I don't think the players are the problem, to be honest. I really think if the authority of the Manchester United club is changed, the same squad is going to do a lot better. The owners do not care about the performance of the club. The coach only cares about the player he likes. And the fans somehow still believe that the club is going to perform well. This is pure delusion. I believe some players need to be changed. But at the same time, the whole authority needs to be changed as well. Otherwise, it is not going to help a lot. And I am pretty sure that the same players are going to perform better with a decent coach. I don't know what they are thinking of achieving with Ten Hag even though they can clearly see that he is not bringing in good results.
This is one thing with football, we are quick to conclude that couch is the problem forgetting that there was a time we do praise them and say they are fit for the job but we change our view immediately when things get otherwise. That's actually how it is supposed to be. It's very obvious when couch is losing the fight and management ought to do something to rescue the club from sinking. The players have a way of passing their message when they are not longer comfortable with the couch in charge. Take a look at Chelsea for example during the era of Graham potter, how players were playing without passion and everything changed when a new couch was hired. It is disheartening how Manchester united management has turn blind eyes to players body language. I believe Ten Hang would have been long forgotten if someone like Abrahamovic is the owner of the club.
Things like this are very common in football and considering that both of them are at the same level, I don't think Arsenal's mentality will waver in the slightest. It's just that Arsenal's winning record at home to Manchester City is not as great as expected and they always experience difficulties when they are the visiting team. But it's still a big game and Arsenal will have to give everything to beat one of their rivals.
Arsenal problem is lack of composure when playing with big clubs such as Man city. Arsenal is doing well quite alright but due to their inability to maintain calmness in big matches, I would favor Manchester city ahead of them. It's a clash of boss and his boy and we will see who triumph. The first leg performance can not be used as the basis of judgment because the league is now more tense than ever. Perhaps, Liverpool might be favored if they play draw.
