I actually think that transfer windows should shut before the season starts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n It\u2019s already tough to close deals and it brings a lot of power to the player and agents to make certain demands. While it does give opportunities for players to try and get themselves a better agreement or improved contracts \u2013 which I'm not criticising – it certainly doesn't help Manchester United right now.<\/p>\n\n
\n In terms of names, it's hard to speculate. I don't know what the club are going to do, but things need to improve.<\/p>\n\n
Manchester United\u2019s Upcoming Matches.<\/h2>\n \n\n\n 13. Will it be panic stations if United lose to Brentford ahead of their horror run of games?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n It won't help, that's for sure.<\/p>\n\n
\n To be honest, Manchester United should be winning these sorts of games. They should have been looking at 6 points, which obviously isn't going to be the case.<\/p>\n\n
\n It's more about the energy levels, how many chances you create, and how much pressure you put on the opposition. All of this builds a strong foundation, and then hopefully the result will come.<\/p>\n\n
\n You can say that they\u2019re still finding their way in the first few games, but it shouldn't be an excuse – Manchester United should be winning these sorts of matches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n They need to take control of the game whoever they're up against; Brighton coming to Old Trafford and dictating the pace of the game is just something that shouldn\u2019t happen. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n\n
\n 14. Do you think Erik ten Hag could have the same fate as Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r, Jose Mourinho, and David Moyes, with the fans eventually turning on the manager after poor results?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n I don't think so. I don't think it'll happen for the simple fact that it's a long-term plan.<\/p>\n\n
\n Secondly, I think his style suits Manchester United – maybe some performances and individual performances challenge that style at times. But the quality in this squad will win games, that's for sure. It's just a matter of how many and how close you are from the top.<\/p>\n\n
\n It's a good foundation in terms of his charisma on the touchline; you could see that he was composed, but also not happy with what he was seeing.<\/p>\n\n
\n I obviously don't know what happened in the dressing room or what he said, but he looks like a strong character.<\/p>\n\n
\n From time to time, it will help him in terms of who is brought into the club.<\/p>\n\n
\n Whether he has a role to play is still to be seen, but it wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to seek advice from Sir Alex Ferguson or Steve McClaren, for example. I have no doubt the club is giving all the power to Erik Ten Hag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n This is because they\u2019re following a long-term plan. I don't think it'll be affected by the fans being unhappy or the press trying to build up pressure.<\/p>\n\n
\n Everything needs to kick on at the club – there can be absolutely no excuses from anyone. Players coming in will obviously help, but I believe this squad has what it takes.<\/p>\n\n
Season Predictions for Tottenham Hotspurs<\/h2>\n \n\n\n 15. It was an emphatic win from Tottenham against Southampton. What can they achieve this season?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Tottenham can achieve anything, but the Premier League is a very big challenge when you have two monsters to get past at the moment.<\/p>\n\n
\n You can see the foundation that Conte has built<\/strong> and the power the team have in games. The younger players have a lot of legs, so ultimately it's down to the stamina and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n As has been highlighted over the years, Tottenham always seem to have those 5 to 10 games where they aren't playing the way they should.<\/p>\n\n
\n Let's say that equals about 15 points they're short of because of those games \u2013 this is where they need to improve.<\/p>\n\n
\n It\u2019ll be difficult, of course, in the Premier League, but there's no reason they can't produce in a cup competition this season.<\/p>\n\n
\n If they won a cup and finished in third place, then I think that would show a lot of improvement and result in a good season overall, demonstrating that they are a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n\n
\n In some ways they are getting closer and closer to having that arrogance and belief that they can beat anybody<\/strong>, win the Premier League, and qualify for the Champions League every season.<\/p>\n\n\n They\u2019re a good, well-respected team, but this is the moment where they can potentially go to the next level.<\/p>\n\n
\n 16. Will it be considered a disappointment if Spurs fail to win a trophy?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n The cup competitions are more than achievable because the more you see this team, the more power they add and the calibre of player they bring in is high.<\/p>\n\n
\n You can tell that they want to hurt the opposition and that they can beat anyone in their way.<\/p>\n\n
\n I remember I used to feel really strong from just playing for Manchester United, and you use that energy in your performance.<\/p>\n\n
\n It's not necessarily the case with Tottenham, but I think they are very close to achieving something because they\u2019re a very good team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n I wish them all the best; it'll be tough to maintain the quality throughout the season. Yes, the first game was great, but everybody can have a good result. The most successful teams manage to keep that momentum going throughout the season, though, which can be very hard to uphold.<\/p>\n\n
Manchester City vs Liverpool Title Race<\/h2>\n \n\n\n 17. Do you think it will be Liverpool and Man City challenging for the title this season, or could you see other teams up there too?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n I would be surprised if anyone comes close to those two. As we've seen, anything can happen. Chelsea<\/strong> are still a very strong side. Arsenal<\/strong> have done a lot of business in the transfer market, and Spurs<\/strong> look strong.<\/p>\n\n\n It's very early to give any definite answers, but we will see by December how things start to take shape.<\/p>\n\n
\n However, at this moment, if anyone can say another team will compete for definite, then I would say it's a lie.<\/p>\n\n
\n I think it's guaranteed Liverpool and Manchester City will be at the top<\/strong>, and like I said, I would be surprised if anyone challenged. You never know what could happen, but I have my doubts.<\/p>\n\nInitial Thoughts on Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez<\/h2>\n \n\n \n As a striker I'm very excited, because he's a terrific player and he's a young guy.<\/p>\n\n
\n He's got a lot of morals and he's very honest and passionate about his football. He always has a smile on his face and that's what I like to see in the Premier League. It doesn't matter who you are, you should love the sport at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n
\n I can see straight away that he is someone who could even score 30 or more goals<\/strong> because of all the support he has behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n It's going to be a piece of cake for him, and it\u2019s an easy gamble for Manchester City to bring him in.<\/p>\n\n
\n He still has the ability to improve, which is unbelievable to think about. Here I\u2019m referring to his link play and the way he can help other players to score goals.<\/p>\n\n
\n 19. Darwin Nunez scored on his opening game against Fulham. How do you think he'll improve Liverpool's attack this season and fill the shoes left by Sadio Mane?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n I don't think he'll do that, and I think people underestimate what Sadio Mane has brought to Liverpool. I\u2019m almost shocked, because for me he was the best player for the past two or three years.<\/p>\n\n
\n Whoever was to come in, I don't think Liverpool totally understand what they will be missing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Darwin Nunez is a good player, and he has a lot of talent, but Sadio Mane is a special player and I mean that.<\/p>\n\n
\n It's no disrespect to Darwin Nunez because I think you could have brought anyone in, to replace Mane and they would have struggled to replace him.<\/p>\n\n
\n Sadio Mane is up there with some of the best players, and I don't think he has been recognised enough in some ways.<\/p>\n\n
\n I don't think there was ever any competition between Sadio Mane and Mo Salah because they were teammates. But from watching Liverpool quite a lot, I always felt Mane was the better player, especially in those bad games where they aren't playing quite as well.<\/p>\n\n
\n He was always the guy who would step up, so I really doubt he'll be replaced that quickly.<\/p>\n\n
\n It's not the same style, firstly, so Darwin Nunez won't be that player who can defend and commit as much as those wingers do. They're different types of players, but I think Mane deserved a lot more credit than he got sometimes<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ThePuntersPage sat down with ex-Manchester United forward Louis Saha to discuss the Red Devil\u2019s first ever home defeat to Brighton and what this could mean for the players and their new coach.
