United conceded dozens of shots and expected goals as they failed to win across three separate attempts this week. We broke down where exactly Ten Hag's setup is breaking down before talking about some positive lights in the side - Kobbie Mainoo, the returning Mason Mount, and recent academy promotee Willy Kambwala.
1After missing a few International Break uploads, we return to discuss some pertinent topics from last week's Liverpool game and how it pertains to the team as a whole moving forward.
Kees and Aaron discuss Alejandro Garnacho's season to date before starting their summer transfer preview series with a section on Amadou Onana.
Two consecutive league defeats virtually end United's prospects of finishing the league in a Champions League place. With that in mind, and more than a quarter of the league season still to play, we revolve around the question... what now?
United's predictable demise on the pitch gives us little to discuss, but their significant overhaul at executive level prompts a discussion about the upcoming search for managers and players, and where the club went wrong under Solskjaer and Ten Hag.
Aaron and Kees discuss whether or not United stole a win at Luton, whether Bruno Fernandes is the problem for this side, and rehash to what degree Ten Hag or the players are responsible for the side's wastefulness in possession.
Aaron and Kees chat United's tactical problems, the top 4 race, and a slew of players in United's squad.
Much better Starting XIs, slightly better performances, and two wins. But it's the three youngest players in United's Starting XI – Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro – who own the headlines this week after their match-winning performances. Here, we discuss why there's so much hype around these players.
This week, we reflect on the difficulties of scouting managers, both as they pertain to the time Erik ten Hag was hired at United and to the possible near future. We also discussed whether United as a team should be looking to return to more traditional wingers, and how important it might be.
Kees and Aaron answer you questions on all things United, as INEOS make their first major change to United's front office.
We returned from a month away to a Twitter Q&A that received a massive response. Most questions pertained to the significant changes in United's wing and midfield outlook during the holidays, giving us an opportunity to deep dive into these areas of the squad and how they are shaping up for the long-term future.
Aaron and Kees discuss a slew of rocky performances, and the crossroads that United seem to find themselves at as a result with the festive period nearing.
During this international break, we took a look at expiring contracts and their implication on long-term squad planning. Then, we did a quick update on Hojlund and Onana's injuries as well as current performances of rival teams, and what they mean for United in the short term.
With the return of the international break, we take the opportunity to get a birds-eye view of United's problems, and in turn attempt to forecast where United go from here. Note: A previous version of this episode was taken down due to issues with the audio.
The international break - combined with United's mixed results against Crystal Palace and Brentford prior - give us the opportunity to revisit the tape and discuss United's ongoing personnel issues in buildup and how (much) they're hurting the side.
A win, a loss, a win at the death, and a loss at the death put United even further into limbo than before. The side aren't obviously bad but they aren't good either. This week, we try our best to break down the chaos and navigate what comes next.
After losing to Bayern, United got their first win in four against Vincent Kompany's Burnley, but not without struggles. In light of the injury crisis, we assess how much can be expected of United in upcoming weeks.
United lost their third game in the first five of the new season after falling to Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton. Key to this match, Erik ten Hag's side rolled out a new 4-4-2 Diamond formation, with mixed results to say the least. We discuss the tactical changes in detail, how Brighton exploited them, and what they could mean for the side moving forward.
On this week's episode we discuss United's newest signing, Sofyan Amrabat, both in terms of how he plays and how he's likely to fit into United's squad as a result. We also touch on the signing of Sergio Reguilón, and the state of United's right wing position.
In the wake of a tough-to-swallow loss at the Emirates we break down the tactical and personnel driven forces that dictated the match, as well as digging in on what Rasmus Højlund's impact could look like going forward this season
