On January 17th, Beijing time, Manchester United made a comeback victory against Southampton in the Premier League. In the first half, Ugarte scored an own goal during a corner kick defense, leaving Manchester United trailing 0-1. However, Amad Diallo came to the rescue, scoring a hat-trick and helping the Red Devils secure a 3-1 win. While Solskjaer's signing of Diallo has brought joy to the fans, Ten Hag's introduction of the Danish striker has left them frustrated. In 8 games, Diallo has scored 0 goals and provided 0 assists, revealing his true form. Ten Hag seems to have made a mistake, with a £73.9 million investment going down the drain. In early 2021, Manchester United signed Diallo from Atalanta for a transfer fee of 21.3 million euros. This season, with more opportunities, Diallo has exploded, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists by the halfway point of the season. He has performed exceptionally well against strong teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, becoming the first player to complete a hat-trick for Manchester United since Cristiano Ronaldo. Similarly, both Diallo and Hojlund transferred from Atalanta to Manchester United, but while Diallo has shown incredible talent, Hojlund has increasingly disappointed United fans. In the match against Southampton, Hojlund completed only 2 key passes, had 1 shot on goal, successfully contested 2 out of 10 duels, touched the ball 17 times but lost possession 6 times, and was substituted by Zirkzee just 8 minutes into the second half. After Hojlund's substitution, Manchester United turned the game around. Hojlund is quite active…

Tactical Deployment Proves Effective: How Ipswich Capitalized Recently, the match between Manchester United and Ipswich ended in a 1-1 draw, exposing several tactical issues within the Manchester United squad. Under the meticulous guidance of McKenna, Ipswich skillfully exploited United's weaknesses, making it difficult for the Premier League giants to progress. McKenna, a seasoned coach who spent years at United, has a deep understanding of the club. He aimed to target United's weaknesses tactically, achieving significant results. Before the game, McKenna and his team thoroughly analyzed recent match footage of United, ultimately deciding on two strategies: high pressing and wing attacks. In practice, Ipswich players quickly closed down United's ball carriers, not giving them space. This relentless approach paid off, as Ipswich capitalized on United's left flank vulnerabilities. The trio of Eriksen, Dalot, and Garnacho struggled with coordination, providing numerous opportunities for the opposition. Ipswich launched 18 attacks from United's left side, with five directly threatening their goal, causing concern among fans and the coaching staff. United's left defensive line became an open corridor for Ipswich's attacks. Eriksen and Dalot's defensive coordination was lacking, failing to effectively block the opposition's advances. Despite Garnacho's contributions in attack, he did not provide enough support defensively, exacerbating the crisis on the left flank. Tactical Dilemma in the Front: Lack of Support and Coordination Defensive issues were not the only problem; United's front-line performance also appeared weak. Rashford, the center-forward, possesses speed and technique but lacks in physicality. His frequent runs could stretch the opposition defense, yet he struggled to deliver the decisive blow alone,…

Manchester United's Diawara completed a hat-trick in just 12 minutes, leaving fans who left early feeling disappointed! Manchester United faced Southampton at home, with the bottom-placed Saints giving United enough of a threat from the start, but only managing to score an own goal created by Uga. Fans criticized Menu, Hojlund, and Jolo, and if not for Onana's heroic performance, United would have been overwhelmed in the first half. In the second half, substitute Anthony missed the best chance to score! Other players' shots were also saved by Ramsdale. Some fans left the stadium cursing. They couldn't see any hope for United. Some even began to doubt that the problem with United wasn't with Ten Hag. It's always in despair that one bursts forth. Diawara broke through on the flank, turning a dead horse into a live one! In the 82nd minute, Diawara suddenly accelerated and bravely entered the fray, taking advantage of the confusion in Southampton's backline to score! This goal was thanks to Zirkzee's quick pass, as Southampton's defense quickly retreated but failed to cover all angles on Diawara's side! After feinting, Diawara chose to shoot himself, catching Southampton off guard and equalizing the score. Diawara continued to accelerate, and he and Eriksen actually completed a wall-pass combination. After passing to Eriksen, Diawara quickly darted forward to seize the space and drop point. Eriksen played a direct overhead pass behind him to Diawara, and United managed a crazy high-speed combination in the final moments, completely stunning Southampton. Diawara scored his second goal, achieving the "flow" style of play.…

In January's winter transfer window, Manchester United has yet to make any signings or clearances. However, the first player set to leave United during the winter window is becoming increasingly clear: compared to Rashford, Casemiro, and Garnacho, it is Anthony who is closest to departing. On January 17th, multiple media outlets including Spain's Marca and Britain's Daily Mail reported that Manchester United and Betis are accelerating the loan deal for Anthony. The 24-year-old Anthony is considered one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history. In the summer of 2022, United spent a hefty sum of 95 million euros fixed plus 5 million euros variable to bring Anthony from Ajax. Over the course of two and a half years at United, Anthony has never proven his worth. In the 2024-25 season, Anthony made only 13 appearances for United, scoring just 1 goal, with no goals in 7 Premier League matches. Under Amorim, Anthony has had no opportunities. Leaving United to find playing time is the best choice for Anthony. Marca revealed that La Liga's Betis is pushing for the loan deal for Anthony. Last December, Betis contacted United to discuss the loan of Anthony, and by the end of December, Betis had submitted an offer, hoping to secure Anthony on loan during the winter window. United is willing to loan out Anthony but hopes that Betis will increase the loan fee and take on more of the salary. Spanish media reported that Betis is preparing to submit a second offer in hopes of quickly completing the loan deal for Anthony.…

If we were to say that the most outstanding player in Manchester United's attack this season, it would be none other than Amad Diallo, who successfully renewed his contract with the club for a period of 5 and a half years on the 10th. At 4 am Beijing time on January 17th, in the 21st round of the Premier League in the 24-25 season, Manchester United hosted Southampton at home. Amad staged a 12-minute hat-trick in the closing stages, helping the team turn the game around from 0-1 to 3-1, becoming the first since Cristiano Ronaldo. It is hard to imagine that this young key player from Côte d'Ivoire was ranked lower than Anthony under Ten Hag! In this match at Old Trafford, Manchester United did not show the fiery form they should have had at home after the opening. Especially between the 20th and 30th minutes, there were significant problems with Manchester United's midfield control, with a possession rate of only 30%. The popular English talent Dibrin and Ghanaian winger Sulimana did indeed pose a considerable threat to Manchester United's defense, although both were able to approach the opponent's goal on their own, they were not particularly adept at scoring, hence Southampton missed several scoring opportunities in succession. In the 43rd minute of the game, Southampton gained a corner kick opportunity on the left side, Dibrin's header brushed the ball, which then hit Ugart and rebounded into the net, an own goal! Manchester United trailed 0-1 at home! Who could have thought that Manchester United would not have the…

In this round of the highly anticipated Premier League, Manchester United is set to face Southampton at the iconic Old Trafford stadium, where they will play with high morale and determination. Recently, the team has achieved a commendable record of 1 win and 1 draw in the competitive league and thrilling cup matches. In the league, they managed to secure a crucial point against strong opponents through tenacious defense and sharp counterattacks; while in the cup, the players' precise coordination and decisive offense earned them a valuable victory. These two games have undoubtedly proven that the team's form is on the rise. Before the match, head coach Amorim attended a press conference. In front of numerous media flashlights and microphones, he shared his unique and profound insights on the upcoming exciting game and the team's current situation. He meticulously analyzed the recent tactical characteristics and player conditions of the opponent, Southampton, and also candidly discussed the advantages and areas for improvement within the Manchester United squad. He emphasized that after experiencing ups and downs recently, the team is currently in a critical adjustment period, with every player striving their utmost to achieve better results in the coming games. Amorim first focused on the immense pressure the team is facing. He seriously stated, "At a prestigious club like Manchester United, if you didn't win the league title the previous year, then you must claim it the next." Amorim deeply believes that the team urgently needs to reshape and establish a strong sense of pressure to win titles, as this has been…

On January 17th, Beijing time, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Southampton at Old Trafford. Despite an own goal by Ugarte in the first half, Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback in the dying moments of the game, securing a 3-1 victory thanks to a hat-trick by young attacker Diawara. This performance also highlights Real Madrid's foresight. Real Madrid's Sharp Vision! President Florentino Decisively Lets Him Go: 32-Year-Old Discard Sinks, Value Drops from 80 Million to 12 Million. The 22-year-old Diawara has become a key player for Manchester United. This season, he has played 30 games for the Red Devils, starting 19 times, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists, making him the team's top scorer and second in assists, with captain Bruno Fernandes contributing 11 assists. No player can stay young forever, but there will always be young players. The talented young player from Ivory Coast, Diawara, represents both the present and future of Manchester United. While Diawara is in his prime, the 10 years older Casemiro has become a marginal player at Manchester United, unable to secure playing time. In the match against Southampton, Casemiro missed out on his third consecutive appearance, while the 21-year-old midfielder Collier made his second consecutive substitute appearance. Since Amorim took over as manager of Manchester United, Casemiro has only played in 6 out of 14 matches, starting 4 times. Amorim is reluctant to use Casemiro, and the Brazilian midfielder is now available for sale. In the summer of 2022, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of 70.7…

I'm back, I'm back, Ten Hag! Since being sacked by Manchester United, he hasn't stopped. He has appeared many times to watch games in the Eredivisie and is not a regular at the Westfalenstadion in the Bundesliga. However, Ten Hag has a good relationship with Dortmund's advisor Sammer. Running from the Netherlands to Germany to watch the Yellow Bee's game, it feels like there's something going on. However, last Friday, he came to enjoy Dortmund's home defeat to Leverkusen. Is this to prepare for taking over the team? This possibility is indeed very high. In the 17th round of the Bundesliga, after Dortmund lost 2-4 away to Holstein Kiel (second to last in the Bundesliga points table), according to the latest reports from German Sky Sports and Spanish "Marca", the current Dortmund coach Sahin is very likely to be sacked, and his successor is none other than former Manchester United manager Ten Hag. Isn't that exciting? He was fired by the Red Devils just last October, but only two months later, another big club invited him to coach. It's surprising, isn't it? Could it be that his sacking by Manchester United was an "ancient injustice"? To be fair, the current Manchester United is not a team that a coach can put back on track. They shout about revival every day, and change coaches like watching lanterns. Now they've changed owners, and there are many "uncertain factors" within the club. Although Ten Hag had conflicts with many players during his time at Manchester United and spent a lot of the club's…

After leaving Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remained unemployed for a long time, with some speculating that he might retire from coaching altogether. However, the 51-year-old has now returned to the field. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Solskjaer has agreed to coach the Turkish Super League giants Besiktas. During his playing career, Solskjaer only played for two teams: Norway's Molde club and the English Premier League's Manchester United. He spent a total of 11 years at Manchester United. In 2007, Solskjaer retired from Manchester United and subsequently began his coaching career. In December 2018, following Jose Mourinho's departure, Solskjaer became the interim manager of Manchester United. Due to his remarkable achievements, he was soon appointed as the permanent manager. In November 2021, Solskjaer was relieved of his duties, concluding nearly three years as the head coach of Manchester United. After leaving Manchester United, Solskjaer seemed to have lost interest in coaching, rejecting offers from multiple clubs. In interviews, he stated that he is not short of money and would not compromise himself for financial reasons. There were reports that Solskjaer only wanted to coach Manchester United and the Norwegian national team, disregarding other teams. Now, Solskjaer has changed his mind. Under the persistent invitation of Besiktas, Solskjaer has terminated his contract. Romano reported that Solskjaer will travel to Turkey today to sign a contract with Besiktas, with the agreement set to last until June 2026. This season, Besiktas' performance has been less than ideal, currently ranking sixth in the Turkish Super League, trailing the top by a significant 20…

After Manchester United's thrilling 3-1 victory over Southampton, renowned sports commentator Huang Jianxiang provided a series of incisive and thought-provoking comments that struck at the heart of the match. Substitutions Prove Decisive, Turning Point in the Game Huang Jianxiang pointed out that the substitutions made during the game played a decisive role. When Menu was replaced by Collier, the team's defensive quality instantly improved. The frequent gaps in the backline were effectively filled, and Collier, with his excellent defensive awareness and decisive tackles, successfully defused multiple threatening attacks from Southampton. After Hojlund was substituted off and Zirkzee came on, Manchester United's transition offense became exceptionally smooth. Zirkzee, with his speed and strength, could quickly advance in counterattacks, creating more highly threatening offensive opportunities for the team, leaving the opponent's defense scrambling. Key Players Shine, Helping Team Overcome Deficit to Win Discussing key players in the game, Huang Jianxiang praised several players for their outstanding performances. He believed that the substitutions were a stroke of genius, especially Zirkzee, who greatly enriched Manchester United's attacking options upon entering the field, becoming a key factor in the team's comeback. Additionally, Cole's organizing role in midfield was crucial; his precise passing and excellent overall vision made Manchester United's attacking rhythm more orderly. Eriksen's clever passes created numerous excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates, with his imagination and precision causing significant trouble for the opponent's defense, becoming the core engine of the team's attack. Tactical Issues Highlighted, Back Three System Questioned Analyzing the game from an overall tactical perspective, Huang Jianxiang mercilessly pointed out that…
