Manchester United is in disarray when Erik ten Hag takes on the most challenging job of his career
As new manager Ten Hag participated in his first training session with United before making a summer signing, the United players reported for pre-season training on Monday.
Old Trafford expects Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at the club and says he is not up for sale. This is despite the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League and lack of incomings.
After participating in The Big Golf Race to raise awareness about prostate cancer, Merson told the News that even if Ten Hag managed for the rest of his life, it wouldn’t be as challenging as what he’s now.
It will take a lot of work to accomplish this. He takes over when the club is in disarray because it is the biggest club in the world.
You will not reach the top four with this team, so he must bring in as many players as possible. I think certain players must be brought in — for instance (Frenkie) De Jong at Barcelona, he’s a talented footballer — and then the process can move forward. For the fourth place to be contested, at least three or four players are needed.
Arsenal has a fantastic season ahead of them
Former Arsenal forward Merson thinks Arsenal can be challenging for silverware this year with the signings of Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus.
Merson, a big fan of Jesus, says, “I like Him.” He plays him in many big matches – Pep Guardiola trusts him. He is a center forward who likes to score goals.
People say he misses chances, but there’s nothing wrong with missing opportunities. It’s just a matter of being willing to get back in the box repeatedly, and he is one of these players.
“I am impressed with Arsenal’s efforts to win the game. I anticipate a successful season for them. Currently, there is a project going on at the club, and they will compete with Manchester United and Tottenham for fourth place. However, the squad they’re building gives them a chance for silverware this season if they can make it to the Champions League and win the Europa League.
It’s better if they get into the top four soon rather than later.” The work Edu and Mikel Arteta are doing is great.

Merson, however, believes that another London club is heading in the opposite direction. In the wake of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake takeover, Chelsea announced the departure of technical advisor Petr Cech on Monday, the third Chelsea figure to drop out of The Bridge this summer after chairman Bruce Buck, Deputy Chairman Marina Granovskaia, and transfer chief Bruce Buck.
