Manchester United eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at early phase and they have other title to fight really hard for. Manchester United have been struggling all through despite having what it takes to reach crucial position on the table, they're 100% heading to important phases this season. Manchester United succeeded in eliminating Liverpool in the quarter-final of the FA Cup this season. A joyful moment for the Red Devils, they didn't relent but in pursuit for outstanding performance. Erik Ten Hag did his best to grab significant points and he will definitely receive the require accolades for the winning.
FA Cup is where Manchester United can win title in this season but they have to focus on Premier League too. They need to complete this season in Premier League well to return to Champions League 2024 - 2025. They are a big club with good history, tradition and reputation, Champions League is where they belong to. Returning to Champions League will help them to feel they successfully return to top level and it will help their club finance too.
Everyone was expecting Liverpool to beat Manchester United at Anfield when they played their first match in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United. I think Manchester United knows how to play against Liverpool this season because they have played each other two times this season, and Liverpool has not had any wins in those two meetings.
Before those matches, Klopp said Liverpool can not win Manchester United with big results like a tennis match. He is an experienced coach and knows that such big wins are from collapse of their opponent in mentality. Without mentality collapse in a match, it's hard to beat a big competitor with a big result.
Like Germany won Brazil big at semi final in World Cup 2014, it is a big shock but really hard to repeat in any match between Germany and Brazil.
Manchester United returning to the Champions league won't happen this season. It is not enough being a big team and just rely on past glory. As a big team you need to be maintaining that standard by continually being innovation and adapting to the new challenge and demand from the league, if this is not done you will fade away. Manchester United were too reluctant in making drastic changes and they thought that their status as a big team will always make way for them and this thinking lead to their fall and decline. For them to get back to were they used to be, they need to make good decisions that will help the club. Other clubs are also coming up and they want to take over. When Alex Farguson was Manchester United coach, the success he brought to the club made them too relaxed. For Manchester United to be champions league regulars again, they have to work harder than the other clubs in the league.
