  • #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 on a massive high. Ed & Dan celebrate.

  • #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.

  • #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.
