Guardiola, the core of the Manchester City dynasty team, has always been a player of great interest to fans. However, it is unfortunate that this season's performance has indeed declined significantly. It is almost impossible for them to win the championship in the Premier League. Therefore, there are now many rumors about Manchester City's rebuilding, among which everyone is more concerned about which players Guardiola wants to clean up. Among the players who are more concerned about leaving are De Bruyne and Grealish. De Bruyne has been the ace of Manchester City over the years, and the team's offensive end relies on his organization and passing. However, this season, his role has indeed been greatly reduced. Moreover, Manchester City currently has no intention of renewing his contract, so it is very likely that De Bruyne will leave after his contract expires. Grealish has performed very poorly in the past two years, so it is normal for him to leave at the end of this season. After Guardiola's rebuild, he also hopes to sign five superstars, the first of which is Bundesliga MVP Wirtz. As the ace who led Leverkusen to an undefeated championship last season, Manchester City has always hoped to sign him as their future core. The other players Guardiola is interested in are Musiala, Suvimendi, Marius, and Guehi, all of whom are strong players in their respective leagues. If Guardiola can create a new lineup for Manchester City, they will once again become the strongest team in Europe, making Real Madrid uneasy. After all, Manchester City's financial strength…

At 4 AM, Manchester United's Annual Finale! Amorim Under Pressure: A Loss Could Create Six Humiliations Beijing time, December 31 at 4 AM, the 19th round of the Premier League sees Manchester United host Newcastle. With B Fee and Ugart suspended, Manchester United's annual finale is set to be a tough match. For coach Amorim, losing this game would create six humiliating records. ‌[B Fee Suspended, Double Core Absence in Manchester United's Midfield]‌ In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Wolves, with B Fee receiving a red card and thus suspended for this match; Uruguayan midfielder Ugart received his fifth yellow card of the season and will also miss the game against Newcastle. The double core of Manchester United's attack and defense, B Fee and Ugart, are both absent, along with Lindelof, Mount, and Luke Shaw, as five players from the Red Devils are out of action. The last time Manchester United lost at home in the league to Newcastle was in December 2013, when Moyes led the team to a 0-1 defeat. This is also the only time in the last 39 league home games that the Red Devils have failed to beat the Magpies. However, in the fourth round of last season's League Cup, Newcastle defeated Manchester United 3-0 at the Theater of Dreams, leaving Ten Hag helpless. ‌[Can't Afford to Lose! A Loss for Manchester United Would Create Six Humiliating Records]‌ After 18 Premier League matches, Manchester United has only managed to secure 22 points, ranking 14th. They trail Liverpool at…

Nottingham Forest has climbed to second place in the Premier League after a 2-0 away victory over Everton, evoking memories of their past glory as European champions. The first goal was assisted by Anthony Elanga, who joined from Manchester United, with a header relay and one-two pass with striker Chris Wood, culminating in Wood's lobbed shot into the net. Elanga also played a part in the second goal, again teaming up with Wood, this time through a foot-pass, with Wood assisting Gibbs-White to secure the win. In his last four games, Elanga has contributed three goals and one assist, including scoring in three consecutive matches, playing a crucial role in Nottingham Forest's rise to the top four of the league table. Since leaving Manchester United for Forest, the 22-year-old winger has been involved in 20 goals in the Premier League, with a record of eight goals and 12 assists in 55 games and 3484 minutes, averaging a goal contribution every 174 minutes. Erik ten Hag sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest after bringing in his favorite player, Antony, who has scored and assisted fewer goals than Elanga in the same period. This is not to say that Elanga is superior to Antony, but rather to illustrate how well a player can perform after leaving Manchester United. So why couldn't he achieve the same at United? At Manchester United, Elanga played 39 Premier League games, mainly under interim manager Ralph Rangnick, with only three goals and three assists in 1791 minutes, contributing to a goal every 298 minutes, far less impressive than…

Manchester United spent 50 million euros to bring in Andre Onana, only to find that they had acquired another De Gea! The Cameroonian international goalkeeper, once considered a "revolutionary goalkeeper," was supposed to improve the team's passing and control but ended up relying on miraculous saves to attract attention. His number of low-level mistakes is not inferior to De Gea's during his declining state at the end of his tenure with the Red Devils, with unpredictable ups and downs in form. In recent matches, both Manchester United's starting and substitute goalkeepers have been directly scored against from corners, causing concern for head coach Ruben Amorim. Although bringing in a new goalkeeper is not the top priority in the transfer plan, the club is evaluating new goalkeepers and must at least introduce a more capable new signing to provide necessary competition for Onana. The 28-year-old Onana was praised at the beginning of the season for his multiple heroic saves that saved Manchester United, but recently he has made headlines for various errors. In the Premier League clean sheet rankings, he has been surpassed by Pickford of Everton, David Raya of Arsenal, and Mats Zelis of Nottingham Forest. Regarding whether he was fouled in the game against Wolves, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher explained that the opponent player Matt Doherty stood next to Onana first and did not actively move his position, so it was not a foul. "The rules allow players to choose their positions; he stood still without any foul actions," Gallagher said. "In fact, it was Onana who…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Leicester City away from home. In this match, Manchester City's 20-year-old new signing Savigno became the focus of the game. The young Brazilian winger finally scored his first goal for Manchester City after playing 24 games, and also assisted Haaland in scoring a header, helping Manchester City win 2-0 against Leicester City. After the game, Savigno was named the best player on the field. In this game, Savigno was arranged by Guardiola to play as a left winger instead of his familiar right winger position. In the 21st minute of the game, Savigno seized the opportunity. After Foden's long-range shot was saved, he quickly rushed in to complete the rebound, breaking the deadlock on the field and giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead. It is worth noting that this goal was not only his first goal for Manchester City but also his debut goal in the Premier League. Savigno's goal ended his embarrassing record of failing to score in 15 Premier League appearances with 27 shots. After playing 24 official matches for Manchester City, Savigno finally ended his goalless streak. Savigno's performance did not end there. In the second half, he once again became a key figure in the game. In the 74th minute, Savigno's precise cross found Haaland, who easily headed the ball into the net, securing a 2-0 victory for Manchester City. In this game, Savigno not only broke his own goal drought but also assisted his teammate Haaland in breaking his four-game goal drought, becoming the…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won 2-0 away against Leicester City, marking their second victory in the last 14 matches. In this game, new summer signing Savigno contributed with a goal and an assist, becoming the key player for the team's win. Haaland also ended his four-game goal drought by scoring in the match. However, for Manchester City fans, the biggest highlight of the game was 22-year-old McAtee. He came off the bench and created the team's second goal. After the game, Coach Guardiola publicly apologized to him, admitting that he had given McAtee too few opportunities before. In this game, McAtee came on as a substitute in the 66th minute, which was his third appearance in the Premier League this season and the first time he played before the 89th minute. When McAtee came on, the score was 1-0. The current Manchester City team is not good at maintaining a lead. A few minutes after McAtee came on, Vardy's header hit the post, causing a cold sweat among Manchester City fans. In the 73rd minute of the game, McAtee took the ball on the flank, made a brilliant dribble past a defender, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne, who then passed it to Savigno on the left and finally assisted Haaland to score the second goal for Manchester City. After leading 2-0, the hearts of Manchester City fans finally settled. After this goal, the Manchester City fans at the scene did not shout Haaland's name first, but instead they were calling out…

Following this win, Liverpool extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 23 matches, with a record of 20 wins and 3 draws, including 14 consecutive unbeaten matches in the Premier League. This is also the longest unbeaten run in all competitions among the top five leagues this season. As reigning champions, Manchester City faced off against Leicester City, coached by Van Nie, in a clash between two Premier League title-winning teams. City ultimately secured a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Savigno and Haaland, ending a run of five winless matches and eight consecutive away defeats. However, Tottenham Hotspur did not fare as well, drawing 2-2 at home with relegation-threatened Wolves.
