Rumours of a potential bid from Napoli

#800 | United produced a great backs-against-the-wall performance to beat Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup. Ruben Amorim's side scored a fine breakaway goal to lead before Arsenal's Andy Madley produced one of the more bizarre refereeing performances of the season, finding a reason to send off the careless Diogo Dalot before awarding one of the more ridiculous penalties you'll see. Altay Bayindir saved it and then another in the shootout after United defended with spirit with 10 men for an hou...

#799 | Arsenal v Manchester United in the FA Cup - one of the classic fixtures of the genre. It's the 16th time the two teams have met in the FA Cup, with United winning eight, although there have been a few painful defeats along the way. Ed and Adam preview the game at the Emirates where 8,000 United fans (1,000 fewer tickets than should have been allocated by the tight-fisted North Londoners) will cheer on Ruben Amorim's side. Can the visitors stop Set Piece FC lumping it into the box yet agai...

#798 | We’re at the halfway stage of the season and, well, it’s been pretty shit to date.

#796 | United pick up a creditable draw at Anfield where the team's spirit, resilience and organisation came to the fore. It begs the obvious question: why don't we see this every week?

#795 | Liverpool v Manchester United. The biggest game in English football. Hated rivals. 19 v 20 league titles. The benchmark for success. Except that this time United head into the game as huge underdogs. Injuries, poor form, a system that doesn’t suit the squad, Liverpool winning every game. And with United starting one inevitable Michael Oliver pen and/or red card down, could it be one of our best ever victories at Anfield on Sunday? Ed and Tom discuss. If you are interested in supporting t...

#792 | United are both a shockingly poor football team and desperately unlucky - Schrödinger's football team. Very little is going right at the club after the team suffered a fifth defeat under new Head Coach Ruben Amorim. Ed and Wayne try to unpick what happened at Wolves on Thursday night after Bruno Fernandes' red card and yet another goal conceded direct from a corner contributed to a 2-0 defeat. Then there's a look ahead to United's tie with Newcastle at Old Trafford on Sunday. If you are ...

It is one year since Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased 25% of United

#790 | Thrashed by Bournemouth yet again. WTAF is going on? Unlike the midweek defeat at Spurs, there was very little redeeming about this performance in which missed chances and defensive mistakes were scattered throughout.

Victory over City in the final minute of normal time

#785 | United beat Viktoria Plzeň eventually but not before an hour of some of the dullest football you've ever seen had passed. It was a disjointed United side unable to fashion good chances from lots of possession, going away yet another comical goal. And then came all the substitutions on the hour mark and a spectacular turnaround. Ed and Tom discuss victory in the Europa League and then look forward to City at the weekend.

The Dan Ashworth story keeps on rolling

#780 | United were beaten by Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday but it turns out a second defeat in a row isn't the big story of the weekend. On Sunday it was reported by The Athletic that Dan Ashworth has parted company with the club after just five months as Sporting Director. What went wrong for the executive for whom United paid £2m to Newcastle to secure? Why was he apparently fired by Jim Ratcliffe? There's also some football to discuss, with that Forest defeat on Saturday and a...
