Beijing time, January 25: For Manchester United this season, the team's recent situation is very bad. Although they qualified as the first in the group in the Champions League, they met Atletico in the first round of the knockout round. The two teams are not in very good form at this stage, and if they really want to meet, Manchester United will not be so easy to pass. In addition to that, their performance in the league is also terrible.
Based on the current points situation, Manchester United are temporarily in 4th place. However, considering that arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur behind them are in the situation of minor matches, the Red Devils are not stable as a fourth. Not to mention that there are also teams such as Wolves West Ham United, who also covet the 4th position. The following season, the 4th place was contested by 5 or 6 teams. A little careless, United simply could not be sure of a Champions League spot. For a top giant like Manchester United, if there is no Champions League qualification, it is indeed a bit unreasonable. In addition, there are stars of Ronaldo's level in the team.
If Manchester United really plays in the Europa League next season, it will be laughed at by the outside world. Of course, Manchester United naturally has its own incentive policy. According to the British media Times Sports, Manchester United has made a decision before this, if the team does not qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, then all players will only be able to get 75% of the salary. The rest of the salary is a small punishment. I have to say, this is a good idea. In order to make the team have a good competitive state, the management also uses some off-field means to restrict. This may have a good effect.
For Manchester United, at this stage they still have to make sure to get as many points as possible before March arrives. After all, in March, the team needs to face teams such as Manchester City Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the league, which are not easy to deal with. Manchester City and Liverpool needless to say, two humiliating defeats this season have been won by them. Being beaten 5-0 by Liverpool at their home stadium and losing 0-2 against Manchester City have made Manchester United fans extremely unhappy.
After Replacing Manager Conte, Tottenham's overall combat effectiveness has improved, and Manchester United will not take too much advantage of them now. Meanwhile, in the Champions League in March, they will also face the second leg of the match against Atletico. To be a little more relaxed in this game, United need to win as much as possible in the first leg against Atletico in February. As a result, March will be relatively easy.
The four games in March were tough battles and there was no room for manchester United to lose. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United's number one star, C Ronaldo, still needs to play in the World Cup play-offs in March. With Portugal accidentally falling into the play-offs and being in the death group, the task of March was too heavy for Cristiano Ronaldo. They will face Turkey in the first round, which is not a good opponent.
Then in the second round, they will most likely meet the New York European Championship champions Italy, and for Cristiano Ronaldo, the March schedule is a hard battle. There is no easy game to play, I don't know if Manchester United and C Ronaldo can survive at that time, what do you think about this.
