.......................

Manchester United is a disgrace of Club to me, Old Trafford is no longer a fortress like it used to be, now I understand why the management has a new plan for a new Stadium, I was very disappointed with Manchester United and Amorim style of play and I question his decision making, Manchester United is not a team that should be loosing games at home, I am so ashamed how a win against Lyon in the European League should be a priority for Manchester United and the way they celebrated, Now it seems more like winning the European League is a priority for Manchester united, But I still feel it will be heartbreaking the way they are playing, If they take that style against Athletic Club.     

Admit it or not, after the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's era, Manchester United's main goal suddenly changed, they no longer prioritized winning trophies but prioritized commercial interests. However, it turned out to be a boomerang, because with Man United's absence in winning the EPL trophy and other prestigious trophies, it reduced the profits obtained by Manchester United, and now the team is entangled in financial problems.

Currently the team is struggling to return to its glory days, but unfortunately it was just a dream and the team never returned to its glory days.

Regarding Man United's performance in the UEL, their journey to win the UEFA Europa League Trophy this season, seems quite difficult and winding.

Manchester United failed to win at home against Wolverhampton.Wolverhampton managed to win with a goal scored by Pablo Sarabia in the 77th minute and got their 5th consecutive win.Since Vitor Pereira took over the team, there is a noticeable increase in performance and we can say that he has saved the team from relegation.
Chelsea managed to come back from Fulham away with a last minute goal.Chelsea won the game with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the second half after being defeated in the first half and managed to increase their points to 57.It must be said that Chelsea played a better game compared to their opponent.

At this stage, the winner and the 2nd place are almost guaranteed to be Liverpool and Arsenal respectively, but we might have some drama up to the very end in the fight for the rest of the Champions League zone places (3-5).
The league is not stopping, we have the last game of the round 33 today (Tottenham Vs Nottm Forest) and the round 34 starts tomorrow.
If Forest wins tonight, they'll jump up to third place.
Tomorrow, Man City is hosting Aston Villa. City are x1.85 favourite, but Villa have been doing really great lately with 5 straight league wins and they demolished Newcastle in their last game. It will not be a walk in the park for the City.

[Jossque]

Arsenal did not make a mistake away from home.Arsenal scored 2 goals in the first half and 2 in the second half against Ipswich and defeated their opponents 4-0 in total.We can say that the match became even easier for them when their opponent was reduced to 10 men in the 32nd minute.
Liverpool also managed to win by not making mistakes away from home.Liverpool, who played a dominant game against Leicester City, managed to win the match with the goal scored by Alexander Arnold.1 week later, Liverpool will play the match in which Liverpool will officially announce the champion.Arsenal will not have a chance to close the points.Regardless of the other results, if Liverpool wins the match, they will announce their championship.

It's official that Manchester United doesn't care about what happens to them anymore in the league as they have pushed all concentration and focus in the Europa League, because the last time Manchester United won any Premier League game was against Leicester City and elwe all know the position of this team on the log. Before that was, Ipswich Town, lol. I just hope they really perform continuously in the Europa so they can win it, if not, it's really going to be a disastrous season for them.

I came to this thread specifically for Manchester United
Their fans celebrated their last win like they won the UCL
Forgetting what Manchester United has turned to in recent years
And with such performance I don't see them getting any silverware this season.
I was like let me give them the benefit of the doubt and place in win or draw
Only for them to loss and cut my slip 

Hahaha, that is really funny and are you saying all these because they cut your ticket lol though Manchester united is not really trying at all, Manchester united use to be the biggest and the strongest in England but over how many years now they have been nothing and I don't really know what is taking them so long to build back the club to what they are before now. Even after possessing Wolverhampton yesterday they still lose the match. That yesterday I thought Manchester united will win because they have lost a lot of game in the premier league and so I went to play them and Chelsea straight win but Manchester united cut the ticket.

It is only a matter of time Liverpool are declaring the title officially... Liverpool only need to beat Tottenham this week for that and congrats!

There is nothing exciting left there as a result. The competition for the Champions League spots looks way more interesting.    I feel like it will be Newcastle, Manchester City and Aston Villa making it. I thought Forest would be one of them but changed my mind.

I don't trust Chelsea with their unbalanced look...

[shinratensei_]

They had a magical night at Old Trafford against Lyon in that second leg, but Manchester United fans should not be deceived into thinking that they will win the Europa League. Lyon were down the 10 men and they capitulated in the last minutes of that game, on any other day this season, Lyon would have eliminated United.

Manchester United are 14th in the EPL, and only two points separate them from West Ham in 17th position, that is both unbelievable and terrible and only the Europa League can save their season, because it will send them into the CL next season.

Manchester United result against Wolves don't surprise me. It makes me think if were only getting some luck against Lyon. There might be something wrong with them, but pretty obvious the squad lack of mentality. They also lack of physicality, and never get solved. Believe me or not, they will finish at 17th as nothing change from their pattern.
Things worsen when they have only so many young inexperienced players in their squad. They always played without leaders who can help their young lads.

Their only chance is now europa league, and once they failed. They will be massively blamed by their fans.

It's well deserving for Liverpool this season, because they have no rivals for the title, arsenal that was the closest to them wasn't consistent enough to mount a strong title challenge, so as it stands now, Liverpool need just two more points to be crown champions, so a big congratulations in advance to them.

Then as for the race for champions league qualifications, that's where the real battle is because three more spot are quite open and achievable by any of this teams, so I wouldn't rule any of them out completely, even most of the teams you choose aside Manchester city are also inconsistent like Chelsea, so I don't see Aston villa, Newcastle or even Nottingham Forest better than Chelsea, their is still more five games to play for, which is approximately 15points, though anything can still happen between now and the end of the season, but I don't think that it's ideal ruling Chelsea out completely due to inconsistency, because all of them are also inconsistent, that's why they are where they are now.

[Distraction]

Who is going to take the remaining CL spots after Liverpool and Arsenal? This is the question we are asking ourselves lately.

I see Newcastle as a clear favourite for one of those spots. No matter they lost to Aston Villa like that I don't think they will lose their focus. Manchester City would also squeeze through thanks to having a high quality squad. In this case there is only 1 spot left... For that place, I'm hesitant between Forest and Aston Villa. I mean Emery's team are in much better condition now. But will Nuno Espírito Santo just give up that easy? 

Yeah, I'm also ruling out Chelsea. 

[Marvell1]

Arsenal did not make a mistake away from home.Arsenal scored 2 goals in the first half and 2 in the second half against Ipswich and defeated their opponents 4-0 in total.We can say that the match became even easier for them when their opponent was reduced to 10 men in the 32nd minute.

We have already predicted that Arsenal will win against Ipswich. Ipswich is one of the weakest teams in the Premier League. The team has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. A strong team like Arsenal will not lose points against such a team. Arsenal won a wonderful 4-0 win in the match. Arsenal had 75% ball possession. Despite Ipswich being a home match, we only saw Arsenal dominating. I did not see a single strong attack from Ipswich players.

Liverpool also managed to win by not making mistakes away from home.Liverpool, who played a dominant game against Leicester City, managed to win the match with the goal scored by Alexander Arnold.1 week later, Liverpool will play the match in which Liverpool will officially announce the champion.Arsenal will not have a chance to close the points.Regardless of the other results, if Liverpool wins the match, they will announce their championship.

Liverpool has been eliminated from the Champions League. The Premier League title is also guaranteed to Liverpool. Liverpool is 13 points ahead of Arsenal. So no match is that important for Liverpool now. Liverpool is preparing for next season. The coach is trying to strengthen his squad for next season.

Although the match is not important for Liverpool, Liverpool has secured 3 points. They won by a small margin of 1-0. But since the opponent was weak, I predicted Liverpool would win by at least 2 goals.

[SatoPrincess]

I was so pessimistic when i watched Chelsea's game play at the first half, and i thought they have no chance to win. They looked bad, and toothless. However, happy with Maresca's decision to subbed in young lad, and send off jackson. It creates big difference today.
This young lad teached his senior about how to score, and happy it continues with how Neto spun like a tornado when he's scoring second goal.
They need to put their young lad, Tyrique George as a starting line up instead of madueke. I think it's working.

What an impressive performance by Chelsea yesterday. It’s not easy to come back from a one goal deficit in the second half against a tough opponent in the Premier League to finish 2-1. Chelsea need to be winning games comfortably to compete with the big teams in the league, if it requires the youngsters to do the job then Maresca should put them in and let them make things happen.

They don't care about the PL anymore because of not being under the threat of relegation.    I understand them about that anyway. Because while they need to shift all their focus on their only trophy chance they can't risk it.

But the truth is that this season is the worst for them by far... Even a Europa League title won't be enough to show it better. But at least they can qualify for the CL even in this condition of course. But the next opponent is Athletic Bilbao there so I don't know...

Chelsea and Nottingham forest is rule out of top four, Newcastle,Manchester City,Arsenal  and Liverpool will earn the top four spot, Nottingham forest is messing up and  I don't see that zeal in the team to finish top four, Newcastle and  Manchester City will do everything to win their remaining games.

The only hope, Nottingham forest and Chelsea have to play in Champions league is if Any English Premier league wins the champions league and European league. English Premier league will have more slots in European competitions next season.

It’s crazy how Manchester United always find the perfect excuses to their failures but it’s okay and understandable. Let’s just be hopeful that Manchester United will win the Europa League if not it will be very shameful not to qualify for any European competition for the coming season. We shall see when they face Atletico Bilbao, how well they will fare and if they can beat Bilbao.

[Webetcoins]

I really can’t pinpoint Chelsea’s problem this season because they were playing very well in the beginning of the season. Chelsea convinced us that Enzo Maresca was the saviour brought in to take the club to the very top, only for us to be witnessing something totally different few months later. Chelsea supporters, you still think Enzo Maresca is the right man for the job?

Enzo Maresca arrival was for having good improvement, but sadly things not works as management was expecting, but wholesale changes were also done because mostly were expecting management is having change of business model here at Chelsea, but this is also not working as they needed. Currently, their best bet is can they qualify for the Champions League, or they are going to miss another chance which is looking more likely to happen because their attack fail to give them good result which biggest problem despite having many good strikers into their squad things are not working it's really miserable.

A lot of people are so disappointed at Manchester United which is understandable. Losing to Wolves at Old Trafford was a big embarrassment to Ruben Amorim and the entire team. They could not score even one goal in their home in a match everyone expected them to win with motivation drawn from their last loss to Newcastle. With the result, its obvious Manchester United have given up on the premier league and put all their attention in the Europa league which they have not lost any match.

Manchester United this lost against Wolves not mean for them because they are now preparing for big game against Athletic Bilbao which is their best bet for their survival at the end of this worst ever season things are completely down and no hope of improvement. In April, they play total 6 games with one win AET and 2 draws and 3 loses telling all story of their season in Premier League 4 games with 3 loses and 1 draw coming 4 games in two weeks with two in Europa League are their priority because their best option is just this so now just wait for these games and results for their future.

Tomorrow, Man City is hosting Aston Villa. City are x1.85 favourite, but Villa have been doing really great lately with 5 straight league wins and they demolished Newcastle in their last game. It will not be a walk in the park for the City.

Yes and Liverpool will be celebrating their 20th Premier League trophy in history. The Reds have been waiting for the 20th trophy for a long time so no team can feel arrogant about winning trophies so far.
We hope the party takes place at Anfield and not at another stadium. YNWA.

The fight for automatic qualification to the Champions League is very interesting after this week all teams except Tottenham vs Nottingham have not finished round 33. If Nottingham win, the competition will be even more exciting because Nottingham will replace Newcastle and Manchester City from positions 3 and 4 in the standings.
The distance between the points of the teams in positions 3 to 5 is not far so the fight for the Champions League spots is likely to be decided until the last game of the season.

[SatoPrincess]

Wolverhampton, the in-form team of recent weeks, will travel to Manchester United today. Since Manchester is the home team, betting sites show them as the favorites, but Wolverhampton is in better form and Manchester is a tough opponent.
Manu came out of a tough Lyon match during the week. The players will be tired in this match. I think Wolverhampton will not be defeated.
I can even bet on Wolverhampton's victory in surprise coupons. The odds given for the victory are very attractive.

You were absolutely correct with your prediction for this Manchester United vs Wolves game. Wolves did not come to mess around in the weekend, however, it is no surprise that Manchester United lost to Wolves at home, I believe we should be used to Manchester United losing now, tbh it is always a surprise when Manchester United win a match.

[Volgastallion]

Super sad to see we already have two teams going to championship in a league like Premier where we expect to see the best football and a super high level in all the teams, two teams in relegation with a few rounds left is pretty bad, and this is not the first time is happening, relegation fight is settled by a long time in this tournament.

I hope next year we ahve a battle for relegations spots until the end.

Their last defeat against Lyon gave them an edge to boost on social media, though well deserved, but the united fans felt a booming recognition across the world after advancing in goals during the match. With such a persisting performance the red devils will do better to replenish for the losses they've had in the premier league, and put smiles back on fans in the Europa league next game against Athletic club.

This is true because Manchester United have been out of the title race several times due to their failures, which is why they talk about Manchester United's record in view of this failure. The reason for this is that Manchester United have played some matches badly and still play badly, but they also play and win matches with some of their good performances. It is not true to hope that just because Manchester United is included in this league, if we give them the right to win in this league, it is a disgrace to the other teams. If they play well, they can be included for the next season, which will be their chance.If they play like this, they can do anything, otherwise they will lose every match.
