The weekly tactics show. United escaped Goodison Park with a draw but for an hour it was another totally inept performance by the Reds. Ed, Dharnish and Daniel discuss United's tactical approach. The good (left-sided overlapping runs from Patrick Dorgu), the bad (the non-existent press and lack of intensity), and…
United fought back to earn a draw at Everton. It was a spirited end to the game after more than an hour of some of the worst football played by a United team in living memory. There's quite a long list in that department. Ed and Dan wonder why Ruben…
Defeat to Spurs for the third time this season. This one hit a little different, with an injury crisis prompting United to start the game with eight teenagers on the bench. Not that Ruben Amorim was tempted to use the kids for long - Chido Obi enjoying about three minutes…
In this episode Ed and Adam discuss the latest happenings in the world of Manchester United. They cover topics such as recent match performances, managerial tactics, and potential coaching changes. We dive into financial issues, squad restructuring, and answer your questions. From hypothetical coaching replacements to assessing the current state…
United secured FA Cup victory over Leicester through a last-minute Harry Maguire goal. It should be one of those very special nights at Old Trafford. So why does it feel so flat? We should be moving forward and yet the team, the system and even the fans feel more confused…
The winter transfer window has closed not so much with a bang but a whimper as far as Manchester United are concerned. There are three in and three out... and yet the details matter. United have bought one senior player and two youth players this January, and then loaned three…
Beaten by Crystal Palace at Old Trafford for the fourth time in five years. Not so much a fortress as as comfortable nest for the Eagles. United, without a striker on the pitch, were toothless (in the Premier League) once again. There were chances but only in halves and United…
United face a tricky process evolving Ruben Amorim's squad to fit the new manager's needs. The club needs to restructure the wage budget and target players who are willing to come to a non Champions League club (without the Champions League wages)... while trying to get decent fees for players…
Victory in Romania and it really should have been a rout. This was perhaps the closest iteration of a Ruben Amorim side yet. United were dominant in possession, creative in attack and but from some profligate finishing and desperate defending, the visitors would have run up a cricket score. Ed…
Patrick Dorgu, the Danish international left-back, wing-back, inside forward is set to join United for €30 million from Lecce. We finally have a left footed left back folks. Hallelujah! Praise the football gods. Ed and Dominic talk about the qualities Dorgu may bring to the team, think about some of…
Victory at Craven Cottage but with just one shot on target, there's plenty of questions about the path forward. This is still not a side that creates or scores freely despite the strong defensive performance in London. Then there's news about the future of Old Trafford, with government support apparently…
United beat Rangers in the Europa League with a last minute goal from Captain Bruno Fernandes. How many clutch moments can one man produce. There's action in the transfer market, with both Antony (loan) and Alejandro Garnacho (£??) potentially leaving the club. Ed and Tom bemoan the state of the…
Andre Onana started the season well, and at one stage had the best data (saves vs expected saves) of any keeper in the top European leagues. Yet, he has made some ridiculous errors in recent weeks against Wolves, Forest and Brighton. Together with mistakes that cost United last season, the…
That's 10 defeats in the Premier League this season. "Losing so many games at home is not acceptable," said Ruben Amorim after the game. And yet it has been the story now for two seasons. Amorim came in with one idea and one that he can only sell to the…
For 80 minutes, United were absolutely dreadful. Following two spirited performances away at Liverpool and Arsenal, confidence was high and the question that Ruben Amorim posed: could United sustain this performance level in a game when they're expected to win? He got a definitive answer. Then there was Amad. Amadadona.…
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…
We're at the halfway stage of the season and, well, it’s been pretty shit to date. Ed and Dan take a look at the squad, assessing how everybody has done so far, where United might look to evolve the squad this winter (or more likely in the summer) and what…
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? Ed and Wayne praise United's performance, pick apart the mistakes and bemoan a late Harry Maguire missed chance. Enjoy!
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…
It is one year since Sir Jim Ratcliffe, through his Trawlers Ltd company and INEOS Sport group, purchased just over 25% of Manchester United, later upped to over 28%. In that there has been a significant amount of change at the club. Not all of it has gone down well…
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. Ed and guest co-host Adam commiserate and then look forward to United's Boxing Day game at Wolves.
Are you not entertained? United are out of the League Cup after a chaotic game at Spurs in which Ruben Amorim's side gifted the hosts three goals. Ed and Wayne look back on an eventful night and aren't too disappointed despite exiting the competition. Then there's a look ahead to…
Ed and Dan review derby victory and then look ahead to United's EFL Cup quarter-final away to Spurs on Thursday night. Victory over City came in the final minute of normal time. Could it get any better than this? This was no classic derby, with both teams struggling to find…
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…
