Red Devil Rants: A Manchester United Podcast

There's only one topic of conversation this week Man City being found guilty of 99.1% of the 115 charges levied against them!Should City be stripped of their titles? Is relegation enough? Should other teams get their trophies? Is it worth getting two more league titles if it means Steven Gerrard gets one?!There's a lot to unpack but, of course, we still have time to talk United: We ponder if Michael Carrick is just the victim of fine margins? What City's charges mean for Omar Berrada and whether the weight of the Glazers is too much for United to ever be successful again.

Our nightmare start to the season continues, and we've got plenty to rant about.If throwing away a two-goal lead against Brighton wasn't enough; a drab draw with Fulham brings the dreaded question, Carrick in or Carrick Out?From tactical concerns, leadership problems on and off the pitch and the impact of injuries the debate rages over whether Michael Carrick is the man to lead United forward. And if he's not do we have to question whether Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada are the men to lead the club?Elsewhere, we discuss the JJ Gabriel saga and whether United should cut ties with the highly rated youngster amid growing off-field drama, and react to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's latest controversial comments and question the direction of the football club from top to bottom.

You know what this episode is about, we don't need to tell you!We discuss Sunday's Derby defeat, was it the player's fault? Should fingers be pointed at Carrick? Does the fact VAR got it wrong even matter after that performance?Whether it matters or not, we still have to talk about one of the most egregious decisions on VAR's error ridden history and another stain on PGMOL or ProRef or whatever the hell they call themselves!But we've still got time for a cheeky little question...does Bruno deserve the Ballon d'Or?

The transfer window closed with United deciding nothing more could be done, but is the squad equipped for the challenges ahead? We dissect the late Everton disappointment, Carrick’s comments and the debate over responsibility. With a Champions League fixture, huge derby and League Cup game around the corner, we look at what United’s immediate future could look like. Are there’s reasons for optimism or concern?

In this episode of Red Devil Rants, we discuss Manchester United’s 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town, praising Kobbie Mainoo’s standout midfield performance and Bruno Fernandes’ hat-trick and assist and his justified PFA Player of the year award. While encouraged by the attacking display, we discuss our concerns about defensive weaknesses after United conceded first once again. Marcus Rashford also comes in with praise for his work rate and overall contribution.
