I don't expect a good performance from Manchester United again. They are not good enough for the champions league. I want Newcastle to surprise. Because I don't want the same teams to succeed in the champions league all the time. I want new teams like Newcastle to show themselves in the champions league and achieve success.
What the reason Manchester United not good enough for the Champions League? aren't they shown not too bad performance in the Premier League, so they can get UCL tickets for the new season. Don't forget that currently Manchester United have Ten Hag, there is a possibility this man can make a surprise in the Champions league this new season. Although the competition in the Champions League will be very tight, but I'm sure they will do good effort for the Champion League.
Yes, they can get to the champions league because they can be in the top 4 when the domestic league ends, but is there anything special that they show? I didn't see that last season, they were quite helpful because of Liverpool's unstable performance, and moreover, Chelsea was so bad that it opened up opportunities for several teams to take over the competition in the champions league zone.
Manchester United haven't impressed in the champions league for a long time, can't remember exactly how they achieved it after being the last champions in the 2007-2008 season and then managing to be runners-up twice and never saw Manchester United as a team to be reckoned with, so it's only natural that in this new season later they are also still in doubt especially if they will get a tough draw because they certainly won't be the favorite team in the draw later.
