UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

I think Antony's extraordinary performance in La Liga is because besides the Spanish League is usually suitable for typical Brazilian players, on the other hand Antony already has a very good chemistry with Isco. In the end if Antony returns to Manchester United maybe we will see the old Antony again and we will miss the prime Antony at Real Betis. It seems difficult for Antony to develop at Old Trafford. Even Antony seems very happy at Betis in my opinion he has made a big contribution to Real Betis' performance.

The speculation you put forward is quite reasonable, where Anthony could lose his ability again when he returns to Old Trafford and plays for Manchester United, because at Manchester United he has never found a teammate who really fits him. And if that is the concern for Man United, then Man United should not miss the opportunity when Antony gets a high enough offer from another club, because besides Real Betis who are quite interested in being able to make Antony permanent, Bayern Munich are also quite interested in being able to bring Antony to the Allianz Arena.

When you play bad games in a row, you have to wait on the bench for a while. Neither the old nor the new manager put Onana on the bench. I think this decision is now damaging Manchester United. At least until the end of the year, Altay should be in goal. Manchester United should see how he plays when he is in goal. This could be an important move for next year's squad planning.

Man United has no more hope in the EPL, they are sure they will only finish in the middle of the standings. Therefore, maybe the coach can use the rest of their matches to do an experiment, including to give more trust to A, Bayindir to appear in the EPL match. This is quite important so that Man United can find the right strategy and line-up, so that Man United is really ready to face the next season. But regarding their match in the UEL, they must really perform well and seriously, because the UEL is their only hope to be able to win a trophy this season.

Ten Hag is a wasteful coach. During his time in United was when United spent a lot of money and got no result despite the huge amount of money that they have invested in the club. De Gea was sent out of the club by Ten Hag and the management had too much believe in him to the point that they gave him total control on making decisions and buying players of his choice. That was what crumbled United financial strength.

Erik Ten Hag. When will Manchester United finally overcome the problems heaped on them by Erik ten Hag? I think it’s unfair to Amorim that he has to come into a team that is discombobulated. I don’t know how Ruud van Nistelrooy managed to make it work for the few weeks he was the interim manager of Manchester United, it was probably beginners luck because Ruud van Nistelrooy’s run as Leicester City manager this season has been an absolute disaster. Let Amorim make his signings and showcase what his football philosophy can achieve in the Premier League.

It's a process you don't expect Amorin to turn things around in Manchester United because the structure was not even there for Amorin it's like someone giving you a house that is defective so the first thing that you have to do is to bring down the house and try and correct it and that is what Amorin is doing ten hang left a team that has no purpose, direction and ambition and Amorin is the one suffering


Manchester United board should release what ever money that Amorin needs so that he can strengthen the team especially for next season because with the current position of United in the table united needs to improve on their squad by bringing in quality players as it will be helpful because except united wins the Europa League Manchester United is not going anywhere

Looking at the results, my thinking is like:

• It is so difficult to predict the one to advance in the matchup at top. Lazio beat stronger opponents by at least 2 goals here earlier. But if Bodø/Glimt keep up this work I think they will be the one making it.  
• I expect Manchester United to move on - despite Onana  . Lyon were worse than I thought and missed a big chance home.
• I don't think we will see any surprises in the next one. Athletic Bilbao should be winning and continuing here.
• I feel like this is the end for Tottenham. They had a few shots hitting the post unluckily. In Germany their job will be much tougher.

For the second leg, of course it will be a little more difficult for us to predict the results of these four matches. Because in the first leg, my predictions were mostly inaccurate and to be honest, it makes me a little confused about which teams to bet on in the upcoming 2nd leg. Because a big team like Lazio also cannot be expected in the 2nd leg, although it is true that the 2nd leg will be held at their home base, but by losing on aggregate with a score of 2-0, I think it will be a little burdensome for Lazio. But if I bet on Glimt too, I personally am a little hesitant, because it is certain that at Lazio's home base Glimt will not be able to play as calmly as at their home base. So with that, I am also personally confused about which team to bet on in this match.

Then for the Manchester United vs Lyon match, I think Manchester United does have a great chance of winning. Because at Lyon's home ground Manchester United was able to survive with a draw. Although this is also not a satisfactory result, at least it is better than losing.

Then for the Bilbao VS Rangers match, Bilbao should also be able to take advantage of their home game well, because Bilbao also performed quite well when visiting Rangers headquarters. So if you want to take a big risk, maybe betting on Bilbao could be an option.

Then for the Tottenham VS Frankfurt match, I think Frankfurt has a greater chance of winning. Because in this second leg Frankfurt will be the host and of course that will be an advantage for Frankfurt. But even so, I personally still hesitate to bet on which team in this match. So with that, maybe I will see their performance in the domestic league first, so that my prediction can be better.

Manchester United doesn't have a striker, Hojlund is for decoration;

Onana is a mannequin during set pieces;

The only world class player in Manchester United is Bruno Fernandes;

Others are bunches of scum

I disagree with you because last season Hojlund did well but this season he has had fewer games. I think another issue is that typical Manchester United are not so used to playing with a number 9 except they are crossing in from the wings. I have watched games where Hojlund had to look for the ball, he is definitely not the problem.

Hojlund did well only for a small part of that season. Not in general of it. He scored a nice amount of goals for a while and then he suffered an injury. After recovering he was never the same which resulted in this.  

It is obvious that Manchester United needs a proper striker. They can't fully recover with players like Zirkzee and Hojlund clearly. The squad needs some big changes in the first place though.

I doubt them too much in a potential matchup against Athletic Bilbao in the next stage of the Europa League...

[Mayor of ogba]

Luckily Manchester United did not lose in that match, but what is quite regrettable is how the second goal was scored by Lyon in the added time so that Manchester United failed to maintain the victory.

Maybe the coach is doing some experiment to understand why many good players and even goalkeepers play well in other teams but when they arrive at Manchester United they play worse, but strangely when they leave Manchester United they play well again.
Manchester United has made terrible mistakes in the last 5 years

Fiorentina will trigger the option to extend David de Gea’s contract, confirmed.

“He will stay with us also next season”, president Rocco Commisso says.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1910935918502174981

At this point he would be playing for Manchester United and the team would have saved money, but they let him go and spent money to sign a goalkeeper who didn't have much experience in the Premier League. Honestly, I can't understand Manchester United's mistakes.

Erik Ten Hag was in a hurry to conclude that De Gea was Manchester United's problem, and he allowed De Gea to leave Manchester United and signed Onana, who wasn't able to outperform De Gea and solve Manchester United's problem, so I blame Erik Ten Hag for some of the things Manchester United is facing now. Ever since De Gea joined Fiorentina, he has kept 10 clean sheets and made some good saves for Fiorentina, which have made Fiorentina extend De Gea's stay at Fiorentina for one more year. If Manchester United wants De Gea back, it will cost them a good amount of money before Fiorentina will be willing to release De Gea to Manchester United.

Looking for the first leg match result of UEFA Europe League quarter final match, Bodø/Glimt one step closer qualify to semifinal round however second leg as away match but fully defense games play seems guarantee not loss above two goals. Bodø/Glimt have almost a week's recovery for the second leg match and no domestic league games give them an advantage over Lazio who only have a short time to recover after playing against AS Roma in Serie A.

For other matches seems difficult for predicting who will qualify to semifinal round exactly Manchester United vs Lyon, Both teams drew in the first leg with a score of 2-2 and the second leg is very crucial for predicting which one teams favorable lead to semifinal round although Manchester United as host team but bad capital in domestic league after defeating by Newcastle United last match seems not easy for defeating Lyon at second leg match.

That is the thing, some players have a better first half of the season and then do terrible on the second part. Haaland is usually like that too, I remember a season where he scored 250 goals until February and then 15 goals rest of the season. However, Hojlund is terrible generally all season long. Look at his stats because at the moment he has 8 goals all season long, and he played 40+ games already which means that is not going to be a good thing for them at all.

Osinmhen is a "must" for United at the end of the season so there is no way that United could have this type of finishing problem again, that dude scored like 30-40 goals or something over in Turkey this year. Neither Zirzkee nor Hojlund would be even remotely as good as him. Zirzkee had a few good positions this game, that passing one-two was good but that is it and there is nothing with this being resulted in a goal so there is no way for this to end good for United, they need Osimhen or at least a scorer like that.

Hojlund can't be included in the team this season if you are talking about Manchester players because he's not a regular player this season but based on the comment of @uchegod-21, I think the Manchester United players are in bad form this season especially Onana the goal keep for now I think Bruno Fernandes is the only player that is still in good form he keeps delivering his duties in every game.

Only Bruno Fernandez has been piloting the affairs of the club whenever they are playing. He single handedly took them far up to this point in Europa League. He is the only player worth keeping in the club if they're to offload all United players at the end of the season. The rest of the players are like shadows of themselves. I don't know if United will be able to win Lyon and qualify to the semifinals in their current form.

Agreed with most of them.

Yes, Onana is useless and should be sold this summer without even thinking twice. He is dangerous even if he becomes the backup goalkeeper. 

Yes, Hojlund is really inconsistent and can't be relied upon. Fernandes is very valuable for the team. We see it every season...

But in addition to him there are still useful players in the team. Such as Amad Diallo. 

[el kaka22]

Just because United had a terrible game against Newcastle, doesn't mean that they are going to end up with a terrible result once again, look at what they did against City and look at how they played against Lyon. By all seriousness, if that last mistake didn't happen then United would have won that game. Sure this 4-1 loss against Newcastle was a terrible one and that doesn't mean they are going to be destroyed by Lyon because of it.

I should be considering betting on United again, so we need to realize things will not be same between each game, I still see United as favourites for this game. So if you bet on United, do not make it because of me lol, but I am going to do it because there is absolutely no way that United would continue with this terrible method and keep on losing, because they are going to want to get better. The players "pick" games, when the games are more important they do a lot better but when they end up with unimportant games that won't be watched, they don't care.

Yes you are right, most of the players at Manchester United currently do not have good performance. This is not because the players have bad abilities, in my opinion it is caused by a lack of chemistry within the team and the players are most likely selfish. That is why even though Manchester United has many famous players, in reality Manchester United's performance is not optimal at this time. So the solution is that Manchester United must sell these players and look for other players who can form a team that is truly solid and not selfish. Because it is useless in a team there are many famous players but in reality these players cannot bring their team to have achievements.

In addition, talking about Bruno Fernandes, he is indeed a player who can be said to be quite different from other players at Manchester United. Because as we know he has calmness and in my opinion he is a player who is not selfish enough, so he can always make Manchester United always have opportunities in every match. So with that I also agree if Bruno is retained by Manchester United. But even so, we do not know what Manchester United management's assessment of Bruno is. So we'll just see at the end of the season, what Bruno's fate will be like at Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandez has not played well at times and he is a bit of a complainer, but compared to a number of other players he is one of the players worth keeping. Manchester United have a much better chance of progressing because Manchester United will decide their fate at home.

But if they make mistakes like in the first leg then Lyon have a chance because if you look at Lyon's game in the first leg they were much more dominant in the game and much more dangerous in the attack they built.

~Snip~

You are absolutely right in what you said. And now Amorim is even made dizzy to improve Manchester United's performance which is getting worse until it is nearing the end of the season even though if we look at the Europa League, Manchester United can still be said to be good because they have never lost until the first leg at Lyon's home. But for the second leg later, Amorim must be able to give the best to his players so they can win and not experience the same ridiculous things as happened in the first leg.

When Amorim debuted in EPL, Man United was in 12th position and now they are in 14th position, now all their hopes are on Europa League. Man United must maintain their status as an unbeaten team in the UEL this season if they want to qualify for the semifinals.
Now a tough job awaits Amorim, he must devote all his energy and mind to get Man United on the positive track in the second leg. I hope they don't make mistakes like in the first leg.

[giorgione]

one of the news that immediately caught my eye is that of Lazio, Lazio must be careful not to lose pieces in the Europa League, the attention shifts to who risks missing the possible semi-final due to disqualifications, I do not support Lazio but being an Italian team I follow it and it is possible that it could manage to reach the final

I will agree to that assessment but why do I feel like it was 14th position? Why so much pressure on Ruben Amorim? There's nothing tough about his job, I'm done defending these players but reading wanting Ruben Amorim out of Manchester United already has got to be dump. Most of these toxic Manchester United fans has little or no knowledge about football. If Manchester United scale through Lyon with a win on Thursday night then I'll believe they can win the Europa League Competition coz the quality in the competition is also low.

Of course it goes without saying that Lazio's chances of reaching the semi-finals are much slimmer due to their ineligibility. This Italian league team has highlighted their ineptitude in previous matches, leading us to assume that they are not the right team for this round. But we often see that Lazio is able to play defensively in their own league, but why they played that way in the Europa League is unknown to everyone. I think their performance against Roma yesterday was brilliant, they had the right attitude of revenge there. Maybe Lazio still has the ability to surprise everyone but it has to be done immediately in the next Europa League match.

The problem in Manchester United is not the manager, the problem is the current squad formed by wrong transfers. We should ask this not from Amorim but from Erik Ten Hag. Because in Holland, the manager is the architect of Manchester United's current squad. Manchester United even brought Cristiano Ronaldo to the team and got benefit from him, but later the Dutch manager sent Cristiano Ronaldo off the team due to his personal ambitions. Nothing went as Manchester United wanted after that. Perhaps if Cristiano Ronaldo had stayed on the team and been a source of motivation for the players, Manchester United would be at a much different level today.
