He is not helping us at all, look at how he ghosted against Burnley. Pochettino needs to bench him if he truly wants to win Manchester United today, Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho identifies the single Chelsea player that needs to be traded this summer to make place for new faces
Paul Merson has made his predictions for Chelsea’s matchup with Manchester United in the Premier League and has cautioned Erik ten Hag that he will face “huge pressure” should he lose his next two games.
On Thursday night, Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea will welcome Man United, the fallen giants, at Stamford Bridge. A ten-man Burnley held Chelsea to a 2-2 tie, while United managed to escape Brentford with a 1-1 draw.
Both teams attempted to seem dishonest prior to the international break and had disappointing returns to domestic play.
Chelsea has struggled in Pochettino’s first season at Stamford Bridge, falling into the bottom half of the Premier League table with 10 games left.
Under Todd Boehly, Chelsea has spent almost £1 billion on new acquisitions. The west Londoners are, in fact, closer to the relegation zone than Liverpool, the league leaders.
Even if Manchester United is currently five spots and eight points ahead of Chelsea, they will still be upset with their season and the fact that they were eliminated from the Champions League during the group stage.
Ten Hag’s team will have to work hard to go to the Champions League the next year as they pursue Tottenham and Aston Villa, who are now nine and eleven points ahead of them, respectively.
