Submit ReviewLogistics very nearly got the better of us but despite a dash to Euston after the penalties we do have a Wembley podcast for you with instant reaction to the win over Brighton from Ian Irving, Carl Anka, Andy Mitten (just about), and Laurie Whitwell.
It'd be fair to say this one wasn't a classic, but Victor Lindelof's winning penalty did set up the first ever all-Manchester FA Cup final, and a possible chance to deny City the treble...

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Laurie Whitwell report on a disastrous night for Manchester United after they were dumped out of the UEFA Europa League in Seville.
The men will have to pick themselved up quickly to beat Brighton in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final; a feat already achieved by the women's team, who went on to beat Arsenal in the WSL on Wednesday night. Chelsea may yet pip them to the title, but they should now qualify for next season's Champions League.

Enjoy our thoughts on Maguire reactionaries, magnificent midfield triumvirates, Skinner time, and failed Keylor Navas faxes... oh yeah, and lethal Antony.

Ian Irving hosts a slightly shell-shocked Europa League debrief with Carl Anka, Laurie Whitwell, and Andy Mitten.
Manchester United were 2-0 up after twenty minutes against relegation-threatened Sevilla, with the Spanish side naming some first-choice players on the bench. It was a golden opportunity to finish off the tie.
That the game finished level was largely down to an uncomfortably familiar frailty, the inability to maintain control, but it could also have been worse had de Gea not (again) made some crucial saves.

We're four-handed all week with Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, Laurie Whitwell, and Carl Anka meeting online this Monday before getting together at Old Trafford on Thursday.
There's an Everton debrief and a news round-up before we preview the reason for that in-person reunion; a Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla. But, will the visitors play like the most successful team in Europa League history or La Liga relegation contenders?

Ian Irving, Laurie Whitwell, and Andy Mitten were relieved to see Manchester United win in the Premier League for the first time since February; who else but Marcus Rashford provided the winning goal after a neat header from the more-advanced Marcel Sabitzer.
Ten Hag's side will host Everton this Saturday lunchtime and while, league position says it will be a difficult place for them to get a result, they do have a surprisingly good record at Old Trafford in recent years.

A full complement again as Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, Carl Anka, and Laurie Whitwell preview Manchester United's hectic April schedule, one they'll start without Casemiro away at Newcastle United.
And, there's a glance ahead to next season and the possibility that some established players may leave. Scott McTominay had a great week for Scotland, but would you keep him, and what about David de Gea?

It's a full house as Carl Anka, Andy Mitten, and Laurie Whitwell join Ian Irving for our second week of the international break.
Roughly 28,000 were at Old Trafford to see Manchester United WFC return to the top of the Women's Super League, and the title race is hotting up nicely!
As always, Manchester United's men had a host of players away on international duty, so we took some more of your questions, focussing on squad depth and fringe players.

Ian Irving brings you the latest on Manchester United's takeover talks with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell, and while there was a bit of drama it felt more like Corrie than Dynasty.
And, with the international break this week, we asked for your questions about the club (and the podcast). There were so many good ones we'll be rolling it over to Monday, but we made a good start with answers on gaiju attack response, Indonesian rice wine, and Ljubljana to name a few!

A 3-1 home win in the FA Cup against Fulham sounds like comfortable Sunday afternoon viewing for Manchester United fans. You probably already know that wasn't the case, but Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Laurie Whitwell are here to fill you in on the details.
We consider the potential for two domestic semi-finals against Brighton, one of which could lead to a Manchester derby at Wembley, and we react to an Arsenal-less Europa League quarter final draw. More chips, anyone?

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka review a disappointing weekend for both the men's team, who saw Casemiro sent off in a goalless draw with Southampton, and the women who lost to WSL title rivals Chelsea.
Erik Ten Hag's men now have a Europa League second leg to prepare for. Real Betis will probably provide a sterner test in Seville, but with a three goal lead the next order of business should be the quarter final draw.
We also add our tributes to those of the whole club and fanbase, to Ian Stirling, a legendary fan advocate and champion of many supporters' issues including safe standing and representation.

Here we go again... Ian Irving hosts the Monday podcast he thought we'd put behind us, debriefing a catastrophic defeat at Anfield with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell (who added calamity to disaster even after the final whistle).
So, what happened, and was it a one-off or will it leave a scar? We get into the details, plus a round-up of a couple of news stories, and Andy's fortuitous link to the next opponents, Real Betis. You make your own luck in this game...

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka are still coming down from the high of winning at Wembley, but we've already got another cup win to celebrate.
Alejandro Garnacho starred as Manchester United overcame a slow start to kick West Ham out of the FA Cup and, of course, they'll play at home in the next round. First, though, a trip to Anfield; why are Manchester United and Liverpool never good at the same time?

Erik Ten Hag made the right calls mid-match again as the team won despite Leicester's bright start. In a huge week of on-pitch matters, fans are split on who should take ownership of the club, and the manager made a direct appeal for vocal support at the Barcelona game on Thursday night.

Carl Anka takes the helm with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell joining him from the third tier of Camp Nou to digest a terrific first leg of the Europa League play-off tie between Manchester United and Barcelona.
Marcus Rashford starred again, flipping the game on its head with a great goal and possible an even better assist, and we think Erik Ten Hag will be the happier manager despite taking exception to some refereeing decisions.

Laurie Whitwell (and his cat, Ron) makes a podcast comeback with Ian Irving and Andy Mitten (and his dog).
Manchester United beat Leeds at the second time of asking with another goal from Marcus Rashford and one from the recently-criticised Alejandro Garnacho. It wasn't vintage football but it's a huge result, especially with so many rivals dropping points this weekend.
As we speak the team, and the fans, are Barcelona-bound for the the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Play-off. It's not the competition you'd expect, or want, to see that fixture in but it's a much higher quality contest than either side might have expected at the start of the season. We've got the juice on the ins and outs of that game, and the host city.

Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka assemble under the eaves at Old Trafford with The Athletic's new boy Mark Critchley.
It was a disappointing result, certainly, as visitors Leeds United caught Ten Hag's men cold, not once but twice! However, there was a warm glow in the air (and on Andy's face) after Marcus Rashford and the returning Jadon Sancho scored to salvage a draw.
On that evidence, the trip to Elland Road will prove a tough test, but we're hoping one or two of the seven first team players who missed tonight's game will be available.

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 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.

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.

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.

What a day! Just when you thought things might be a bit quieter with the World Cup fully underway in Qatar we get, not one United bombshell, but two huge stories.
First, news of Ronaldo's immediate release after the club and player reached a mutually exclusive agreement. Ordinarily, that would be the story of the month, but just a couple of hours later it became apparent that the Glazer family have instructed banks to seek out new investment avenues. Could that mean a sale? It certainly looks like it.

News broke late on Sunday that Cristiano Ronaldo has made accusations against senior figures at Manchester United in a dramatically timed interview with tabloid journalist Piers Morgan. It will dominate the headlines, no doubt about that, but many fans of the club may be suspicious of his 'revelations'.
The interview somewhat overshadowed Alejandro Garnacho's late winner at Fulham in United's last game before the mid-season World Cup break. We've been hyping up the young Argentinian's performances and he's looking more and more like a happy bonus for manager Erik Ten Hag.

Marcus Rashford's West Ham winner was his 100th goal for Manchester United and the landmark put him in reflective mood about his struggles last season and the change in "headspace" that has seen him return to form this term.
It wasn't always pretty but the team looked solid at the back; David de Gea made some heroic saves and the back four all had good games. United are now unbeaten in eight and looking forward to a potentially season-defining group decider in the Europa League.

A start and a goal for Ronaldo, early withdrawals for some key players, and a bright performance from young forward Alejandro Garnacho. It wasn't the most exciting game, but everything went right on the night; well, almost everything...
David de Gea's contract is up this summer and, while the club have an option to extend that deal for 12 months, Athletic writer Pol Ballus isn't sure they will. Another David; Moyes (NOT May), brings West Ham to Old Trafford on Sunday and the podcast team are confident of another good result.

Casemiro's last-gasp header showed the player's fierce desire has not waned after his transfer from Real Madrid, and it summed up the team spirit shown at Stamford Bridge. United had dominated the early part of the game, but having conceded to Jorginho's penalty with just minutes left, it feel like a "winning draw".
It all happened without Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, and his future will become clearer when the squad is announced for the Europa League fixture on Thursday. Better news on the club's third former Madrid player; after Raphael Varane reacted emotionally to his knee injury, it may not be as bad as feared.

Newcastle have one win from their last 40 visits to Old Trafford, but that statistic will bring little relief to fans frustrated by a scratchy Sunday stalemate. Ronaldo, Sancho, and Antony started but couldn't find the net, and Marcus Rashford missed a golden chance with a late header.
The last home win during the month of October was in 2019 and that wait could be extended with a strong Tottenham side visiting in midweek. No such problems for Manchester United's women who went top of the WSL with Ella Toone scoring twice in a comfortable victory over Brighton.

Manchester United put their derby despair behind them with a win at Goodison Park thanks to a goal from Antony and another from Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter's 700th in club competition.
Ronaldo's former Real Madrid teammate, Casemiro, provided the assist and it was an eventful evening for the Brazilian midfielder on his first Premier League start.

Manchester United beat Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus but not before, with his side 1-0 down, Erik Ten Hag made two half-time substitutions and demanded more running from his team.
Goals from Marcus Rashford (x 2) and Anthony Martial did give United the win but it was much closer than it should have been and Ten Hag has plenty of question marks going into a tough October schedule.

Instant reaction from Ian and Laurie at the Etihad Stadium, and Andy with the Chicago Reds, after another convincing win for City in the Manchester derby.
While the first half was miserable, and the result was never in doubt, this one didn't feel as bleak as some recent derby results. However, facing a depleted defence and no Rodri, it still threw up some serious questions for Ten Hag.

Recorded at The Walkers Stadium just after the transfer deadline passed, we reflect on what turned into an expensive window for the club as they backed the new manager, and consider the signs of encouragement in a sparky cameo from Ronaldo.
Most importantly, the team is starting to gel with combinations developing in different areas of the pitch. This looks like great news for Jadon Sancho, who followed up his goal vs Liverpool with tonight's winner.

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with regular contributor Andy Mitten and football writer Carl Anka.
It's been another madcap week in Manchester with a sizeable fee agreed for Antony from Erik Ten Hag's former club Ajax. With just three days to go before the transfer deadline, how much business is there still to come?
At least things are going a little better on the field. The manager left big names on the bench again as the team backed up the Liverpool win with three points at Southampton, ending a dismal run on the road.

Ian Irving hosts a special episode of The Athletic's Manchester United podcast from the Bishops Blaize pub. Joining him, in person, were Andy Mitten, Laurie Whitwell, and Carl Anka.
After Erik Ten Hag left Ronaldo out of the starting line-up for the stirring home win over Liverpool, the Portuguese superstar's future is no clearer. The panel consider his next move; will he leave the club?
Regardless of Ronaldo's departure, it looks like at least one more player will arrive before the transfer deadline. After the positive news of Casemiro's signing took everyone by surprise, the club's recruitment strategy is in the headlines again.

Coming to you from the bowels of Old Trafford immediately after Erik Ten Hag's side beat Liverpool to kickstart their season, we also discussed the huge protest march that dominated the build-up to the game.
And there was the small matter of a £70m signing from Real Madrid. Brazilian midfielder Casemiro fetched the second highest fee for a player over 30 but he is a serial winner and it sounds like he still means business.

There was breaking news on Wednesday night as Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe issued a statement outlining his desire to take a stake in the club. It's a story that will excite many fans with protests against the current ownership expected when Liverpool visit on Monday night, but is a it a serious prospect?
We also take a look at the ridiculous number of players being linked with United, not least Andy's scoop for The Athletic confirming that Chelsea's American winger Christian Pulisic is a loan target.

How bad were Manchester United at Brentford on Saturday? Nobody can remember a worse performance, and the stats suggest there hasn't been one in over a century of football. From De Gea to Ronaldo, the team looked no match for a Bees eleven that was assembled at a tenth of the cost.
So, can Erik Ten Hag turn this Jumbo jet around having just left the runway, and is the transfer strategy built around Frenkie de Jong as fragile as it seems?

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with regular contributor Andy Mitten and football writer Carl Anka.
It's been an, ahem, interesting week: the dust has settled on the opening-day home defeat to Brighton and unexpected transfer links have prompted new questions of the club's recruitment policy.
Will we see Ronaldo starting at Brentford? And what about McFred? Attracting Frenkie de Jong to Manchester looks as important as ever, but no closer to reality.

Any optimism from pre-season was dashed by defeat to Brighton, the visitors bringing back traumatic memories of recent years with their first ever win at Old Trafford.
The Frenkie de Jong deadlock shows no sign of breaking and, as The Athletic's David Ornstein broke news of potential moves for Adrien Rabiot and Marko Arnautovic, it's fair to say anxious fans aren't reassured by either prospect.

The R word was on everybody's lips this week as Cristiano Ronaldo appeared at Carrington, apparently to have talks with senior management about his future. Is it in the club's best interests to make sure he stays?
Meanwhile, Barcelona are spending more on players than Laurie does on Australian cocktails, but Frenkie de Jong doesn't fancy balancing their books for them by heading to Manchester.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the headlines after he failed to report for pre-season training amid rumours of a move to Chelsea. Would that be a bad thing for Manchester Utd? We're not so sure.
Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag and his squad will travel to Thailand later this week with new signing Tyrell Malacia, and perhaps Christian Eriksen as well. Andy and Laurie will be there, too, albeit via slightly different routes.

It looks very likely United will sign Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia after the club outbid Lyon for the Dutch international. Will Frenkie de Jong join his compatriot? We're running out of different phrases for a very slow-moving situation.
And, is this the year we finally turn the corner when it comes to selling players at the right time, adding funds to the transfer kitty? Maybe we should employ the malt-loaf marketing board...

A 4-0 defeat at Brighton may not have been the worst result of the season but it ensured the club's worst season since the inaugural Premier League. Have the horror shows damaged the club's reputation?
One consolation has been the performances of the academy and, with almost 60k expected at Old Trafford for the FA Youth Cup Final on Wednesday, we look at improvements made in that department.

Spurs and Arsenal both lost so a victory, even one over Norwich, was a huge result as the team reignited their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
But, there's a cloud hanging over United's support, and protests at Carrington during the week were followed by a significant gathering of fans who marched to the ground together chanting in opposition to the club's ownership.

One man who you can be pretty sure would welcome such an appointment is Donnie van der Beek; United head to his loan club Everton this week with the hosts' Premier League future very much at risk.
