#1004 | Ed and Tom look back on United's 0-0 draw at Sunderland, the first goalless game of the season. Casemiro's absence exposed how disjointed United look without him.

Once again, Senne Lammens came to United's rescue.

#1002 | Ed, Dharnish and Daniel react to United's 3–2 win over Liverpool and debate whether “underlying metrics” matter without context? United are succeeding on fine margins with elite attackers and reduced chances conceded under Michael Carrick. They break down Carrick's approach: bypassing the opposition press, sitting compact in a mid-block, and attacking quickly in transition. With Champions League secured and Carrick seen as favourite for the job, we discuss how his football might evolve toward more control while keeping his tactical flexibility. The focus turns to summer recruitment, especially finding the right midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo, with quick-fire takes on targets like Wharton, Anderson, Baleba, Tchouaméni and Mateo Fernandez. 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Are the Underlying Metrics Bad? 04:38 Third Next Season - Acceptable? 08:31 Liverpool Match Analysis 10:20 Carrick's Game Model 13:52 How Does Carrick Evolve the Team? 22:53 Transfer Targets and Midfield Profiles 26:00 Rapid Fire Transfer Round If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Manchester United have had an undoubtedly successful season, qualifying for the Champions League with underlying numbers perfectly in line with that position. But their results shifted markedly when they sacked Ruben Amorim and brought in Michael Carrick. Was this a major driver of their results or a mirage of finishing?We discuss the real tactical changes under Carrick and how they show up in the numbers, why Kobbie Mainoo is the key player in this tactical shift, some notable differences in how the team approaches game state, and nonetheless how there is clearly just a ton of variance going on here. Support the show

Manchester City might have thrown their chance at winning the Premier League away after drawing at Everton on Monday night to allow Arsenal to go five points clear. Arsenal now just need three more wins to claim their first league title in over 20 years and have Mark Guehi to thank after his awful pass allowed Everton to get back into a match City were comfortable in. Elsewhere this weekend, Man United confirmed Champions League qualification with a win over arch-rivals Liverpool, with Kobbie Mainoo scoring the winner on the week he signed a new long-term contract.

#1001 |  Ed and Daniel enjoy United's 3–2 win over Liverpool. United's strong first half that could have produced four; Liverpool almost snatched an improbable draw, only for a fine finish from Kobbie Mainoo to win the game. It's the first time for a decade United secured a Premier League double over Liverpool - and the win officially secured Champions League football next season. In truth United were always likely to find enough against a ponderous Liverpool team but a couple of individual errors allowed them back into the game. With just three games to go, the conversation inevitably turns to the managerial situation and summer transfer market. 10 wins in 14 puts Carrick in pole position, but does Mainoo's impressive performances change the calculation in the market? 00:00 Intro and Match Reaction 08:40 The First Half 15:01 Sesko and the Attack 15:38 Midfield Performances and Summer Needs 23:11 The Second Half 37:46 Is Carrick Getting The Job? 45:55 Liverpool Tactics 48:39 Sunderland Preview, Fergie Illness If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Fresh from another victory over rivals Liverpool, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to discuss the performance of midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, the reasons people still don't back Michael Carrick for the job and the way fans responded to Manchester United winning at Old Trafford.Rio and Ste drill down into what has changed in Kobbie Mainoo's game since the departure of Ruben Amorim and the role that Carrick has played in that.Another young English player made a huge impact on Arsenal's midfield at the weekend which leads Rio to say he's “baffled” by the lack of opportunities that Myles Lewis-Skelly has been given this season.And then the trio spin the Carrick narrative on its head - instead of focusing on the things he's not done or achieved as a manager - they detail all of the things that he has dealt with that doesn't get enough credit.Plus, Rio fills the lads in on the latest about his spat with former England team mate Jamie Carragher.

Arsenal stretch their lead to six points at the top of the Premier League with one of their most complete performances of the season. Is this the momentum Mikel Arteta needs as his side push for both domestic and European glory? At the other end, Spurs climb out of the relegation zone after a crucial win over Aston Villa.

This is Paul Pogba like you've never seen him before.In one of his most open and honest conversations, Pogba sits down with Rio Ferdinand to talk through the moments that defined his career and the personal struggles that shaped the person behind the player.From growing up at Manchester United's academy alongside (and fighting) Ravel Morrison, to learning from legends like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Rio himself, Pogba reveals what it really took to survive in one of football's most demanding environments - and why he felt he had to leave when he did.He opens up on the reality of his second spell at Manchester United, the pressure of his world-record transfer fee, the lack of clarity or plan for his role in the team, and why he believes the environment at the club made it difficult to succeed.Pogba reveals that he did not know who Graeme Souness was until Rio gave him some detail on his career and achievements within the game which prompts a fascinating discussion about how he felt the media misunderstood him.But this conversation goes far deeper than football.Pogba speaks candidly about family issues, betrayal, and the emotional toll it took on him and those closest to him - including the impact it had on his mother. He also reflects on his time away from the game, the challenges of being out of football, and what it's been like watching from the sidelines with his children asking when he'll return.There are also powerful insights into his career highs — winning the World Cup with France, his relationship with stars such as Kylian Mbappé and how players like Andrea Pirlo, N'Golo Kanté and Antonio Conte helped elevate his game to another level.Plus:Why consistency of position is everything at the elite levelHis honest thoughts on Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay and modern midfield rolesThe truth about his relationship with José MourinhoAnd why he will never change who he isThis is a rare, unfiltered look at one of football's most talked-about players - in his own words.

#996 | Ten points clear of Chelsea with five games left. A gritty, utterly necessary win at Stamford Bridge. United's return to the Champions League is no longer a question of whether, but when. Dan and Dharnish unpack all you need to know. With Martínez and Maguire suspended, Carrick turned to an Ayden Heaven and Noussair Mazraoui as the centre-back pairing. In front of them, Kobbie Mainoo delivered the standout performance of the afternoon alongside Casemiro, whose is giving us quite the farewell tour Carrick has imposed a more compact press and restored a mentality that had gone missing. Control in games remains the next hurdle, but the case for giving him the job permanently, barring a genuinely elite alternative, is getting harder to argue against. There's also plenty to think about in the summer - United's imperfect front three, Amad's end-product problem, and the summer recruitment required across defence, midfield and on the wing.

From NQAT Extra. Rebroadcasting for everyone given that Harry Maguire has signed a new contract and Mainoo's new deal is very close! --- Ed and Dominic discuss reports that Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are close to signing new contracts. It's an important step both for squad depth ahead of likely European football and a heavier schedule, and in retaining key local talent. Maguire will stay on a shorter, lower-value deal - a sensible move given injuries across United's centre-backs, his reliability, experience, and suitability as a squad option. For Mainoo, his low wages are an issue, as is his strong leverage due to United's thin midfield and planned departures. The club needs to fix its wage structure while keeping a key academy figure. More broadly, United's financial and squad-building strategy under Ratcliffe and concerns about readiness for a 60-game season are discussed. 00:00 Introduction 00:55 Harry Maguire's New Contract 01:46 Maguire's Character 04:38 The 2019 Transfer Market Context 06:15 Maguire Under Different Managers 12:45 Kobbie Mainoo's Contract Situation 20:08 United's Financial Strategy 28:46 Looking Ahead If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, we break down the "ice-cold" composure that allowed a teenager to net a winner in the FA Cup Final and anchor the England engine room at Euro 2024. We analyze the stats behind his 4.8 progressive passes per 90 minutes and explore how his unique blend of tactical intelligence and press-resistance has made him indispensable at Old Trafford.

Ted and Patrick break down the transfer decisions that will define the Premier League summer. They start with Tottenham and ask whether hiring Roberto De Zerbi with a squad full of players who can't pass is a recipe for relegation. Then it's the big one: with Pep Guardiola likely heading for the exit, Man City and Man United are both targeting the same midfielders, and Ted and Patrick argue City should move first and move hard for Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson. They also dig into Bruno Fernandes' contract situation at United, Arsenal's left-wing addiction and striker question, a brief look at what Liverpool face post-Salah, and whether Eddie Howe has one last chance to get Newcastle right.

#979 | Ed and Dan look back on  United's 1–0 win at Everton. It was functional rather than convincing but a vital three points as United close in on a return to the Champions League. There's plenty of praise for another excellent Senne Lammens performance in goal under heavy pressure from Everton's agricultural set-piece routines. When, if ever, are referees going to protect goalkeepers who are now routinely fouled? It's all Mikel Arteta's fault. Despite the victory, was this another case of United struggling to break down a low-block until Benjamin Sesko's entrance on the hour? The striker now has six goals in his past seven appearances but should he have been on from the start? United will face another team willing to sit deep at the weekend, with struggling Palace at Old Trafford. Surely time to change it up in attack. 00:00 Introduction 01:46 Senne Lammens' performance 06:23 Sesko's Goal, Squad Rotation 10:01 Set Pieces 18:06 Kobbie Mainoo and Midfield Control 23:51 Squad Depth and Youth Players 33:43 Spurs Relegation Battle 38:24 Women's Team 40:31 Crystal Palace If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

In the meantime they enjoy United Women's 5–0 aggregate win over Atlético Madrid to reach the Women's Champions League quarterfinals. It's been a strong performance from the team so far this season despite the often critical reception to manager Marc Skinner. There's a deep-dive on United's strategy behind revamping midfield in the summer - Anderson, Wharton, Baleba, Tonali … somebody else? That group will include Kobbie Mainoo, with reports this week that negotiations over a new contract are underway now that he is back in the first team under Michael Carrick.

He also reveals what leadership looks like amongst the dressing room after the demands of Ruben Amorim changed the dynamic and discipline within the squad. Hosted on Acast.

#975 | Ed and Dharnish discuss United's 1-1 draw with West Ham. It's the first draw of the Michael Carrick era - second act - and Nuno's low-block caused plenty of challenges. Why were United so flat? Was it tiredness after a second game in three days or just too many players off their game? There's plenty of talk about Casemiro's role and how United might replace him, another strong Kobbie Mainoo performance, and an outstanding goal from substitute Benjamin Sesko. Could the Slovenian have started this one given West Ham's tactics? 00:00 Introduction  00:57 March Breakdown 03:50 Carrick's Strategy 09:55 Defensive Concerns 16:47 Casemiro's Role 22:46 Analyzing Player Performances 24:48 Transfer Market 29:34 Match Against Everton 37:42 Concluding Thoughts  If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Rio comes in HOT after another statement victory for Manchester United, following up a win over Manchester City with victory at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. With a huge improvement in form and positivity around the club since sacking Ruben Amorim, the conversation quickly turns to why Michael Carrick should not be judged through the same lens as Ole Gunnar Solskjær.From Arsenal supporters' growing tension to Arteta's obsession with control, the lack of freedom for Bukayo Saka and whether this really is a “now or never” moment — this episode pulls no punches on the Gunner's race for the title.Rio compares Arteta's Arsenal to Klopp's Liverpool and Mourinho's Chelsea, arguing this isn't about tactics — it's about personality, leadership, and dressing-room energy. He then focuses on why Saka, in particular, needs reminding of the basics — discussing the need for freedom over fear.There's also a comparison to what Ruben Amorim did with the same players which contrasts with how Michael Carrick is getting them to perform - Ste and Rio come up with and investigate those differences - paying particular attention to Patrick Dorgu, Kobbie Mainoo and Diogo Dalot Hosted on Acast.

#944 | Ed and Dan break down United's 4-1 win at Molineux – a result shaped as much by Wolves' collapse as United's competence.
