#729 | A famous victory over Manchester City at Wembley. Manager Erik ten Hag has been vociferously criticised this season. Any United manager whose team had finished eighth in the Premier League and been dumped out of Europe early would face deep scrutiny. But in the week a major media outlet claimed Ten Hag is toast at United, the Dutchman found a formula to beat Pep Guardiola's financially-doped blues. What a day. What a victory. After so much angst this season, United ended the campaign...

#724 | United get hammered at the Palace as the season winds towards its inevitable, miserable, mid-table finish.

#721 | United beat Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final, but after surrendering a three-goal lead against a Championship team, it feels like a deeply hollow victory.
