#724 | United get hammered at the Palace as the season winds towards its inevitable, miserable, mid-table finish. United were even worse than expected in south London, and very little faith was held in Erik ten Hag's team prior to the game. The Dutchman has talked an aggressive game in recent weeks. One win in seven says more than the soon-to-be-departed manager ever can. Ed & Dan digest another m...

#723 | Antony scores a fine goal and United chuck away a lead against lowly opposition. Same, not same at Old Trafford. On this evidence, United's season cannot come to an end soon enough.

Ed & Wayne discuss.  00:00 Introduction 15:00 Disappointing Performance and Lack of Control 28:00 Lack of Clarity and Consist...

If you are interested in supporting the show and acces...

#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.

For backers - can United actually beat City in...

Ed & Wayne review an error-strewn performance in London, try and set the game in a w...

#715 | United left Brentford with a point, probably should have taken all three after scoring late, but deserved absolutely nothing after another abject performance.

#710 United beat Everton at Old Trafford to (just about) stay in the hunt for a Champions League place following two penalties from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

#706 United lose at home to Fulham and despite many lows this season, this was one of the most dispiriting defeats. Has Erik ten Hag learned nothing from 15 defeats in all competitions this season?

#704 Victory over Luton followed a now familiar pattern, with Erik ten Hag's side unable to produce a controlled performance despite scoring twice in the opening minutes.
