      Man Utd are lucky to be 7th as stats show they should be in RELEGATION BATTLE and Chelsea deserve Champions League

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are lucky not to be facing a relegation battle this season, according to new statistics.That’s after the Premier League table based on expected points was released.Manchester United should be battling relegation according to the expected points tableCredit: GettyThe total points were calculated by looking at all results this season based on xG by data company Stats Perform.And anyone that has watched United give up shots for fun and struggle to create chances in recent games won’t be surprised to see them so far down the table.The table has them in 15th, with only Wolves and Crystal Palace separating them from the relegation zone.The miserable statistics will make for damning reading for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS as they look to decide on Erik ten Hag’s future.READ MORE FOOTBALLThe manager is feeling the pressure following a difficult second season and stormed out of his last press conference.The Dutchman objected to questions about where United will finish, with the team currently on course for their worst finish in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.He’s also experiencing more player unrest, after Alejandro Garnacho liked posts which publicly criticised his manager on X.SunSport exclusively reported earlier this month that the club have already sounded out Graham Potter as a potential replacement for Ten Hag, with INEOS being a long-term fan of the former Brighton man.Most read in FootballThe table suggests United are massively over performing this seasonCredit: SunSportCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThe projected points table makes for far better reading for Chelsea fans, however.If the Blues had finished according to their xG, they would be inside the top four, ahead of Newcastle on goal difference.Watch Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag storm out of press conference after Bournemouth drawPerhaps yesterday’s 6-0 win over Everton was an indication of what could be to come if Chelsea do actually start converting their chances.It also has Arsenal leading the title race by two points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester City.The disparity between where Arsenal could be and where they are could be explained by the club’s reluctance to buy a striker in the January window.Newcastle, who could be on a late charge for a potential fifth Champions League place after thrashing Spurs 4-0, would be in fifth on expected points if they had converted as well as they did on Saturday.The table also shows how much Brentford have missed Ivan Toney, with the club eighth on expected points.In reality they are 15th, and have only recently begun to pull away from the relegation strugglers.An important distinction to make is that the table does not include points deductions for Everton and Nottingham Forest – who would still be safe if their xG had been converted into actual goals.Tuchel showed why he could be the perfect man for Man Utd, says Andy DillonBy Andy Dillon
      TOMMY TUCHEL could not have done it better had he submitted his CV to LinkedIn or Indeed.
      Somehow mustering some gumption from the worst Bayern Munich team in more than a decade to stop a rampant Arsenal dead in their tracks is a spectacular job advert for a manager soon to be looking for work.
      If Sir Jim Ratcliffe wasn’t watching from his Old Trafford office or from the cinema room in one of his tax havens, he should have been.
      They may have even sat up and taken notice in Newcastle or in the owners’ Riyadh hub as Tuchel reminded everyone of his credentials as a top-level coach with devilish timing.
      If change is coming then Tuchel is playing a trump card.
      His side turned up and cowed the team that, as far as the current Premier League goes, is the best in England.
      It may only add to the questions around Tuchel that after tossing away the only league easier to win than Scotland’s or Spain’s, Munich have sprung to life in Europe.
      After 11 years unopposed as German champions, Chelsea’s former manager has chucked it in at home in a remarkable act of ineptitude. But freak years can happen.
      Tuchel is an enigma. But that is part of the appeal as much as winning the Champions League with Chelsea just three months after taking the job.
      With no new signings, he took a team that had lost five of the previous ten games and turned them into European Champions.
      With Ratcliffe considering swingeing budget cuts at Old Trafford, a coach who can perform wonders on peanuts would be music to his ears.

      Mikel Arteta ‘in talks’ with Man Utd cult hero and ex-team-mate about becoming Arsenal assistant manager next season

      by

      ARSENAL are in talks over appointing Gabriel Heinze as Mikel Arteta’s new assistant, according to reports.Gunners coaches Albert Stuivenberg and Carlos Cuesta have both been tipped to leave this summer to become managers.Ex-Man Utd star Gabriel Heinze could join Arsenal as a coachCredit: PA:Press AssociationMikel Arteta could need a new assistant if Albert Stuivenberg leavesCredit: ReutersWith Arsenal on the lookout for new staff, reports suggest that Heinze is in the running to replace them at the Emirates.ESPN Argentina claim Arteta has made contact with the ex-Manchester United star and is trying to persuade Heinze to make the move to Arsenal.The duo know each other from their days as team-mates at PSG in the 2001/02 season.Heinze played for Man Utd for three seasons from 2004, making 83 appearances and winning the club’s Player of the Year award in his first campaign.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe 45-year-old former full-back also played for the likes of Real Madrid, Marseille and Roma.Overall, he won three league titles, including the Premier League in 2006.Since hanging up his boots ten years ago, Heinze has ventured into management.He has worked with four clubs in his homeland – Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, Velez Sarsfield and Newell’s Old Boys.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERHeinze also spent a year in charge of MLS side Atlanta United before he was axed.Meanwhile, Arteta has refused to stand in Stuivenberg and Cuesta’s way should they want to move on.Emiliano Martinez gets emotional in live Sky Sports interview while talking about his love for ArsenalThe boss explained: “You cannot stop them. I wouldn’t, no.”I think everybody needs to feel that there is a path, there is a development plan for everyone. “People don’t want to do the same thing for three, four, five years and there is a way to incentivise people, to inspire other people, and then to explore.”You don’t really know the limit of a person unless you expose him to certain things. I think curiosity is a really important quality that we have within our young staff.”How Arteta made Arsenal horrible again, with Tony Pulis tactic and gentle star turned into Diego Costa-style hate figureBy Dave Kidd
      BOTTLERS, chokers, shandy-drinking southern softies.
      These were the charges levelled at Arsenal when they blew the title last season.
      And even if the actual reason they failed was because William Saliba got injured and Rob Holding had to start, Mikel Arteta clearly took those accusations to heart.
      If his team are not crowned champions next month, the Gunners boss has categorically ensured that they won’t go down being accused of nicey-niceyness.
      Because, as well as being thrillingly entertaining and free-scoring when they want to be, this season’s Arsenal are also thoroughly horrible.They are not here to make friends. They are not interested in being anybody’s second-favourite team.
      And so, six days after stink-bombing the Etihad with a display of Mourinho-esque anti-football for a 0-0 draw, Arsenal turned up at the home of former bogey-team Brighton and s***housed their way to a thoroughly impressive 3-0 win.
      How wonderful for the travelling Gooners to witness Ben White — against his former club — going down as if he’d taken a bullet to his neck when Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan brushed against him.
      White is renowned as a gentle and decent bloke, intelligent enough to challenge the zeitgeist and claim there might be things in life other than football.
      And yet suddenly he’s become some Diego Costa-style anti-hero hate figure, his wife goading the masses by posting social-media pictures of them playing a childish card game on a sun lounger after he’d refused an international call-up.
      Because Arsenal are horrible again. Even Ben White is a villain.And that might just be Arteta’s greatest triumph.
