How will Man United start with Ruben Amorim?
Ruben Amorim will be under close scrutiny in his second season in charge of Man United. He has a full summer to prepare for the force and build a playing style, so the expectation will be very high.
The Portuguese tactician has picked up just 27 points from 27 Premier League games in the 2024-25 season, his worst average in the club's history. Amorim's winning rate in all competitions is 38.1%, the lowest among Man United's official managers since Frank O'Farrell led the team from 1971 to 1972,
In the first match of the 2025-2026 season, Man United will meet Arsenal at home. If they have a good start, the Old Trafford team will have the premise to make a good start. Currently, Man United has bought two impressive strikers, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
In addition, Man United will also meet a series of Premier League teams, AFC Bournemouth, Everton and West Ham, during their tour in the US. This will be a good opportunity to prepare carefully in all aspects soon.
Will Man City and Chelsea play with all their energy at the beginning of the season?
Man City and Chelsea are the two English teams that ended the 2024-2025 season the latest, when they had to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The tournament ends on 13 July, just over a month before the Premier League season starts.
For Chelsea, winning the Club World Cup could be a huge mental boost, giving them the victorship they need to reach new heights. But playing until mid-July could be a "disaster", because the players have little time to rest and prepare for the new season.
Only time will tell whether the Club World Cup will make Man City and Chelsea tired and prone to injury throughout the 2025/26 season, or will it affect the first few weeks of August?
What will Liverpool's new look look look like?
Liverpool won the Premier League last season, although they did not buy much. Arne Slot has inherited the formation left by Jurgen Klopp very well, making tactical changes without any notable additions.
In the summer of 2025, Liverpool made big changes, when they added a series of quality factors such as Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and almost finalized the contract of striker Hugo Ekitike.
The pre-season will give everyone a first look at the possibility of Frimpong, Kerkez and Wirtz completely changing Slot's attacking play. The matches against AC Milan and Athletic Bilbao will be interesting tests for Liverpool.
