Chaos Everywhere
#1067 | Manchester United and Aston Villa played out a 4-4 Premier League draw at Old Trafford. It was chaos on the pitch while fans protested in the stands. United twice trailed by two goals and twice came back in dramatic fashion. Ed and Dan discuss.
There’s plenty to go over, from Michael Carrick’s cautious selection to some horrendous defending. But a sliver of light in United’s attack is finally scoring goals regularly.
Yet, with one win in the league, pressure remains on Carrick a quarter into the season. Will United change the manager? It seems like there’s very little impetus to do so. Howe, Conte, Pochettino, Nagelsmann are all waiting in the wings. Who exactly is making the decisions at the top? Nobody it seems.
