No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast

#800 | United produced a great backs-against-the-wall performance to beat Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup. Ruben Amorim's side scored a fine breakaway goal to lead before Arsenal's Andy Madley produced one of the more bizarre refereeing performances of the season, finding a reason to send off the careless Diogo Dalot before awarding one of the more ridiculous penalties you'll see. Altay Bayindi...

#799 | Arsenal v Manchester United in the FA Cup - one of the classic fixtures of the genre. It's the 16th time the two teams have met in the FA Cup, with United winning eight, although there have been a few painful defeats along the way. Ed and Adam preview the game at the Emirates where 8,000 United fans (1,000 fewer tickets than should have been allocated by the tight-fisted North Londoners) wi...

#798 | We’re at the halfway stage of the season and, well, it’s been pretty shit to date. Ed and Dan take a look at the squad, assessing how everybody has done so far, where United might look to evolve the squad this winter (or more likely in the summer) and what the second half of the campaign might bring.

#797 | Manuel Ugarte put in his best performance of his short time at Manchester United against Liverpool last Sunday. Ed and Dominic talk about the Uruguayan's impact at United and the ongoing discussion about Ruben Amorim's midfield options.

#796 | United pick up a creditable draw at Anfield where the team's spirit, resilience and organisation came to the fore. It begs the obvious question: why don't we see this every week? Ed and Wayne praise United's performance, pick apart the mistakes and bemoan a late Harry Maguire missed chance. Enjoy!

#795 | Liverpool v Manchester United. The biggest game in English football. Hated rivals. 19 v 20 league titles. The benchmark for success. Except that this time United head into the game as huge underdogs. Injuries, poor form, a system that doesn’t suit the squad, Liverpool winning every game. And with United starting one inevitable Michael Oliver pen and/or red card down, could it be one of our...

#794 | Ruben Amorim has mentioned the R word. So are United really in a relegation battle this season with the team starting the year in 14th place. Ed and Isabel discuss the latest, talk about the financial implications and speculate about transfer window moves.

#793 | Comprehensively beaten by Newcastle at Old Trafford and it wasn't even really close. Ed and Paul discuss United's defeat, the ongoing challenges at the club, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's wrong-ness and where United go after this.

#792 | United are both a shockingly poor football team and desperately unlucky - Schrödinger's football team. Very little is going right at the club after the team suffered a fifth defeat under new Head Coach Ruben Amorim. Ed and Wayne try to unpick what happened at Wolves on Thursday night after Bruno Fernandes' red card and yet another goal conceded direct from a corner contributed to a 2-0 defe...

#791 | It is one year since Sir Jim Ratcliffe, through his Trawlers Ltd company and INEOS Sport group, purchased just over 25% of Manchester United, later upped to over 28%. In that there has been a significant amount of change at the club. Not all of it has gone down well with the fans. Ed and Wayne review a year of disruption at the club. If you are interested in supporting the show and accessin...

#790 | Thrashed by Bournemouth yet again. WTAF is going on? Unlike the midweek defeat at Spurs, there was very little redeeming about this performance in which missed chances and defensive mistakes were scattered throughout. Ed and guest co-host Adam commiserate and then look forward to United's Boxing Day game at Wolves. If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus e...

#789 | Are you not entertained? United are out of the League Cup after a chaotic game at Spurs in which Ruben Amorim's side gifted the hosts three goals. Ed and Wayne look back on an eventful night and aren't too disappointed despite exiting the competition. Then there's a conversation about United's home match against Bournemouth at the weekend. If you are interested in supporting the show and ac...

#788 | United face Tottenham in the League Cup on Thursday, with a place in the semi-finals at stake. With the drama over Marcus Rashford's future in the background, Ed and Isabel look forward to some actual football at the imaginatively-named Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

#787 | A lot has happened over the past couple of days when it comes to Marcus Rashford. First, the forward was left out of Ruben Amorim's squad to play Manchester City at the weekend. Then the club briefed Jamie Jackson, on Monday, that Rashford is up for sale. On Tuesday, Rashford spoke to Henry Winter about his readiness for "a new challenge." Ed and Tom discuss the latest, in a fast-moving sto...

#786 | Ed and Dan review derby victory and then look ahead to United's EFL Cup quarter-final away to Spurs on Thursday night. Victory over City came in the final minute of normal time. Could it get any better than this? This was no classic derby, with both teams struggling to find any kind of consistent form this season. But Rumen Amorim's plan to keep City at arms length worked, even if United cr...

#785 | United beat Viktoria Plzeň eventually but not before an hour of some of the dullest football you've ever seen had passed. It was a disjointed United side unable to fashion good chances from lots of possession, going away yet another comical goal. And then came all the substitutions on the hour mark and a spectacular turnaround. Ed and Tom discuss victory in the Europa League and then look f...

#784 | Manchester City have lost 7 of their last 10 games in all competitions. It bodes well ahead of Sunday's derby at the Etihad. Right? RIGHT? Ed and Adam discuss the tactical, squad and player issues eating at Pep Guardiola's side.

#783 | United face Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday in a critical Europa League fixture, with Ruben Amorim’s team realistically needing at least two wins from the final three games to avoid a play-off. Plzen, or in English vernacular, Pilsner, is the home of the world famous beer and there will be more than a few Reds sampling the local brews on this trip. Away from the beer, Ed and Adam assess United’s...

#782 | Three former Manchester United players retired this week - Rafael, Fabio and Nani. With more than 450 games for the club between them and countless trophies, each added much to United's modern history. Nani ended his career at Estrela da Amadora, Fabio at Gremio and Rafael at Botafogo. Ed and Wayne discuss their impact. If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bo...

#781 | Dan Ashworth was fired by Manchester United on Saturday and the story keeps on rolling. Ed and Wayne discuss the latest on the continuing drama at Old Trafford. Why was Ashworth fired, what does it say about the club's decision-making and what happens next?

#780 | United were beaten by Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday but it turns out a second defeat in a row isn't the big story of the weekend. On Sunday it was reported by The Athletic that Dan Ashworth has parted company with the club after just five months as Sporting Director. What went wrong for the executive for whom United paid £2m to Newcastle to secure? Why was he apparently fire...

#779 | United face a (sort of) resurgent Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Can the Ruben Amorim's side get back to winning ways after defeat at Arsenal? And What weapons do Forest have that could cause United trouble? Ed and Tom look forward to Saturday evening's game.

#778 | Luke Shaw is injured again and missed United's defeat at Arsenal this week; Leny Yoro made his competitive debut for the club in the same game. Contrasting injury fortunes and a passing of the baton from a player who may well leave the club this summer to one who is very much the future. Ed and Isabel discuss. If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episod...

#777 | We saw it coming. Arsenal have been exceptional at capitalising on set pieces this season, consistently creating chances to win free kicks and corners. United ultimately conceded 13 corners, with two leading to goals for Mikel 'Pulis' Arteta's side. While United’s structure largely held firm, limiting Arsenal's threat from open play, their own attack lacked any real menace. Ed and Wayne bre...

#776 | United face Arsenal at the Emirates in Ruben Amorim's first game against one of the Premier League's better teams. With away fixtures against Liverpool, City and Spurs to come before December is out, we're going to find out a lot about United's progress before the new year. Ed and Adam preview the game and try and guess what the team and strategy might entail. If you are interested in suppo...
