For the current situation of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo conveyed a serious dissatisfaction in an interview with the media, the Portuguese superstar feels that all members of the club should aim for the top 3 of the league, rather than being satisfied with the 5th, 6th or even 7th places, in other words, the bottom line of the Red Devils is to be able to participate in the Champions League. According to the current development of the Premier League situation, C Ronaldo's wish may be difficult to achieve.
Due to the obvious advantages of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the league table, coupled with the strength of the team is very strong, basically able to lock in three top four places in advance, which means that Manchester United needs to compete with other teams for the remaining top four places, of which Tottenham and Arsenal will undoubtedly be the main competitors, it seems that Arsenal may be more threatening at present, and the Gunners have strong signs of recovery this season.
Arsenal's status in the Premier League has not been low, even in the last few years of Wenger's coaching is no longer a strong contender for the league title, but qualifying for the Champions League is still easy, so it has won the reputation of the four crazy devils, but unfortunately in recent years, Arsenal has become sluggish, not to mention the qualification for the Champions League, even participating in the Europa League has sometimes become a luxury, and the arrival of Arteta has given the Gunners hope.
After last season's dormancy, Arsenal have ushered in a strong recovery this season, currently only 2 points behind fourth-placed West Ham United under the premise of one game less, and more importantly, Arsenal's performance against strong teams is very good, which is very beneficial to the help of the competition for four. After beating West Ham 2-0 in the 17th round of the league and losing 1-2 to Manchester City in the 21st round of the league, Arsenal performed very well.
In the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals away from Liverpool, Xhaka left the game in the 24th minute, and even so, Arsenal, who played one less man, still stubbornly fought a 0-0 draw with the powerful Liverpool, and according to this momentum, the odds of Arteta leading the team to the League Cup final are very high. It is no exaggeration to say that Arsenal today is the best in recent seasons from strength to mental state, and the four-maniac has announced a strong return.
More importantly, Arteta is not satisfied with the current situation of the team, due to The blocking of Aubameyang, the possibility of leaving the team is very large, Arteta hopes to be able to get Fiorentina's star Vlahović in the winter window, if he can get this Serbian god forward, Arsenal's strength can undoubtedly be further improved, the probability of winning the top four of the league will be further increased, to know that Vlahović's performance is too strong.
Vlahović originally wanted to join a team that qualified for the Champions League, Arsenal could only be regarded as a spare tire at first, but Arteta's lead results are very dazzling, Arsenal is very likely to participate in next season's Champions League, coupled with the transfer fee and contract treatment provided are very generous, Serbian Shenfeng may finally decide to accept the invitation. Facing the aggressive Arsenal, Cristiano Ronaldo may feel very nervous, if Manchester United is not able to suppress Arsenal in the league, next season is likely to be able to participate in the Europa League, which is an absolute shame for the Portuguese superstar who is known as the king of the Champions League, let's wait and see.
