Marcus Rashford, aged 27, has recently been excluded from the matchday squad four times in a row by his coach Amorim. Although he was recalled to the bench during Manchester United's 0-2 loss to Newcastle, he did not get the chance to play. It now seems inevitable that he will leave the club. Last month, Rashford stated in an interview that he is "ready for a new challenge," and the senior management at Manchester United also believes that parting ways would be the best solution for both parties. Currently, Rashford earns a weekly wage of £325,000 at Manchester United, which is a significant obstacle for potential buyers. In response, Manchester United has taken a step back and is willing to accept loan offers. However, due to their requirement that the other party must pay a loan fee plus cover most of Rashford's salary, it remains difficult to attract most European teams. While Rashford has not yet received any offers from top European clubs, there has been a steady stream of interested Saudi Arabian teams, as well as Turkish clubs expressing interest. According to Samuel Luckhurst, editor-in-chief of the Manchester Evening News, Rashford has rejected lucrative contracts worth £35 million per year from three Saudi League clubs and ruled out the possibility of joining a Turkish club. Rashford prioritizes his personal career, aiming to return to peak form before the 2026 World Cup. In previous interviews, Rashford spoke about the World Cup, saying, "It was an incredible experience. If I have the opportunity to participate again, I will give it my…

During the first half of the game, at the 33rd minute, Zirkzee was substituted and rushed straight to the locker room. He later returned to the bench wearing a coat. Eager to showcase his skills in front of the home fans, he unexpectedly ended up retreating in disarray, with his frustration clearly visible on his face. Players who perform poorly can seek solace on the bench, but Amorim had to remain on the sidelines, enduring the scorching gaze of angry fans as the price for his tactical blunder. In the first 20 minutes of the match, Newcastle entered the penalty area 10 times, scoring 2 goals from 5 shots, while Manchester United never penetrated their opponent's penalty area during this period, appearing very passive on the field. Through strong confrontations to gain possession, they patiently organized outside the Red Devils' defense, with hardly any hindrance in continuous lateral passes, completing crosses in front of the helpless red-clad wing-backs, ultimately sounding an air raid alarm over Lisandro Martinez... The two goals scored by Newcastle followed the same process, with Eddie Howe's offensive tactics perfectly exploiting Manchester United's weaknesses, and Amorim's rotation decisions fell right into their hands. Since the big win against Everton, Manchester United has been plagued by misfortune in multiple consecutive matches. In the Manchester derby, there were incidents of key players leaving early and own-goal assists, and when visiting Molineux, they received a red card for "helping teammates win." Vitor Pereira sincerely thanked the Red Devils for their "gift" in the post-match interview last round, expressing pity for…

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…

Newcastle United's forward Alexander Isak has been in scintillating form, scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists in the last 5 Premier League matches, contributing a total of 11 goals and 4 assists this season. Isak has already scored 24 goals in the 2024 Premier League season, second only to Alan Shearer's record of 27 goals in a calendar year for Newcastle (Shearer scored 27 in 2002). On December 31st, Newcastle will face Manchester United away in the 19th round of the Premier League, and Isak has a great chance to continue chasing Shearer's record. Today, let's talk about this rising star. Isak started his career at Sweden's AIK Solna before moving on to Willem II and Borussia Dortmund. In 2019, Isak transferred to Real Sociedad from Dortmund for a fee of 15 million euros. This transfer did not receive much attention at the time, but it paved the way for Isak's future development. His performance in La Liga has become increasingly stable, showcasing his remarkable scoring ability and maturity. In the summer window of 2022, Newcastle signed Isak for 75 million euros, setting a new record for the highest transfer fee in the club's history. Since joining Newcastle, Isak has played 86 games in all competitions, scoring 47 goals and providing 9 assists, becoming the team's most relied upon weapon in attack. Such explosive performances have also made Isak one of the most sought-after young stars in European football, with teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain showing interest. However, Newcastle currently has no intention of letting Isak leave,…
