For backers, a rapid-fire review of this week's Premier and Champions League games. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

#466. We'll always have Paris, it was said during the darker times last season, but apparently it's a regular occurrence after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side won victory at Parc des Princes for the second time in as many years. This time was different though. United's manager out-thought his competitor as the Reds first contained, then dominated, and Sir Marcus scored. Ed & Paul discuss. There's a debate about the the bloodbath on United's balance sheet and a preview of the weekend's game against ...

#465. Well, that's one way to recover from a disastrous defeat! United recovered from the 6-1 hammering at Tottenham's hands and an early goal at St James Park to record a comfortable win.

Ed & Paul discuss all the fallout. Then there's a Champions League fixture at Paris Saint Germain on ...

#464. Hammered by Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in the worst performance by a United side since, well, you know that day.

#462. United got very, very lucky, but the first three points of the Premier League campaign are now on the board thanks to Bruno Fernandes' 100th minute penalty winner.

#461. Let's not start as we mean to go on! United finished last season limping over the finish line following an outstanding series of post-lockdown results. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's policy of using a small squad eventually told, with players suffering from fatigue by the end of the campaign. Little more than a month later and a strange mix of under-prepared and over-tired players arrived back in Carrington, some with no more than 10 days rest, all having played no more than one preparatory fixtur...

#460. It's the hope that kills you, so goes the cliché. And while United will look back on defeat to Sevilla with some disappointment, especially with Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young in Friday's final, Sunday's 2-1 loss concludes a season of some progress. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side reached three cup semi-finals and finished third in the Premier League - much better than many hoped during some dark moments in January. Ole has built a side with identity; one that scores some great goals and attac...

#458. Europe. Britain may be separated from the continent by a body of water, but United will be heading to the Europa League final eight mini tournament in Germany next week anyway. It was inevitable after United's 5-0 victory over LASK in Austria back in March, of course, but the Reds made sure with a hard-fought win at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. Ed & Paul mull over a forgettable game, look ahead to next week's fixtures in Cologne, and talk transfers and contracts! Hosted on Acast. See ...

#457. At one stage this season Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team was in 14th place in the Premier League, far closer to the relegation zone than earning a place in the Champions League. United's post-lockdown form has earned a place at Europe's top table, making up a gap of 15 points on Leicester and over-taking Chelsea in the process. Ed & Paul discuss United's 2-0 victory at the King Power Stadium and the implications for United's future. There's also a brief preview of the upcoming Europa League Ro...
