At 00:30 AM China time on November 4, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Chelsea at home. Media figure Ao Ming expressed his views on this match on social media.
Ao Ming wrote, “The most anticipated match in the 10th round of the Premier League, everyone wants to see if Manchester United has come back to life after Ten Hag’s dismissal. In the midweek League Cup, Van Nistelrooy led Manchester United to a 5-2 victory over Leicester City, but the Foxes fielded a second-string team, so this win doesn’t say much.”
“Chelsea strategically abandoned the League Cup, fielding a second-string team and losing 0-2 to Newcastle. Maresca is clearly determined to take on Manchester United! Tactically, Manchester United won’t change much overnight; it’s just that Van Nistelrooy places more emphasis on offense, and Manchester United’s shooting efficiency tends to drop significantly when facing strong teams. Defense is even more worrying, with positions constantly changing and no stable defensive line.”
“Van Nistelrooy hopes to secure consecutive wins before Amorim takes over, proving himself and hoping to stay on as an assistant coach at Manchester United, but this wish may not come true. Palmer didn’t play in the League Cup, and if he performs to his usual standard, Manchester United’s defense won’t be able to stop him. This match is another reality check for Manchester United’s management, confirming that Ten Hag left behind a mess, and ousting Ten Hag was the right decision. It will take a long time for Manchester United to recover under Amorim.”
