Bullied in Brentford May 04, 2025

Show notes

#864 | Defeat to Brentford. United's focus may be on progress in the Europa League but this was a reminder of the team's lack of physicality. Despite scoring first through Mason Mount, United went on to concede some basic goals as Brentford bullied Ruben Amorim at set pieces and from wide areas all afternoon. United were much-changed but some very familiar weaknesses were on show. Ed and Dan review the afternoon's action and then look forward to Athletic Bilbao's visit to Old Trafford on Thursday. Then there's United Women who qualified for next season's Champions League after a 2-2 draw against City at Old Trafford.

The Game After The Epic Before Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

#856 | Defeat to Wolves at home - a 15th Premier League loss of the season. Pre-season vibes. Six starting players 22 or under. There wasn't the intensity or passion of United's victory over Lyon in midweek, nor could we expect there to be. Ruben Amorim rested most of his key players with all eyes on that May 1st game against Athletic Bilbao. Ed and Tom review a match that was dominated by context.

#855 | Victory over Lyon in the Europa League to book a place in the semi-final. Perhaps something can be salvaged from this disastrous season after all. United will meet Rangers/Bilbao next. Goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot were enough to secure the win at Old Trafford. Ed and Adam review the action and then look forward to Sunday's Premier League game against Wolves.
