Ian Irving is joined by Carl Anka and Andy Mitten with live breaking news as we preview Wednesday night's game against Roses rivals Leeds United.
Of course, on Saturday Marcus Rashford scored again as Manchester United beat Crystal Palace at Old Trafford; but, the result was overshadowed (slightly) by Casemiro's red card.

No apologies; Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka are excited about Manchester United going to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final after Erik Ten Hag named a strong line-up for the semi-final, 2nd leg, and Forest proved no match at Old Trafford.
And, with Christian Eriksen ruled out for several weeks through injury, we take a look at the deadline day loan move for Bayern Munich's Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. We said there was a chance!

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka review another comfortable home win, this time the FA Cup clash with Paul Ince's Reading. Casemiro was the main man once again, even scoring twice, and he's loving life in England.
Everything's evolving nicely under Erik Ten Hag, and Carl's taken a close look at their development for The Athletic, but with Christian Eriksen facing some time out, how much will they miss him during a hectic February?

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka are in good spirits (in one case, quite literally) and we've added a musical twist to the show as we celebrate taking control of the EFL Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
Taking a three goal lead into the home leg means Erik Ten Hag should be able to rotate his squad over the next few days. The optimism is flowing, so much so that we're not too downbeat about a slightly ominous financial report on Manchester United from The Athletic's Matt Slater.

Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell join Ian Irving for a jam-packed Monday edition, sore from a rousing but ultimately fruitless trip to North London.
Still, there's a Carabo Cup semi-final to look forward to... and, after changes to the Stretford End were announced, there's another Old Trafford date for our WSL table-toppers.

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, Carl Anka, and Laurie Whitwell were on cloud nine after the Manchester derby but it's down to Earth with a bump as United cost themselves two Premier League points with sloppiness at Selhurst Park.
Casemiro has become a vital presence in midfield, so much so that Erik Ten Hag chose to start with him on Wednesday night, and it proved costly. A yellow card means he will miss the trip to the Emirates to face league leaders Arsenal; perhaps we could do with another brilliant Brazilian!
Also in focus; Weghorst's adequate debut, Aaron Wan-Bissaka's remarkable turnaround in form, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe announcing his intention to make a bid for the club.

The podcast team were all in attendance, and a little giddy, as Manchester United fought back from a goal down to claim victory over City and move to within a point of Guardiola's men in the Premier League table.
After a first half masterclass from Erik Ten Hag, with some bold team selections allied to a canny strategy, Jack Grealish gave City the lead. But, United showed resilience and guts to equalise through Fernandes and Marcus Rashford took his Old Trafford scoring run into the record books to seal a famous win.

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Laurie Whitwell discuss the Carabao Cup quarter final win over Charlton, Manchester City's shock exit at Southampton, and the form of the two sides going into Saturday's derby.
And, as progress with the loan deal for Dutch striker Wout Weghorst picks up speed, The Athletic's analysis of United's recruitment system is proving a popular read. Laurie fills us in on the background to that article.

Carl Anka was at Old Trafford for the "standard home win" against Everton in the FA Cup third round on Friday night and he joins Ian Irving and Andy Mitten to reflect on another superb showing from Marcus Rashford, de Gea's wobbles, and encouragement for Antony.
Next up, Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup quarter-final; they're managed by Dean Holden, a huge United fan, and one Andy knows very well. And, of course, we had to talk about the surprising news that MUFC are in talks with Burnley (and maybe Besiktas as well) regarding a loan move for Dutch striker Wout Weghorst.

Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United made it six wins in a row with a comfortable victory at home against Bournemouth with several individuals putting in good performances.
Luke Shaw was the main man for new Athletic writer Mark Critchley but Casemiro showed his class again, David de Gea played an important role, and Marcus Rashford hit a six of his own.
