The fact that Manchester United finished the season so poorly is also Amorim's fault, because he prioritized only the Europa League games, and he openly ignored the rest of the games. In the new season, I only hope that the team's attitude to the Premier League will be more responsible, but they do not have another more important tournament, so they will try as best they can. Pre-season games are not an indicator, because their opponents may not play at full strength, may make a lot of substitutions and so on.
Manchester United is planning to comeback strong next season, they have signed good players in their squad that will help the team in all competitions, and for the fact that they are only playing in the Premier League next season plus other domestic cups, they don’t have much distraction and will lead to a very good season for Amorim. No any excuse for the coach since the management have signed good players for the team even though they didn’t work on their defense, but their attacking line is now well built.
It seems the Gunners are ending their friendly games with a disappointing performance after losing to Villarreal 2-3, it seems things are not going their way, not like they planned at all. After the game I'm having this feeling that maybe today or tomorrow the critics will be much because what many are expecting of Viktor Gyökeres is not what they're seeing from the player, a disappointing display from him in the first half;
Viktor Gyökeres in the first half vs Villarreal: 🇸🇪
▪️0 goals
▪️0 assists
▪️0 shots on target
▪️0 shots off target
▪️0 key passes
▪️1/1 dribble attempt
▪️3 passes
▪️2/3 ground duels won
For me I feel is not yet time to see what this guy is made of and it will only be rival fans who are going hard on him (Viktor Gyökeres), let the new season come and let's see if he's worth it or not but for now let the man breath.
It is actually not yet time for the criticism that’s why even the opposition fans are calm about that, but he actually needs to prove himself in the Premier League.
Arsenal’s preseason tour this season is not that impressive, they don’t win enough matches and even the matches they won were narrowly won; what’s actually wrong with the players?
I think Arteta needs to put more effort because Arsenal’s opening match for the 2025/26 premier league season will be against Manchester United, therefore, they need to be well prepared.
