Por que apostar no Manchester City?

Manchester City finds itself in a strange position. Despite investing in the transfer market, Pep Guardiola’s team doesn’t seem to have the same security in their play as in previous years, which could leave them a step below Liverpool and Arsenal.

The ‘Citizens’ are coming off their second consecutive setback, falling 2-1 away to Brighton. Erling Haaland’s goal wasn’t enough to secure any points. Before that, they had already lost 0-2 at home to Tottenham, raising alarm bells at the Manchester club.

The challenge for Guardiola is significant, as he is coming off a very poor campaign, finishing 13 points behind Liverpool and exiting the Champions League early.

Adding to this sense of insecurity is the team’s long list of injuries, which includes Rayan Cherki, Marcus Bettinelli, Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic, Nico O’Reilly, Kalvin Phillips, Savinho, and Omar Marmoush.

Of these, Savinho, Foden, and Gvardiol are the most likely to recover in time. Still, it’s a worrying situation.

Por que apostar no Manchester United?

Manchester United is under pressure to improve its level; otherwise, it risks having a season similar to the last one, when it finished close to the relegation zone.

Coach Rúben Amorim has admitted that the situation has become so complicated that he has even considered resigning, but at least in the last match, he tasted the sweetness of victory.

The ‘Red Devils’ defeated Burnley 3-2 thanks to a last-minute penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes, their standout player.

United has only managed to secure three points out of a possible nine in the Liga Premiada and has already been eliminated from the League Cup by a fourth-division team. Additionally, the club will not participate in European competition this year.

Despite these setbacks, the club has made significant investments in the transfer market, bringing in Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Lammens will be expected to fill the gap that Onana has struggled with.

Lisandro Martínez will not be available, while Mason Mount, Diogo Dalot, and Cunha are doubtful.

Despite their poor form, Manchester United is unbeaten in its last three league derbies.
