#825 | Our weekly tactics show, now open for everyone. 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 the ugly (what is going on with Andre Onana?). CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 02:05 United's Pressing Issues 04:07 Tactical Analysis 09:13 Dorgu's Performance and Impact 16:53 Bruno Fernandes' Role and Challenges 18:17 Defensive Concerns and Onana's Performance 27:47 Upcoming Game Against Ipswich 31:14 Closing Remarks If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

#824 | 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 Amorim waited until the 70th minute to make any substitutions? And why United couldn't muster a shot on target until a couple of minutes later? And whether it'll ever get any better?  CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Bruno Fernandes: The Lifeline 02:25 Defensive Woes and Maguire's Struggles 07:05 Goalkeeping Concerns 10:42 Offensive Issues and Team Dynamics 17:23 Managerial Decisions 29:37 Europa League Hopes 31:34 Controversial Penalty Decision 33:30 Transfers and Player Performance 34:29 Relegation Battle 38:27 Youth Players and Team Dynamics 45:57 Financial Challenges and Player Sales 56:11 Closing If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

Daily #816 | 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 senior players out - including Marcus Rashford. Ed and Dominic analyse the window, what it means for United's transfer strategy, and where the club might go from here.

#729 | A famous victory over Manchester City at Wembley. Manager Erik ten Hag has been vociferously criticised this season. Any United manager whose team had finished eighth in the Premier League and been dumped out of Europe early would face deep scrutiny. But in the week a major media outlet claimed Ten Hag is toast at United, the Dutchman found a formula to beat Pep Guardiola's financially-doped blues. What a day. What a victory. After so much angst this season, United ended the campaign on a massive high. Ed & Dan celebrate.

#724 | United get hammered at the Palace as the season winds towards its inevitable, miserable, mid-table finish. United were even worse than expected in south London, and very little faith was held in Erik ten Hag's team prior to the game. The Dutchman has talked an aggressive game in recent weeks.

#723 | Antony scores a fine goal and United chuck away a lead against lowly opposition. Same, not same at Old Trafford. On this evidence, United's season cannot come to an end soon enough.

#721 | United beat Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final, but after surrendering a three-goal lead against a Championship team, it feels like a deeply hollow victory. United probably should have been dumped out of the cup and Ten Hag fired on the final whistle but for the most marginal of offside decisions. Ed & Dan discuss another fine day of Man-Yooing.

#815 | 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 are far from an efficient finishing team anyway. It's a seventh defeat at Old Trafford this season and, frankly, one United deserved. After a decent performance in midweek, where do United go from here? Ed and Dan discuss the game, look at the transfer market, and preview Leicester's trip to Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

#716 | Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory at Stamford Bridge. Just when we thought we'd seen he most braindead performance of the season, Erik ten Hag's men come up with a new low.

#706 United lose at home to Fulham and despite many lows this season, this was one of the most dispiriting defeats. Has Erik ten Hag learned nothing from 15 defeats in all competitions this season? And with Ten Hag asking people to look at the big picture, does the Dutchman realise United's future may not include him should the season end without trophies and Champions League football. Ed & Dan ask the questions and then look ahead to Forest in the Cup.

#704 Victory over Luton followed a now familiar pattern, with Erik ten Hag's side unable to produce a controlled performance despite scoring twice in the opening minutes. Rasmus Hojlund's double gave United the best possible start, but slowly Luton got back into the game and came close to pulling off an unlikely draw. Ed & Dan dig into another curious performance.

#703 United score late to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park. It was no vintage performance from Ten Hag's team, but once again Scott McTominay scored a crucial goal.

#701. United secure a comfortable victory over David Moyes' West Ham at Old Trafford. Is this finally the turning point?

#696. United draw an entertaining and often chaotic game against Spurs at Old Trafford.

#693. Almost inevitably, after the high of United's comeback against Villa last time out, Erik ten Hag's reds crash to defeat. It was a 14th loss in all competitions this season. Before the New Year.

#813 | 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.

#691. Defeat at West Ham increases the pressure on Erik ten Hag as we approach the end of the year. It was yet another pathetic showing from the reds.

#689. United exit the Champions League and it's all getting a bit too much for Ed & Tom. It's the fourth time in the past nine Champions League campaigns that United have exited at the group stage. It was also the 12th defeat in all competitions this season. Erik ten Hag's job is on the line, but can United even afford to fire him. What. A. Mess.
