Pep Guardiola is optimistic about Manchester United and Chelsea bouncing back from their disappointing starts in the Premier League. He acknowledges the ebb and flow of a season and believes these teams will overcome their struggles.
Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is under increased pressure following their 3-1 loss to Brighton at home. Likewise, Chelsea is grappling with goal-scoring issues, as evidenced by their recent goalless draw against Bournemouth. United has endured three losses in their initial five games, while Chelsea has managed only one victory in their first five fixtures, amassing just five points under Mauricio Pochettino’s management.
Despite their struggles, Guardiola lauds Arsenal and Liverpool for their strong starts in the new season. He appreciates Arsenal’s impressive performance, particularly highlighting their recent game against Everton. Additionally, he commends Liverpool for their consistent mindset.
Regarding Manchester United’s start, Guardiola chuckles, indicating that it fell short of expectations. Nonetheless, he remains confident that both United and Chelsea, historically formidable teams, will soon regain their rhythm and showcase improved performances.
Guardiola emphasizes the significance of his own team, Manchester City, who have made an outstanding start by securing victory in all five matches. He views their performance following the treble win as highly commendable.
