Red Devil Rants: A Manchester United Podcast

In this episode, we tackle the debate: what’s harder in football, scoring or defending? We also delve into Manchester United’s struggles, questioning their inability to win more than two consecutive games and analysing their pressing issues and squad depth concerns. We review the Rangers and Fulham games, highlighting key moments and standout performances. Additionally, we discuss Lisandro Martíne...

Two games in one week, one a miserable loss, the other a miserable win, can it get much worse for United? This week we’re asking how long will our turnaround take and is this actually the worst United team in history? We’ll also look ahead to Rangers and Fulham and discuss whether players should keep their wages low so they don’t price themselves out of future moves (we’re looking at you, you robo...

Fresh off a strong performance against Liverpool, Manchester United brought the fight to Arsenal in a thrilling 4th-round FA Cup clash at the Emirates. In a match that demanded grit, resilience, and a bit of luck, United prevailed in a nail-biting penalty shootout. Here's what we dive into in this episode: United fans relive the classic rivalry with Arsenal, exploring why this team always brings o...

In this episode, we break down United's impressive performance against Liverpool and analyze whether this marks a genuine turning point or yet another false dawn for the team. We also explore whether the improvement stemmed from a tactical system change or the benefit of additional training time. Tune in for our in-depth discussion!

In this episode, we're diving deep into the turbulent times at Manchester United. We explore the club's current crisis, what should Amorim do next? Can the youngsters help? Should we be saying the "R" word? Then we review a year of INEOS; looking at their cost-cutting initiatives and their controversial revenue-boosting plan for post-season friendlies

Two defeats in four days for the Red Devils; one a valiant fightback against Spurs the other a toothless Old Trafford display against Bournemouth. Is this defeat on Amorim? Should Rashford be brought back into the fold? Would Ugarte pull a Fred when he's on a yellow?! Also we talk players not backing Bayindir and...what's going on with Pogba's brother?

In this episode, we delve into some of the hottest topics from the world of Manchester United. From leaked team sheets to standout performances, we explore the narratives shaping the game right now. Who's leaking team sheets? Dropping Garnacho and Rashford only work because United won? Is Rashford underrated compared to Grealish and Foden? How good is Amad really? And what's fueling Højlund's fier...

Back to back losses against Arsenal and Forest have truly put the brakes on the Amorim feel good train. And if that's not bad enough Dan Ashworth's departure leaves us wondering if INEOS really are the saviours we thought they were? Plus should Chido Obi-Martin get some minutes up front? And was the team's decision not to show support for the LGBTQ committee the right one?

This week we're celebrating the 4-0 win over Everton; is Rashford back? is Onana the best keeper in the league? Is Diallo really a right wingback? Then we take a look at Ruud's Leicester appointment and Rooney's sacking. Why can't the best players coach at the top level?

Ruben Amorim’s new era got off to a flat start as United could only draw against Ipswich. Can we really judge anything from just one game? We look at performance’s all over the pitch; was Rashford any good? Does Diallo fit at wingback? When will people put respect on Onana’s name? We also take a look and Bruno and Amorim’s recent interviews, should United be cutting back on media engagements? Of c...

To three or not to three? This week we look ahead to Ruben Amorim's first game as United manager, and try to guess his starting line up. Should he go three at the back or is it too early, and who makes his first starting Eleven?

A routine win when things haven't been routine all season isn't a bad thing! After the Leicester game we ask; has Diallo locked down that right wing? Is Ugarte growing into the team? Is Bruno back to his best? Then we run the rule over the squad and who Amorim might want to get rid of in a round of "Keep or Sell"

Not sure whether it's business as usual or an improvement this week as we smash Leicester then produce nothing against Chelsea. How do the players get their confidence back? And what should we think of Garnacho? Boy Wonder or incomplete player? Elsewhere, United force Ruben Amorim's hand, does Fernandes' apology to Ten Hag even matter and what happens to Ruud?

Less than a day after we recorded this week’s pod, Erik Ten Hag’s sacking was announced, followed swiftly by the news of Ruben Amorim being brought in as his replacement so we had to pull out a quick bonus episode just for you! We’re going over the Ten Hag Era, looking at the highs, the lows and why it ultimately didn’t work out, whilst looking ahead to Amorim and what we think the future holds......

We go over the shocking 2-1 defeat to West Ham. Dodgy finishing, dodgy penalty decisions and now Ten Hag is on Dodgy Ground! Plus, should a foul after an offside count as a yellow? And why can't Man United afford easyJet?

We’re back on the back of a win…we’re double back! This week we talk Hojlund out-Zirkzeeing Zirkzee, whether this result can kickstart the rest of the season and weird player head shapes! Plus, is Bruno’s erratic passing all his own fault, and were United right in stopping Sir Alex’s wages and banning board members from the dressing room?

No game while the international break is on, so we chop it up on a couple of topics to tide us over til Saturday’s kick-off! First, we dig into the Benni McCarthy interview, what does he say about Ten Hag behind the scenes? Then we wonder: who doesn’t fit into the system? Then it’s onto the rumours Wenger almost took over in 2002 and we wonder if could Fergie do anything with this United Team? The...

Confusion reigns as we go over the bore draw with Aston Villa. Was it a good game? Is a draw away at Villa a result? What about Ten Hag's decisions? Plus...what would YOU do if you were in INEOS' (probably expensive) shoes?

After an embarrassing defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, we argue over where we go next, and who should take us there. Once we get that out of our system, we ask the question "who's developed more Amad and Garnacho?" and "How many more games does Ten Hag really have?"

This week we're dissecting the draw against Crystal Palace. Is our defence better? Did Ten Hag get his selection right, and what's happening with Bruno? We're also looking at United's lack of goalscoring, is it tactics or players? Then we look ahead to the game against Tottenham, do Spurs have a better attack than us or are they flattering to deceive? This week's rant: Why is the match being repor...

It’s a happy return from the Int’l break as we mull over the win against Southampton, a good match? Easy opposition? Or a little of both? Alongside rants about Testimonial match reporting, and the many failings of MOTD we also get into it over how important goal difference is and whether a manager can admit his team can’t win the league.

No football worth talking about this week so this week we're discussing new cup formats, whether it's better to get easy draws or play the best, and whether our lack of goals is down to tactics or player problems...what do you think

Following the horrendous loss to Liverpool, we wallow in our misery and argue whether it's too soon to to be asking questions about Ten Hag's tactics and future? But that's not all, there's plenty of other questions to ask as well; should we have kept Sancho? Should we have taken Sterling? Plus, we'll rate United's busiest transfer window in recent history and, in the wake of McTominay's exit we r...

This week we lament the loss to Brighton, was it down to the team or just individual errors? We also talk what we would change for the lineup against Liverpool, trading Sancho for Sterling and whether or not buyback clauses for players are worth it?

The Premier League is back and United first match ends in a 1-0 victory against Fulham. We’re looking at the ins and outs of the game; how did our debutants do? Is Casemiro back to his best? Who’s to blame for missing that open goal? And we’ll be ranting on misquoting Ten Hag, what we think will happen to City and…did ETH snub Sancho on the sideline?
