Not for the first time Manchester United have proven they still have glimpses of class in the team - as shown by Bruno Fernandes in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

So how crucial is European qualification to Ruben Amorim's plans for an Old Trafford overhaul? Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Manchester United writer Laurie Whitwell and Phil Hay to discuss the Ruben Amorim 'project' at Old Trafford to date while Mark Critchley also drops in to explain the financial need to secure European qualification to help finance a summer overhaul of the playing squad.

The mood at Tottenham is pretty bleak right now. Defeat at home to Leicester was not what anyone was expecting. The fans are absolutely furious and understandably so. Jay Harris reports back for us. Laurie Whitwell was at the Manchester United game and he has our full sympathy for that. Jacob Tanswell tells us about a tired looking Aston Villa.

Manchester City host Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday and with just two points separating the sides this could be a key battle in the race for the top four. Pep Guardiola will be looking to get back on track after seeing his side throw away a two goal lead in the Champions League midweek, losing 4-2 to PSG at the Parc des Princes, with issues in midfield an ongoing problem. After already spending more than €140m in the January transfer window, do Manchester City need further additions? Following five Premier League games without a victory, Chelsea got back to winning ways on Monday beating Wolves 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, but how does Enzo Maresca get his forwards firing again? Plus we check in with the club podcasts across The Athletic FC and look ahead to a fixture that nobody would've predicted being quite so exciting when the season kicked off; Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest.

Finally, there's a smile on Ruben Amorim's face. He thought, as indeed we all did, that Man Utd had chucked away a perfectly good win with an entirely preventable mistake. He was wrong, Bruno Fernandes saved the day and poor old Ranger, depleted by injuries, went home empty handed. Laurie Whitwell was there. Spurs could so easily have done the same. They dominated the first half in Hoffenheim, fell away completely in the second and scrambled out with a crucial 3-2 win. Seb Stafford Bloor was watching. And if that's not enough, we also had Richard Sutcliffe at the much heralded Wrexham - Birmingham game.

With eight minutes to go at Old Trafford, the question of Manchester United's relegation was pertinent and appropriate. They were losing to a broken team with just six points on the board. And then Amad Diallo, again, saved United. Laurie Whitwell tries to make sense of an extraordinary night.  Elsewhere, Brighton won a league game for the first time since November 23, Ipswich don't look good though. We've got some Spurs reaction from Jack Pitt Brooke, we've got Seb Stafford Bloor on a highly prized young talent in Germany and we've got Manchester City news from David Ornstein     Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Laurie Whitwell, Jack Pitt Brooke, Seb Stafford Bloor and David Ornstein Producer: Tom Fuller Learn more about your ad choices.

Liverpool were supposed to give Manchester United the spanking of a lifetime, but they only escaped with a draw because a last gasp opportunity fell to Harry Maguire. What went wrong, we ask James Pearce, while pivoting skilfully to ask Laurie Whitwell what went right for United.  And seriously, what is the deal with Dani Olmo? Can he leave Barcelona for free now? We asked Pol Ballus who patiently explained…yes. Yes, he can.  We've got all the big scores and stories from around Europe, including a fine performance from Roma in the derby against Lazio and, as an avatar of our gently tweaked format, we ask Seb Stafford Bloor about this young goalkeeper that Spurs have just signed. Listen now (or later, we're not fussy, it's your life) and remember to follow, subscribe, review, rhapsodise or simply enjoy on your own terms.

Fifteen years ago, Bournemouth were in the fourth division, or League Two in the parlance of the youth. Now they're sixth in the Premier League and we're almost at the halfway stage. Out there somewhere is a kid who started supporting them in 2009 and that kid must think that life is always like this. I don't know whether to envy him or pity him. You can pity Lazio. They got done 6-0 at home by Internazionale. And you can pity Trabzonspor, who conceded a 98th minute winner to Galatasaray. Actually, Jose Mourinho will probably be more bothered by that one. We've also got the latest on Wolves and Southampton as they seek to find new managers. And we check in with the boys from the Talk of the Devils podcast as they look ahead to a very big cup tie this week.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Jacob Tanswell, Laurie Whitwell, Ian Irving, Carl Anka and David Ornstein Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim Ratcliffe sacked his Sporting Director Dan Ashworth after a pretty short term. It is not a hopeful moment for the new football system at United. We discuss what we know about how their football operations work and then move from there to talking about new manager Ruben Amorim, his system, and how the players are fitting together. Adam Crafton and Laurie Whitwell in The Athletic on Ashworth: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5978018/2024/12/08/dan-ashworth-manchester-united-exit-reasons/Support the show

Meanwhile, Andy Mitten published a lengthy and wide-ranging conversation with club minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.We also take time, as everyone at Old Trafford did before the defeat to Nottingham Forest, to share tributes to the club's longest-serving staff member (perhaps ever), the much-loved Kath Phipps.We just about found time to talk about some football, much of which wasn't great; but was it all that bad?

They're never dull, are they? But how much more of this are Tottenham's fans going to take? Spurs started brilliantly, but blew a two goal lead to lose 4-3 to Chelsea at home. Jack Pitt Brooke was there. That means that Chelsea are the nearest team to Liverpool, who didn't play this weekend, but still came out feeling that they'd won. Arsenal, you see, failed to beat Fulham. There's no shame in that, of course, Fulham are a very decent side these days. Jordan Campbell explains what went wrong.  And you might have thought that Manchester United's defeat at home to Nottingham Forest was the most embarrassing thing that could have happened to them. Nope, they saved that for Sunday morning. Laurie Whitwell tells us what happened.  We've got all the big scores from around Europe and we've got Paul Tenorio on LA Galaxy's triumph.

Erm…sorry about the whole Dr Tottingham stuff from Friday. I won't do that again. But who saw that coming, eh? City are spiralling and Liverpool are stretching clear at the top. James Pearce saw them win again. New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim made a fantastic start, it's just a shame for him that his players peaked after 81 seconds. Laurie Whitwell was there for us.  In Europe, Barcelona dropped points and Real Madrid closed the gap. Seb Stafford Bloor watched Bayer Leverkusen hit five past Heidenheim, but unfortunately for them, Harry Kane had already put three past Augsburg. We've got all the big scores from all the big leagues. Give us fifteen minutes of your time and we'll tell you everything you need to know. About the big leagues, that is.

Manchester United had a rare fun night at work on Wednesday, levelling Leicester City in an enjoyable 5-2 victory. Casemiro scored twice. Twice!

What's the latest on Manchester United's hunt for a new manager? Laurie Whitwell joins us with an update. Ruben Amorim is the man they want and they are in a hurry to get this done.  Southampton survived a bit of a scare against Stoke City, they're through to the last eight. Brentford needed penalties to beat Sheffield Wednesday. But they were brilliant penalties.  Napoli are top of Serie A, Dortmund are out of the DFB Pokal and we've got loads of other scores from around the world too.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Jay Harris, Laurie Whitwell Producer: Steve Hankey Learn more about your ad choices.

It's two steps forward and three steps back for Manchester United at the moment. The confidence boosting victory over Brentford seems a long time ago already after this disappointing draw away at former manager Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce. Laurie Whitwell was there.  No such issues for Tottenham, they've won three from three after a good win over AZ Alkmaar in London. Teenage sensation Mikey Moore impressed again, Jay Harris is here to tell us how good he is.  And Chelsea are dominating a competition in which it doesn't seem entirely fair that they get to play. They battered Panathinaikos 4-1 in front of Liam Twomey. Well, in front of lots of people really, but Liam was one of them. Plus, Roberto Mancini has left Saudi Arabia. I wonder where he'll end up next…  Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Laurie Whitwell, Jay Harris and Liam Twomey  Producer: Steve Hankey Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Manchester United resisted the temptation to immediately dismiss Erik Ten Hag after Sunday's humiliation, but he's heading into an extremely tough week and you wonder how much longer he can survive. Laurie Whitwell is our man on the ground at Old Trafford, he joins us with an update.   It was a tough night for Southampton boss Russell Martin. His team were taken apart in a brutal first half away at Bournemouth and you wonder how much patience there is at the club for his methods. This is a brittle football team, they collapsed when the first goal went in and could have conceded more. Alas, we no longer live in an age where ‘winning the second half' counts for anything.  And there's a lot of Champions League football coming up. Can you remember what happened a fortnight ago and what it all means? Nope, us neither. But we've made you a comprehensive briefing.  Need something to read? Everyone (including us) has been focusing on Man Utd being really bad, so why not spend some time reading about Tottenham being really good with Ahmed Walid's tactical breakdown? Need something to listen to? Well, in a similar mood, let us direct you to our Tottenham podcast, View From The Lane with the wonderful Danny Kelly Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Laurie Whitwell and Julien Laurens Producer: Abi Paterson Learn more about your ad choices.

Ian Irving, fresh from the stands at Old Trafford, holds court with Carl, Laurie Whitwell, and Mr Mitten as we cast judgement over another disappointing performance in Europe.FC Twente, despite a rich history (one which features Erik Ten Hag in three spells), have the lowest UEFA coefficient of any of United's opponent's in this season's Europa League. That didn't stop them fighting back to earn a point, though, as Sam Lammers levelled following a series of mistakes and weak challenges.Christian Eriksen was robbed of possession for the Dutch side's goal; a shame, as the night had been going pretty well for him. He celebrated his fourth consecutive start with a sharp strike from the edge of the box. Next up for Manchester United, Eriksen's old club Tottenham. Hosted on Acast.

The performance of Erik Ten Hag's side at Crystal Palace was, according to Laurie Whitwell, the most complete of his tenure. Yet, in order to be actually complete, the team need to put the ball in the net. Who's going to stick their hand up? Marcus Rashford might have been high on your list of names there, but he was named on the bench at Selhurst Park. Rotated, not dropped, and Alejandro Garnacho deserved his chance to start. Erik Ten Hag's boyhood team, FC Twente, will be the visitors in Wednesday's Europa League opener: it's a match that absolutely doesn't matter given the format of this year's competition. Yet, after the Palace result, this one does matter, and Andy says we should target this trophy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic joins Vicky Gomersall and The Mirror's Darren Lewis to reflect on the biggest talking points from the weekend's sporting action.   We start with Manchester United's goalless draw at Crystal Palace and the decision to start Marcus Rashford on the bench. Manager Erik ten Hag insisted it's “just rotation”, but what do our panel think?  They also discuss André Onana's incredible double save to deny Palace a certain goal.  Elsewhere, Darwin Nunez's brilliant strike helped Liverpool move to the top of the table with a win against Bournemouth, but are they genuine title contenders?  Plus, we hear an extended interview with Pep Guardiola – the Manchester City boss discusses the intensity of the football calendar, ahead of their match against Arsenal.
