Problems at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjer left after a series of bad results at the start of the season. Ralf Rangnik did not bring anything new to Manchester United. It is clear that the German is only a temporary solution until the summer, when Mauricio Pochettino could sit on the hot bench of the team from the Theater of Dreams.Star signings – Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Rafael Varane – did not make United stronger than last year. The Portuguese has scored 14 goals in all competitions however he failed to find the back of the net in last five matches – that is, since 2022 started. While Middlesbrough was a slap on the face of Manchester in the FA Cup, Premier League fourth place and the Champions League are achievable since their rivals for that place – Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham – are not doing that great either.’Sir Alex left as soon as he realized the club was in decline’The playful Southampton, which won last week away against Tottenham (3-2), arrive at Old Trafford today (15.30). The goal of the Saints is survival every year, and they have already reached it. European football seems far-fetched, but if they continue like this, that is not unattainable either.Rangnik was defeated in just one game out of nine in the Premier League, but the way the team is playing is no better than when Solskjer was at the helm. In the previous days, the focus was on the quarrel with Jesse Lingard, before that with Anthony Martial. The German can count on Alex Telles, who recovered from the corona virus. Brazilian Fred is still out due to illness.Defender Eric Bailly is injured, as is Nemanja Matic. Scott McTominey suffered a strong blow in the match with Burnley on Tuesday, but the management hopes that he will be able to play today. The Saints are coming to the Theater of Dreams without Nathan Redmond, who has an ankle injury. Tino Livramento is expected to return to the pitch after a knee problem.And so it starts: Players wants Poch, Ragnick prefers Ten Hag as the new coachSouthampton have won just two of their 22 Premier League games against United – the Saints are still hearing the echoes of the last year humiliating 9-0 defeat to Man United. In the first part of the ongoing campaign, the result was 1-1 at St. Mary’s. The host took the lead with an own goal by Fred, and Mason Greenwood equalized, who is out of action due to rape and violence accusations, and the question is whether we will see him in a red shirt ever again.City confidently hold the first place, Liverpool are their only competitor for the crown. Citizens are visiting the awakened Norwich today (20.30). Dean Smith shook the Canaries, who have won seven points in the previous three rounds, and now they are only one point behind Newcastle, the last team that is in a place that means survival in the elite.Leicester City winger Ademola Lookman switches allegiance to NigeriaLast year’s best team of the Championship will be able to count on Josh Sargent, the American who missed the last two games due to illness. Lucas Rupp, Ozan Kabak, Jacob Sorensen and Tim Krul are out injured. Pep Guardiola cannot count only on the Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus.Today at 18.00, Everton with Frank Lampard welcome Leeds. The Toffees have problems with their defense – Yeri Mina, Ben Godfrey and Vitalii Mykolenko are not competing for the team. Striker Demaray Gray has injured his hip, but Dominic Calvert Lewin could return to the starting lineup.Your Saturday looks like this ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/HU1O5XullQ— Premier League (@premierleague) February 12, 2022 Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa will be deprived of the services of the English national team player Calvin Phillips for another month.
