The Game After The Epic Before
#809 | Defeat to Wolves at home - a 15th Premier League loss of the season. Pre-season vibes. Six starting players 22 or under.

Trailer: The Lost Tapes, Episode Six: Solskaer
You can find Manchester United: The Lost Tapes everywhere you get your podcasts!
Few players in the storied history of Manchester United Evoke emotion in the same way that's conjured by these three words, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with six league titles, two FA cups and intercontinental cup, and of course, a champions League. Solskjaer enjoyed success on a level that few have. His contribution to that success is etched in history. His winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final earned him sporting immortality. However, when he arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 1996, nobody knew his name, much less how to pronounce it.

Theatre of Yawns
#805 | Has a Manchester derby ever demonstrated this little intensity? United's prize is in the Europa League this season; City are playing for fifth. Perhaps hearts and minds were elsewhere but this was a low-quality, entertainment-light, casual affair that felt more like a pre-season friendly than a intra-city rivalry. But being pro-podcasters means Ed and Dan go on anyway.

#799 | United played out a hard-fought dead-rubber with perennial bridesmaids Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday. Before that thousands of United supporters protested against the ownership before the match.

Hands Down
#798 | Dominic joins Ed to break down Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in the Europa League. In many circumstances that's not a horrendous result. After all, United's record away to Spanish sides isn't exactly stellar. Yet, after controlling the style of game, Ruben Amorim's side very nearly collapsed after giving away a soft penalty. We've been here before. At least United didn't lose and should complete the job back at Old Trafford.

It's as bad as it's been in 40 years on the pitch, there's unrest among the fans, and 100s of people have lost their jobs at United.

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?

One Year of Brutal INEOS Cuts
Daily #81 | INEOS closed their acquisition of around 25% of Manchester United a year ago (now up to more than 28%) and the change has been stark and sometimes brutal. Layoffs, cost-cutting, poor management decision making. It's an attempt to turn the club around but with brutal consequences. How should we think about it. Ed and Tom try and digest a year of change.

The Kids Are ... Nowhere in Sight
#793 | 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 at the end of another disappointing game. This was a poor quality game, a ninth defeat for Amorim, leaving United in 15th place. FIFTEENTH PLACE.

Slabhead vs the Horseshoe
#791 | 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 than ever. Ed and Tom enjoy the win but can't help but feel concerned.

Trailer - The Lost Tapes: Episode Three - Knighton 1989
Manchester United: The Lost Tapes episode three is out now on all podcast platforms. We think you'll love it. More below.
---
Manchester United has been subject to numerous takeover attempts in its rich and controversial history. In the early 1980s, Robert Maxwell chanced his arm, so too did Rupert Murdoch with BSkyB in 1998. We all know about the Glazer family's seizing of control in 2005 and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent acquisition of a minor but controlling share.
Still, perhaps the most infamous of all remains Michael Knighton's fascinating attempt to buy Manchester United in the summer of 1989. You'll remember many of the details, surely. The sight of the former schoolteacher doing Trafford pitch before the opening day of the season has gone down in legend.
United spent big, as Knighton promised the world. Yet, before Christmas, his takeover bid had collapsed, and he was proclaimed as a Walter Mitty character by the press. What went wrong has often been disputed. Now, for the first time, you'll hear the reasons for the breakdown, as it happened, told by those who were involved at the time.
This is Manchester United, The Lost Tapes. Stories from United's rich history, told in a way you've never heard before.

Window S̶l̶a̶m̶s̶ ̶S̶h̶u̶t̶ Closes Meekly
Daily #80 | 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.

(Old Trafford) Where Eagles Soar
#790 | 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.

How to Evolve the Squad
Daily #79 | 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 who are wanted. Ed and Adam discuss.

English football has always had its rivalries. Where there is champion, there is a challenger. With over a century of history, it had rarely been the case that two of the most successful teams were competing at the same time. That was the case towards the end of the 20th century.
Manchester United and Arsenal competed against each other for a generation, but it was under Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger when competition became an interchangable word for tribal warfare.
Years of mounting tension finally erupted just after the turn of century when a series of matches at Old Trafford became progressively more hostile. It all culminated in a showdown at Highbury in February 2005.
The conclusion was epic. But so was the journey. This is the unheard story of the greatest rivalry in Premier League history.

Romanian Rhapsody
#789 | 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 and Dan digest United's progress towards the last 16, debate the latest moves in the transfer market and look ahead to Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Transfer Duds

Costing the club £85m when he joined two and a half years ago, the Brazilian has rarely delivered on the pitch and been, well, a bit more of a hit off it. But where does Antony rank in the worst post-Fergie transfers? Ed and Adam discuss.

Manchester United: The Lost Tapes. One - Cantona
This is the first episode of a new project, Manchester United: The Lost Tapes.You can find The Lost Tapes on its own feed, everywhere you find podcasts. Enjoy.
---
Few footballers have had a transformative impact to compare with that of Eric Cantona at Manchester United. When he arrived at Old Trafford from Leeds United, the club were still licking their wounds after passing 25 years without a league title - ironically, marking the occasion by coming agonisingly close in a battle with Cantona’s then-club.
In November 1992, the relationship between Cantona and Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson had deteriorated. Cantona had scored the Premier League’s first-ever hat-trick, and his immense talent was not in doubt - but his discipline was. Wilkinson had brought Cantona to Leeds as recently as January after the Frenchman had been effectively thrown out of his domestic league. The Leeds manager was known as Sergeant Wilko for a reason; however, so too was Eric nicknamed Enfant terrible.
Wilkinson found himself with an unexpected solution when he attempted to strengthen his defence. He needed a full-back, so asked his chairman Bill Fotherby to enquire whether Manchester United would allow Denis Irwin to return to Elland Road. United chairman Martin Edwards said no - but, after a brief discussion with Alex Ferguson, made a counter- offer. Could Manchester United sign Eric Cantona? A deal was swiftly agreed. Leeds felt they were losing a troublemaker. The world of football felt Ferguson was taking a gamble he could ill afford.

Introducing - Manchester United: The Lost Tapes
This is Manchester United: The Lost Tapes. Stories about United's rich history, told in a way you've never heard before. Written by Wayne Barton, narrated by Patrick Barclay and produced by Studio 1878.
Episode One: Cantona
Eric Cantona’s arrival from Leeds United transformed Manchester United after a 25-year title drought, reshaping the club’s fortunes and igniting the Premier League’s imagination. Internal conflict at Leeds and Cantona’s infamous disciplinary issues under Howard Wilkinson, culminated in a startling twist when Leeds approached United about signing Dennis Irwin. Instead, United countered with an offer for Cantona—setting in motion one of football’s most pivotal transfers and redefining what it meant to be a United legend.
Some episodes coming later in the season include ...
Bitter Rivals
In the late 1990s and early noughties there were no more fierce rivals than Arsenal and Manchester United. From the mass brawl at Old Trafford in 1990, to trading titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999, two epic FA Cup semi-finals and pizzagate, no holds were barred.
Welcome to Hell
In 1993, Manchester United ended the 26-year wait to win a league title. Their reward for that piece of history was to compete in the European Cup. United had qualified for the semi-finals in each of their five campaigns under Sir Matt Busby, winning it in 1968. The club's first foray into the tournament tin almost a quarter of a century was to end in stunning, controversial fashion, with one of the most memorable ties in the history of the competition. This is Manchester United's Welcome to Hell.
Knighton
It is 1989 and Michael Knighton is on the Old Trafford pitch juggling a football and scoring at the Stratford End in front of a bemused crowd. Knighton had secured a £20m acquisition of Manchester United, agreeing to purchase shares from then club Chairman Martin Edwards. The investment would be put towards improving the first team and rebuilding the Stratford End. Yet, within a fortnight the deal had collapsed amid acrimony and accusations that Knighton didn't have the money to complete the deal. This is the inside story from those who covered it on the ground.

Glove Actually
Daily #75 | 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 focus is once again on a stopper who has not lived up to his price tag or billing. Should United dip into the market? Can United afford to dip into the market? Ed and Dominic discuss.

Maybe the Worst Team in the History of Manchester United
#786 | 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 players if they win games. Right now, this is a United team that's a mess, in a club that's haemorrhaging money and credibility. Ed and Dan survey another disaster at Old Trafford. “We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Man United, we have to acknowledge that,” Amorim added. He might not be wrong.

#785 | 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. Maradiallo. El Amad de Oro. This is Amadchester United. Ed and Wayne marvel at the little man's big performance and worry about United's future.

But should the club even think about selling a high potential young player? Ed and Isabel discuss.

We Can Be Heroes
#784 | 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 hour. Ed and Dan enjoy United's performance.

Daily #70 | 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 again?

Daily #68 | 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.

Schrödinger's United
#780 | 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.

INEOS Takeover One Year On
Daily #66 | 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 with the fans. Ed and Wayne review a year of disruption at the club.

#779 | 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.

Marcus, the End?
Daily #64 | A lot has happened over the past couple of days when it comes to Marcus Rashford. First, the forward was left out of Ruben Amorim's squad to play Manchester City at the weekend. Then the club briefed Jamie Jackson, on Monday, that Rashford is up for sale. On Tuesday, Rashford spoke to Henry Winter about his readiness for "a new challenge." Ed and Tom discuss the latest, in a fast-moving story that may well be out of date by the time we publish!

Manchester is Red, City are Blue
#777 | 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 any kind of consistent form this season. But Rumen Amorim's plan to keep City at arms length worked, even if United created few high quality chances. And yet his team found a way through Amad Diallo, surely United's player of the season to date. The little man created the penalty for captain Bruno Fernandes put away and then he scored the winner for Amad finish to the game. Yes!

Hojlund Double, Onana Trouble
#776 | 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.

Three Cheers | Viktoria Plzeň v United Europa League Preview
Daily #62 | United face Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday in a critical Europa League fixture, with Ruben Amorim’s team realistically needing at least two wins from the final three games to avoid a play-off. Plzen, or in English vernacular, Pilsner, is the home of the world famous beer and there will be more than a few Reds sampling the local brews on this trip. Away from the beer, Ed and Adam assess United’s chances and think about where Viktoria might be able to hurt the visitors.

With more than 450 games for the club between them and countless trophies, each added much to United's modern history. Nani ended his career at Estrela da Amadora, Fabio at Gremio and Rafael at Botafogo. Ed and Wayne discuss their impact.

Ashworth Didn't See the Forest for the Trees
#775 | 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 trip to Viktoria Plzen on Thursday.

Undone by the Quinoa Dons
#774 We saw it coming. Arsenal have been exceptional at capitalising on set pieces this season, consistently creating chances to win free kicks and corners. United ultimately conceded 13 corners, with two leading to goals for Mikel 'Pulis' Arteta's side. While United’s structure largely held firm, limiting Arsenal's threat from open play, their own attack lacked any real menace. Ed and Wayne break down a frustrating result and examine yet another reminder of the daunting task ahead for new Head Coach Ruben Amorim. There's a discussion about the Rainbow Laces campaign and a tribute to Kath Phipps who has passed away.

Is Marcus Rashford's return to goalscoring form? Ed and Dan think not. After reviewing United's victory over Everton, there's a preview of the trip to Arsenal on Wednesday.

This was far from a perfect United performance, but it is already a team with more identity and clearer patterns of play than at any time under Erik ten Hag. Ed and Tom discuss United's victory on Thursday and then look forward to Everton's visit this weekend.

Finishing Touch
#767 A one-all draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford, given the context over the past week isn't so bad, although interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooij will rue some poor finishing. That has been one of the major stories of the season. Once again United created chances, taking 11 shots but missed four 'big chances' as defined by Opta. It's a challenge that incoming Head Coach Ruben Amorim has to fix.Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to Thursday night's game against PAOK.

For the first time in what feels like a lifetime, we enjoyed the football and could feel good about being United fans again. It's temporary and we can't read much into one game but Ed and Tom are feeling joyous about it anyway.

A verdict Against Reality
#764 Defeat to West Ham leaves Erik ten Hag on the brink once again. Yet, it was also a chaotic game in which United created a fistful of chances, gave up all momentum and lost because of one of the most ridiculous VAR penalty decisions you could ever see. Ed and Wayne try and largely fail to make any sense of it all.

NQAT Extra: Football Taught By Matt Busby
Wayne has a new book out in the spring looking at that perpetual topic of debate: Manchester United’s identity. The new book “Football Taught By Matt Busby” contains newly unearthed images of Sir Matt Busby as well as interviews with Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, and other key figures in Manchester United’s history. How did United become the global behemoth it is? And how and why did Busby take the club to the summit of the game – and build an empire that lasted for decades? Ed and Wayne talked about the premise behind the book and how themes of identity and flowed through managers from Busby onwards.

A Wombat's Picnic, Mate
#758 Another home game in the Premier League, another hammering. It's not looking good for Erik ten Hag. United were shambolic from the start against an energetic Spurs side. Bruno's red card didn't help, but the game felt lost long before the dismissal. Now United must pick up again. Ed and Dan ask how it came to this and look ahead to the Europa League fixtures against Porto on Thursday.

A Famous Cup Victory
#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.

Annus Horribilis
#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. One win in seven says more than the soon-to-be-departed manager ever can. Ed & Dan digest another miserable evening in Unitedland.

Manchester Supersonics
#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. It is a season-long malaise that manager Erik ten Hag has been unable to turn around. Ed & Wayne discuss.

Victory That Felt Like a Defeat
#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.

On the Spot
#710 United beat Everton at Old Trafford to (just about) stay in the hunt for a Champions League place following two penalties from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

The Bigger Picture
#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.

It's Still the Midfield
#661. It hasn't been the best start to the campaign, with a second poor performance in a row, this time defeat at Spurs. Erik ten Hag still has some problems to sort out, especially in midfield where Mason Mount and Casemiro seem lightweight and unfit. Ed & Dan discuss.

Victory in Devastating Style
#659. United are three points better off than at this point last season - and that's about the most positive thing that can be said about the performance in beating Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford. This was not Ten Hag's side anywhere near its best. But is there something still missing that could be fixed in the last two weeks of the transfer window? Ed & Dan look back on the game and think about where the United manager may still want reinforcements.

This wasn't United at their best. Far from it. But with injuries and fatigue a massive factor, expectations were a little muted coming into the game. Now there's a Cup Final against City to look forward to. Ed & Tom discuss.

There's something about the triumvirate of Maguire, Lindelof and De Gea together that's particularly disastrous. Ed & Dan discuss another wilderness years defeats.

Not Marcus!
#628. Victory over Everton at Old Trafford, but Marcus Rashford hobbled away to leave United fans hoping that the striker's groin recovers rapidly. One step forward, a massive leap back when it comes to injuries. Antony Martial scored his first goal in, well, forever and Christian Eriksen came off the bench. That was the good news amid a solid victory over a limited Everton. Ed & Wayne digest the good and bad and look ahead to Sevilla on Thursday.

With state-owned Newcastle overtaking soon-to-be state-owned United in the league, are we facing up to a depressing future for the game? Then on to Brentford in midweek and a chance for United to put right what went wrong on Sunday.

#619. Smashed at Anfield yet again. We went into the game confident in United's progress and left it wondering what the hell just happened. Seven goals from eight shots on target, but too many players were "unprofessional" according to Erik ten Hag. Ed & Dan mostly agree.

In fact, despite the home side's lofty status in La Liga this season, United created enough chances to score more than twice on an entertaining evening.

Heads Up
#584. Another important win, another step forward under Ten Hag. Perhaps this United side has something about them after all. It wasn't fluent against West Ham at Old Trafford, but United dug in at important times and held out for a win, three points, and yet more evidence of progress. Ed & Tom discuss and then look forward to Thursday's game against Real Sociedad in the Europa.

Spin Doctor
#583. United beat Sheriff at Old Trafford, but all anybody wants to talk about is Antony's 720 degree spin. Was it entertainment? Was it showboating? Both, perhaps, though the pundits seem to be united in their condemnation. Ed & Wayne wonder when it became against the rules to have fun.

He Only Came for the Payday
#582. United come back from a goal down to secure a very late draw at Chelsea. A fantastic point gained or disappointment that superiority over the 90 minutes didn't result in victory? Ed & Dan discuss. There's much to unpack, including another excellent performance by goalscorer Casemiro, Rafael Varane's injury and another step forward under Ten Hag.

Narcissistic Man Baby Bids Goodbye
#581. Probably the best performance under Ten Hag, perhaps even for many years. United were dominant against Spurs at Old Trafford; a dynamic performance that offers some insight into the team that the manager is still trying to build. Ed & Dan thoroughly enjoyed it. But it can't only be good news, can it, with Cristiano Ronaldo dominating the headlines by leaving the game and ground early. In this week's interview, Ed talks to author Ryan O'Hanlon about his new book, Net Gains.

United vs the State
#580. United vs Saudi FC at Old Trafford. That state of modern football. Wearing the national team colours, Newcastle left with a point, but it really should have been victory for Ten Hag's side. United were robbed by the ref and VAR and guilty of missing two huge chances. Ed & Tom look back on a frustrating afternoon.

The Scottish Player
#579. "How the days stretched out - each one the same as the one before, and they would continue to do so, tediously, until the end of history." - William Shakespeare on the Europa League. And while the Bard is not known to have been a Manchester United fan, he would surely have enjoyed The Scottish Player (II) stroking home a fine late winner. Under the floodlights, on a 'special' European night. Ed & Dan discuss.

After a humiliating defeat to Manchester City last weekend, Ten Hag's team has secured two away victories in a row. No small thing.

The win leaves United in a decent position to qualify from the group stage but may need to beat Real Sociedad away later this month to top the group. Ed & Tom discuss the performance in Cyprus and look ahead to Sunday's game against Everton at Goodison Park.

Did Erik ten Hag get the system and approach wrong? Probably. But would United have lost anyway? Yeah, maybe. At least there's another game coming up, with United playing on Thursday afternoon in Cyprus. Joy.

#573. United lose to Real Sociedad in the Europa League and Ten Hag's recent run of victories is at an end. Momentum is lost, and while the manager needed to freshen up, the step down from his preferred XI is quite a drop. While United's tepid performance was frustrating, the role of referee Marco Di Bello in defeat cannot be overlooked. Ed & Tom discuss.

Victory at Leicester was hard earned, but with control. Ed & Wayne discuss, summarise the end of the transfer window and look forward to Arsenal at the weekend.

Ed & Dan look back on a week without recriminations and forward to better things to come for a United side that is edging towards "not being totally crap." What does the future now hold for Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, the main losers from United's winning week. Then there's the market, with United (apparently) prepared to pay absolutely crazy money for Ajax' Anthony.

David Jones apologised; Gary Neville laughed along with the United fans who haven't enjoyed a performance this good from United for quite some time. It's one game, but one to enjoy. Ed & Tom discuss.

New Season, Same Old Problems
#564. Ten Hag begins with a defeat. It was predictably awful from United for much of this game. The club has spent the summer avoiding central midfielders like they’re the plague and it showed, with Scott “Eight Completed Passes” and Fred giving ample evidence of that in the first half. Not that anybody bar the owners thinks McFred is a sustainable option. There is so much work to be done.
But the game is almost secondary to the negligence the club has shown this summer. 18 players out, three in. Avram Glazer was in the stands having a good laugh at it all.
That’s not Ten Hag’s fault, but he’ll pay a price for being left short of more than a few players. Ed & Dan discuss.

It was all too much for Ralf Rangnick, who threw his players and employers under the bus and then slowly reversed back over them. Not before time some might add.

United Nil
#540. Ed & Dan take stock of the week's international events in which football has played a dark part. We look back on United's scoreless draw with Watford, one of the Premier League's worst sides. The home side took 22 shots, but with just two on target, is it time for a new approach? Then there's a look ahead to next weekend's Manchester derby.

He's a Dancer
#539. Ed & Wayne catch up on United's draw with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. It wasn't a pretty performance, but Anthony Elanga's late strike secure a valuable away draw. He's a dancer alright. Then we dive into United's home game against Watford at the weekend. Can the Reds gain revenge for the 4-1 defeat in November?

Progress of Sorts
#537. Ed & Wayne discuss United's 2-0 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford. It may be Champions League week around Europe, but the big game of the night was in Manchester(!) Ronaldo's first goal since December, a red card out of nothing, and a late Bruno strike followed. Then we dive into a preview of United's trip to Leeds at the weekend.

Ralf on Ralf
#536. Ed & Dan look back on United's disappointing home draw with Southampton, with Ralf Rangnick's side once against throwing away a lead. Ralf Hassenhuttl knew exactly why United did it, as well. WE assess the current state of the 'race for the top four' and then turn to United's match against Brighton on Tuesday night. For backers, this week's action in the Premier League.

Captain, Leader, Liability
#535. Ed & Tom discuss United's frustrating draw at Burnley. For 45 minutes it looked like Rangnick's system had finally stuck, only for the intensity and focus to disappear after the break... and none more so than from United's calamitous captain, Harry Maguire. There's a chat about Wayne Roooney's studs and a short preview of Southampton at home this weekend.

The Hand of Wat(more)
#534. Ed & Dan catch up on United's FA Cup exit. 30 shots, seven big chances created, but just the one goal scored. Middlesbrough's equaliser may have been aided by Duncan Watmore's hand, but United only had themselves to blame. It will now surely be another trophyless season. Games come at you fast: there's a preview of Burnley on Tuesday night. For Patreon backers, a look back on some favourite FA Cup memories.

Then there's a dissection of Ed Woodward's legacy at United, with the Glazers favourite stooge heading out the door on 1 February. Finally, we look ahead to Villa in the Premier League next weekend.

Ragnick's tinkering or the players' lack of "aggression and intensity" as Luke Shaw put it? Then there's a look ahead to next week's FA Cup game against Aston Villa.

Instead, Ed and Wayne talk about how Covid is impacting football, Kieran McKenna leaving the club for Ipswich, the Champions League draw and Newcastle just after Christmas.

It's progress even if neither of the week's matches was much to remember. Then there's a look ahead to games against Brentford and Brighton in the Premier League. Finally, we say goodbye to Paul, who is retiring from podcasting after 524 episodes.

#523. Here we are at the Ralf Rangnick era and if the first match is anything to go by it's going to be ... a bit more secure at the back with a little more pressing up front. There were only a few clues about what might come, but they were mostly positive. Ed & Paul discuss United's 1-0 victory over Palace and look forward to games against Young Boys and Norwich.

Ralf: Rangnick
#522. Michael Carrick's reign as interim interim United manager is (probably) over. Two games, no defeats, a couple of backs-to-the-wall performances that weren't pretty, but were needed in the context of a disastrous period. Ed & Paul look back on victory in Villareal, a draw at Chelsea and ahead to games against Arsenal and Crystal Palace. Then there's a long discussion about the impending arrival of Ralf Rangnick on a six-month contract as interim manager with another two years in what could be a powerful consultancy role.

#521. That's it folks. Ole is no more. After another humiliating defeat - this time at Watford - Joel Glazer brought the axe down on Solskjaer's three years as Manchester United manager. It had to happen, but in classic United style, the planning has been, well, sub-optimal. Michael Carrick takes over as interim interim manager. The king is dead, long live the king.

#520. Another hugely depressing defeat at home to a Premier League rival. The score may have been 'just' 2-0 to the visitors but Manchester City annihilated United at Old Trafford. It was one of the most lopsided derbies in memory and a lesson in a side that is well coached versus one that is clearly not. How much longer can Ole survive. Ed & Paul discuss.

#519. There'll be no sacking this week. United followed up last weekend's thrashing against Liverpool with victory at White Hart Lane. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer switched up the tactics and was rewarded with three very high quality goals, helped a little by just how dreadful the home side are under Nuno Espirito Santo. Ed & Paul discuss Ole's stay of execution. Then there's a preview of games against Atalanta and Manchester City.

United did at least beat Atalanta in the Champions League in midweek, but after Liverpool's victory on Sunday, there's little appetite to discuss it.

Solskjaer's Leicester Disaster
#517. There's no sugar coating it - United were desperately poor against Leicester. The winning goals may have come late, but Leicester were good value for the victory. The manager's selection was a mess, the strategy was a mess, as were the individual performances of far too many players. Ed & Paul discuss. Then there's a look ahead to games against Atalanta in the Champions League and then the big one against Liverpool next weekend. We invite Liverpool fan Chris Etchingham [@CEtchingham77] on to the pod to preview the match.

Martial scores, United miss
#516. After a late goal secured victory over Villareal in the Champions League, United came back down to earth with dropped points at home to Everton. Was it more evidence that United have failed to progress this season despite three big-name acquisitions or another blip in an otherwise record of progress under Ole? Ed & Paul are leaning towards the former. For backers, some chat about the Champions League.

Inside Bruno Fernandes
#515. What got to Bruno Fernandes more? The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club; the pressure of a 90th minute match-saving penalty; or Emiliano Martinez' less-than-sporting but still quite funny shithousery? All three perhaps. Either way, Bruno launched the pen high into the stands and United lost for the second time in a week. Not that Bruno's miss was the real story of United's defeat to Aston Villa. That was all about the gameplan that Ole got wrong and couldn't change.
Ed & Paul digest all the fallout from United's double-defeats to Villa and West Ham and then look ahead to games against Villareal and Everton in the week to come. Enjoy!

He's One of Our Own
#514. When West Ham supporters serenaded Jesse Lingard as "one of our own" on Sunday they probably didn't anticipate the player, who has been at United since the age of seven, would return the gesture with the winning goal. Lingard did his best to keep a lid on celebrations. Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes were having none of it.
Ed & Paul discuss a dramatic afternoon in East London, but first the hugely disappointing performance and result at Young Boys in Berne on the opening matchday of this season's Champions League. For all the progress under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer , the Norwegian still has much to learn.
Finally, an interview Ed conducted with Smarterscout founder Dan Altman earlier this summer on evolution in the football analytics market.

#512. Ronaldo this, Ronaldo that. The prodigal son returned to Old Trafford and scored twice as United beat Newcastle to go top of the table after four games. With Ryan Giggs in the Directors Box, Old Trafford worshipped Ronaldo like never before. It makes for an uncomfortable conversation about lionised footballers and violence against women. On the pitch Ronaldo was excellent and United eventually showed some of the fluent football that we hope for this season.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

It was a fortunate result given just how many chances the home side created and yet more evidence of just how badly United need reinforcements in central midfield. Ed & Paul discuss a mixed performance in the Midlands. Then there's some transfer chat, with Cristiano Ronaldo re-joining the club after more than a decade away. Ronaldo has won it all in Spain and Italy, but there's no getting away from a difficult conversation about the player's legacy.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Will United now challenge for the title? We look at issues in defence, midfield and attack, breaking down how United might play in the season to come and examining what additions Ole might still need before the transfer window closes.

The book could not have come at a more prescient time, with Calvin offering a critique of the role greed has played in transforming the game and how community will always mean that the beautiful game remains the people's game. We discuss the Super League, the Glazers, and what might come next as private equity and vulture capital creeps ever deeper into the sport.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Sh*t Got Villareal
#503. The campaign ended in disappointed in the Europa League final. There has been progress this season, but United's penalty shoot-out defeat to Villareal exposed plenty of flaws in the team and in the manager. United's Plan A didn't work against a well coached opponent. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn't have a Plan B. Ed & Paul digest a frustrating night.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#501. On the pitch, United's mens team lose to Leicester and Liverpool amid a hectic schedule. Is the heavy workload catching up with Ole's team at just the wrong time?

Lights, Camera, Direct Action!
#499. United's game versus Liverpool at Old Trafford was postponed after fans' protest against the Glazer family's ownership spilled onto the pitch.

They didn't need it, they didn't want it. Then the house of cards came crashing down on Tuesday night... and Ed Woodward resigned. Ed & Paul discuss the short-lived Super League and its legacy.

Against Modern F**tball
#496. This episode was recorded at 6.30pm after United beat Burnley. Events regarding the 'Super League' have moved on a little bit since we recorded. On the pitch United beat Granada and then Burnley to conclude a successful week - into the semi finals of the Europa League and then solidifying second place domestically. Off it, United are among 12 European clubs to sully 150 years of history, throwing under the bus millions of fans in the name of ever more money, with the announcement of "Super League," a new European competition designed to replace the Champions League and hoover up ever more cash. As Ajax fans once said, "Against Modern Football." Very much against it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#493. Victory over Milan in Italy took United into the Europa League quarter finals, but the achievement was overshadowed by defeat to Leicester in the FA Cup. It wasn't just any defeat, but a comprehensive win for the hosts who outplayed United in every part of the game. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players may have been tired, but the manager's tactics, selection, use of substitutes and his players' performances - especially in defence - were beyond risible. Ed & Paul are not happy.Also on the show - a look at United's new shirt sponsor, TeamViewer and for backers we make fun of Jose Mourinho. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mind you that list includes Arsenal so perhaps that stat isn't worth the chip paper it's printed on. While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team was cautious in securing a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the game ended in some controversy with United being denied an obvious penalty for Callum Hudson-Odoi's handball.
