In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United suffered a two-goal defeat at home to Newcastle, marking their third consecutive loss in the league and their fifth defeat in the last six matches. Despite still ranking 14th, they are increasingly distant from the Champions League spots while inching closer to the relegation zone. Relegation? A topic that seemingly should not exist has suddenly become a reality for Manchester United. Captain Fernandes was suspended due to a red card, and Ugaite was also absent due to accumulated yellow cards, leaving a "vacuum" in Manchester United's midfield. Casemiro and Eriksen, both 32-year-old "veterans," were forced to start together. With two nearly identical header goals, Newcastle managed to crush Manchester United in less than 20 minutes, leaving Amorim with no choice but to substitute Zirkzee at the 33rd minute. The Dutch forward shed tears as he left the field. The tears flowed not only on the players but also filled the hearts of the fans. In eight Premier League games under Amorim, the team only managed two wins, one draw, and five losses, a record as poor as their city rivals, Manchester City, making the two Manchester teams the worst "twin bears" in the Premier League. Statistics show that throughout 2024, Manchester United accumulated only 51 league points, setting a new record for the worst performance in their Premier League history. If it weren't for Van Nistelrooy's temporary coaching stint that earned them four points, and if they hadn't made a comeback against Manchester City, they would have already fallen into…

As the year 2024 comes to an end and 2025 approaches, the winter transfer window for the Premier League is about to open. According to British media reports, six players from the English Premier League giants Manchester United will have their contracts expire at the end of the season, and they will be able to freely negotiate with overseas non-English clubs for a free transfer starting from January 1st. For Manchester United and their new coach Ruben Amorim, they will face challenges and need to make some significant decisions about their future. Among these six players, four are expected to stay, while two are likely to leave. Amad Diallo is the first on the list, the 22-year-old player has become a key player under the guidance of Portuguese coach Ruben Amorin, scoring two goals and providing five assists in 10 games. It is understood that Manchester United has an option to extend Diallo's contract by another year, but they definitely hope to reach a new long-term contract with this winger. Multiple sources report that discussions are underway, and both Amorim and Diallo have made their positions clear. "I think he wants to stay, and we also want him to stay, so it's clear, we will find a solution," Amorim said earlier this month. Diallo also admitted last month: "I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to play for this club, yes, I want to stay here for a long time and create history with this club." Harry Maguire is another player whose contract expires at the…

Manchester United suffered another defeat in the 19th round of the Premier League, losing at home to Newcastle. In the first half, Isaac scored with a header just four minutes into the game, and then Joe scored another header for Newcastle in the 19th minute. After this loss, one player is unlikely to get another chance. Manchester United lost 0-2, and we can now see that Ten Hag's protégé is lazier than Martial, scoring only one goal in eight games and being substituted after 33 minutes. Manchester United has lost four consecutive games, failing to score in the last three matches. At the halfway point of the Premier League season, United has only managed to secure 22 points. Last season, they finished eighth, but currently sit in 14th place. In their first game of the new year, Manchester United will visit Anfield to face league leaders Liverpool. Given their current form, this match looks ominous. It is unlikely that Manchester United forward Zirkze will play in the next game against Liverpool, as his performance has disappointed coach Amorim. In the match against Newcastle, Zirkze started the game, but had 15 touches and lost possession seven times, with nine passes and only three successful ones. He lost the ball too often, and both of Manchester United's goals were related to Zirkze. Before the first goal, Dalot's long pass was intended for Zirkze, but he reacted slowly, not ready to receive the ball, and missed it with his leg, resulting in an out-of-bounds play. Newcastle took advantage of this opportunity to organize…

On December 31, 2024, for Manchester United's young player Zirkzee, it was the heaviest day of his life. This day was not only the last day of 2024, but also one of the lowest moments in Zirkzee's career. In the match against Newcastle, Manchester United suffered a 0-2 defeat, with Zirkzee, as a starting player, being substituted after only 33 minutes on the field, and then emotionally broke down, unable to hold back his tears on the spot. A performance repeatedly questioned: Zirkzee's dilemma and depression During the summer transfer window, Manchester United spent a high fee of 36.5 million pounds to bring in the 23-year-old Zirkzee from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. As a promising young player, Zirkzee's arrival was highly anticipated, hoping that he could bring new offensive vitality to the team. However, reality gave the fans a cruel answer. Although Zirkzee performed well in the Netherlands, he has never been able to show his due level on the field of Manchester United. From the beginning of the season until now, Zirkzee's performance has been in a trough. In the match against Newcastle, he still failed to break through his bottleneck. The game had barely started for less than 20 minutes when Manchester United was already trailing 0-2, and Zirkzee had no highlights on the field, almost invisible in the attack and with no outstanding performances in defense. Worse still, when the game reached the 33rd minute, head coach Amorim made a shocking decision - to replace Zirkzee with Menu. This substitution not only shocked the fans and teammates,…

How difficult is it to never be relegated in the Premier League? Only 6 teams have achieved it, including Everton, while even a strong team like Manchester City has not accomplished it. The Premier League, one of the most watched leagues in European football, has attracted the attention of fans worldwide since its inception in 1992. The league has developed for over 30 years, gradually improving and seeing an increase in the strength of its teams. Some weaker teams in the league have been relegated, with some perhaps returning to the Premier League and others possibly falling into obscurity. So, in the more than 30-year history of the Premier League, which teams have never been relegated? Let's take a look today. Everton - Best Result: Fourth Place Although Everton has never won the Premier League title, the Toffees have never been relegated in their 33-year history in the Premier League. In the inaugural season of the Premier League, Everton finished 13th with 53 points, successfully remaining in the top flight. In subsequent seasons, despite not having any standout performances, Everton managed to stay in the Premier League, continuing to compete at the highest level of English football. The 2004-05 season saw Everton achieve their best result in the Premier League to date, finishing fourth with 61 points from 18 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. Everton also finished fifth in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, maintaining a mid-table position in subsequent seasons. In the 2022-23 season, Everton narrowly avoided relegation by finishing fourth from bottom. In the 2023-24 season, Everton…

The English Premier League season is already halfway through, with Liverpool leading the pack, Arsenal expected to falter as usual, Chelsea making a strong comeback, Manchester City experiencing a dramatic decline, and Manchester United replacing their manager, Ten Hag, mid-season. The new manager, Amorim, seems to be sinking deeper into trouble. Following Ten Hag's departure, the problems associated with his transfer strategy have begun to surface and explode. Players like Anthony and Mount were acquired for more than double their market value, while players like Zirkzee and Malacia struggle to perform even as starters on average teams. Hojlund and Jolo show potential but require continuous training and significant room for personal growth. Experienced players like Casemiro, Weghorst, and Evans are temporary solutions that cannot fundamentally solve the team's issues. Ten Hag's loyal players, such as De Ligt and Lima, have notable technical weaknesses and cannot guarantee reliable results for the team. It could be argued that Mourinho's era presented the best opportunity for Manchester United's transformation. However, the club's management was short-sighted, supporting troublemakers and forcing out the Portuguese coach, missing the chance for change. Subsequently, the club's problems became increasingly pronounced and sharp, accumulating to a point where they cannot be resolved simply by changing coaches or bringing in one or two new players. The market value of these overpriced, mediocre signings has severely diminished, making it difficult to offload them even at half price, stalling the team's rebuilding efforts. Therefore, the young Portuguese coach faces a heavy task. Despite his superior tactical concepts and ambitions, the effects will…

In the Premier League's 19th round of matches, both Manchester United and Chelsea suffered defeats. Manchester United faced Newcastle United at home, where they have been consistently underperforming, setting new lows. In their match against Newcastle United, Manchester United conceded quickly, with their goal breached in just the fourth minute. A cross from Hall was headed in by Isak, exposing United's vulnerability to simple flank crosses. United failed to learn from this mistake and were again caught out by a similar tactic, with Gordon assisting Joelinton for another header. Two headers proved too much for Onana to handle, leaving United with no choice but to accept a 0-2 defeat, extending their losing streak to four games. Despite playing at home, Manchester United managed only 10 shots, with a poor quality that saw just one on target, making it unsurprising that they failed to score. Players like Hojlund, Zirkzee, and Amad Diallo were ineffective, and substitutes Garnacho and Antony made no impact either. Rashford spent the entire game on the bench. Chelsea also suffered an unexpected loss, which was hard to believe given that their opponent was Ipswich, ranked second-to-last. Chelsea's misfortune began early when they conceded a penalty, converted by Delap. Despite attempts by Palmer hitting the post and Nkunku missing an open goal, as well as Felix having a goal disallowed for offside, Chelsea remained goalless. Their misfortunes continued in the second half when Delap assisted Hutchinson for another goal, breaking the psychological defenses of the Chelsea players. No matter how Maresca changed the lineup, it had no effect,…

Yesterday's football world was once again filled with excitement, with several major events drawing attention. Both Manchester United and Chelsea suffered defeats, plunging the Premier League giants into trouble; former Russian international Bugayev died on the front lines, causing sighs; while Real Madrid's Mbappe was named Player of the Month, continuing to demonstrate his unparalleled influence. At the same time, Barcelona has once again failed to register, continuing to face financial and competitive dual crises. Below is a detailed analysis of the events. Manchester United suffered another defeat at the hands of Newcastle, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under immense pressure. Despite playing at Old Trafford, they were unable to break their recent slump. Newcastle's forward, Isaac, took advantage of a defensive error by United to score early in the game, followed by another goal from Joelinton. This loss further jeopardized United's position in the Premier League table. Although Marcus Rashford returned to the squad after four games, he did not get the chance to play. The two posts hit by Tonali and Maguire only highlighted their bad luck. Solskjaer's tactics have also been heavily criticized: Bruno Fernandes was forced to retreat, and Hylund still lacked support. The Red Devils, who once splashed passion at the Theater of Dreams, are now experiencing a low point. Fans can't help but ask if this Manchester United team can return to its peak? On the other side, Chelsea's mediocre performance is also worrying. When challenging newly promoted Ipswich away, the Blues once again exposed their shortcomings in both attack and defense. Drapp's penalty and…

On December 31st, Manchester United suffered a defeat, and Amorim found himself on the pillar of shame. In the early hours of today, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Newcastle, causing the 70,000 fans at Old Trafford to completely break down, while Amorim on the sidelines fell into despair. Before joining Manchester United, Amorim was synonymous with victory at Sporting Portugal. However, upon arriving at Manchester United, his magic seemed to disappear instantly. He appeared lost; when he first joined the team, he had a full smile, but now he is always seen with a worried expression, often holding his head in frustration. Amorim has been unable to lead the team out of its difficulties, both offensively and defensively. In his first 11 games coaching Manchester United, Amorim conceded a total of 20 goals, with a defense that was as flimsy as paper. In these 11 games, his record was dismal, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. Since Amorim took over Manchester United, only one team in the entire Premier League has lost more games than Manchester United (6 losses), which is Southampton (7 losses). It's not an exaggeration to say that Manchester United is now a super weak team that everyone can bully. According to statistics from the British media, Amorim's first 8 rounds of league matches at Manchester United resulted in 5 losses, the worst record among all Manchester United managers (tied with two others), the first such occurrence in 103 years! After joining Manchester United, Amorim insisted on using a three-center-back tactic, but this strategy did…
