After last week's unintended break, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait return to take a big-picture look at Manchester United by reviewing three away games at once: one win, one draw and one defeat. Avoiding the obvious narratives around the Newcastle defeat, they consider the problems and potential solutions for Erik ten Hag's spluttering Reds. Breaking up our big-picture discussion is Guess the Player, the Academy Briefing, some top MUFC trivia and a preview of Wednesday's game against...

Manchester United… the most in-form team in the Premier League... apparently! It doesn’t feel like it, but, somehow, that’s four league wins in five games for Erik ten Hag’s Reds. It was hardly convincing; United failing to convert some good chances again and going through another game without a forward scoring. Victor Lindelof was the unlikely match-winner in a one-goal home victory over Luton Town. Earlier in the week, we did see a forward score. And twice. Rasmus Hojlund continued to show...

A lifeline! Bruno Fernandes steps up for Manchester and the pressure eases after a truly demoralising week. Derby defeat preceded a dismantling at the hands of Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup and Old Trafford hasn’t felt quite as glum as that for many moons. Cue a trip to Fulham, often a useful antidote. And cue another late winner at Craven Cottage. Thank you very much! Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait react to a rare win for Erik ten Hag's United. But will it kickstart the season?...

Harry Robinson with a short episode here including some brief reaction to Tuesday's game.

All are welcome and it'd be great to see some of you there. Non-Manchester-based listeners, sorry for the slightly irrelevant short episode here. We'll be back to normal next week!

In this Patreon mailbag episode, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait talk themes such as: The future of MUFC as the Qatari bid to buy the club withdraws Will the injury time win against Brentford kick start United's season? How would we sum up the last 10 years at Old Trafford? What is the club's greatest achievement and worst moment in the last decade?

This is the sounds of MUFC with Harry Robinson on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast. It's Tuesday 26 September and United host Crystal Palace in the League Cup. With opinions and analysis interspersed throughout, this episode is more about the noise of matchday at Old Trafford, to take you into a place you've dreamed of going, or to remind of you of past visits. Something slightly different. I hope you enjoy it. (If you don't, feel free to skip it and we'll be back to our normal format...

Six points from a possible 15 (despite the slip of the tongue in the intro!) to start Manchester United’s season. 10 goals conceded in four games. These are two of the many stats that sum up the dire start to the 2023/24 campaign for Erik ten Hag’s team and once again we are left asking, is this a fair reflection of the team? And where the answer in previous games might have been no, perhaps this time, the answer is yes. Brighton & Hove Albion rode out the early dominance of United and...

It has become an all-too-familiar feeling walking out of the away end at the Emirates and across the bridge past those big Arsenal letters thinking ‘what could have been?’ ‘how close was that?’ and, really, more than anything, ‘for f**k sake’. For a second successive year, an Argentine celebrated with intensity and passion as United appeared en route to a famous victory. Last year, Lisandro Martinez’s brilliant header was made futile by a 90th-minute winner checked by VAR. This year,...

*Patrons get 25 minutes extra* Manchester United’s start to this season is confounding. Erik ten Hag’s Reds appear constantly on the edge of breakdown, and always close to defeat, too, and yet six points from the opening nine is a respectable beginning to any campaign. Old Trafford stood in shock as United conceded twice in four minutes against Nottingham Forest, but there remained a sense of confidence and defiance, and justified it proved for a 3-2 comeback victory followed. Further...
