one injury becomes heavy to bear.
It's not true that he is irreplaceable by the, he covers his role great, but in any case he is not the only one to support the weight of the team, they do not play alone and will help each other, which Real Madrid would not do for example.

With the current Manchester United performance I also think a draw with Leeds united is a good achievement for them to build on because we all know that Leeds united at home is not an easy team to beat, on a normal day Manchester United should have lost that game. I think it's high time we should stop expecting much from United, they are not at the same level as before anymore. I won't be surprised if they lose matches to even smaller teams now.

All players are struggling, and it's probably because they lack a playing strategy and the coach has not been doing what he should be doing properly, no serious motivation even though the problem still goes way beyond what we think, I believe the management has a hand in it too and it's all affecting the players too.

I expected more from Bruno Fernandes against Como. However, if I focus only on Bruno's poor performance, I may miss the other problems that I noticed in United's defeat.

After watching the match against Como, I felt that United's defense also had enough problems. They could not stop Nico Paz for the first goal. Again, Baleba lost the ball in their own half and Paz scored another goal. So, if we put all the blame on Bruno's performance, will we understand the picture of the match at all?

[Shineup]

Manchester united has gotten a kind of stat this season, seven (7) league games, with seven points, three (3) UEFA champions league games with three points, after ten games played in both the English premier league and the UEFA champions league, they've managed to secure ten (10) points from both leagues, smiles really amazing, now the question is does this players really want to play for Manchester united, because I can sense they are doing all this on purpose, yes they are doing it on purpose, because it's too obvious.

I know that sometimes or most times Manchester united always find it difficult to win small team like Leeds united, Fulham, crystal palace and few others but this time around is very different, Leeds is not in a good form so they were supposed to win the game but they could not which is worth questioning why? And I also know that they can be strong when playing against bigger teams like Arsenal, Chelsea Liverpool, and Manchester city but right now i doubt if they can.

This is not good for Arsenal and looking at their most recent fixtures, they should be able to manage without him. Let’s hope this is not a long term injury like we saw last season when he missed most of their important matches. Arsenal needs him very much to help them prevail and stand a good chance for the premier league title. Their biggest rival is looking dangerous and they need to keep a very close point gap between them in order to get a good chance at the title. Let’s hear from the officials of the club, hopefully it won’t be that bad that we see him out for many weeks or even a month plus.

Aside from reducing the squad depth, Arsenal fans are less worried because in Saka position, Madueke is handling the position very well, way better than Saka does. A replacement in that position is not an issue for Arsenal, with or without Saka, Arsenal will still compete at the highest level. I feel bad for him as a player, injuries are not a good thing, but we already see him as an injury-prone player, quick recovery for Saka.

It’s actually a difficult situation for Manchester United, they are facing some setbacks in the club, the players are not happy, the coach is not good enough for the team and the management don’t want to change him despite his poor form, they don’t want to settle him off and have to sign another manager, but their fans are not happy at all and want Carrick to be sacked because even Amorim did better than Carrick.

The stats is not convincing at all, the team is currently rated as an average team because of their performance, their Champions League lose against Como isn’t acceptable at all because, Como was proof and claimed that they even gave Manchester United chance to even score one goal which is disrespectful. Manchester United needs to step up. Their match against Bournemouth should be a win to give their fans some confidence in the players ahead of their other big matches because they have Chelsea to play after that match.

[Youngrebel]

even Amorim did better than Carrick.

Before saying or concluding that Amorim did better than Carrick you first meet to  compare their performances and results properly, checkmate it well do a better research and compare to me at times i feel like the main issue with Manchester United is that the club keeps struggling to find stability, even after changing managers and a new coach cannot fix everything overnight if the players are not stable snd read and I also think that at this point, the management also needs to take responsibility instead of making the manager the scapegoat for every problem.

Ironically this is so unique.
The team and fans are not ready for something good to change their dark stories.

I know they will bounce back and soon the fans will continue their delusion and thereby thinking they can lift a trophy the coming season once they make to top 5 again. Whereas they should be fighting against management for them to do something right and getting the necessary addition for better consistency as a team and soon get back to winning ways,  now they still lack clear path.

The management subpar, and I will say the same about Michael Carrick. If we're serious, all Manchester United fans should hit the streets calling for an end to both the management and manager.
Off course, Ruben Amorim might not have seen immediate success but he sure had clear structure and how he wanted to playful the management refused sticking to him. There's this news of a back and forth between Michael Carrick and Brazilian Cunha. One can clearly see that these players do not have no regard for Michael Carrick in the dressing room.
