#771 Ruben Amorim's Manchester United drew 1-1 at Ipswich with some very familiar problems coming to the fore. But with a new system unveiled and just two full training sessions completed with the full squad, some sense of discombobulation is to be expected. Ed and Wayne discuss Amorim's first game in charge and then look ahead to United's game against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.

#767 A one-all draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford, given the context over the past week isn't so bad, although interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooij will rue some poor finishing. That has been one of the major stories of the season. Once again United created chances, taking 11 shots but missed four 'big chances' as defined by Opta. It's a challenge that incoming Head Coach Ruben Amorim has to fix.Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to Thursday night's game against PAOK.

#766 Now that was some Ruud football. United thrash Leicester in the League Cup and Old Trafford loved it. For the first time in what feels like a lifetime, we enjoyed the football and could feel good about being United fans again. It's temporary and we can't read much into one game but Ed and Tom are feeling joyous about it anyway.

#764 Defeat to West Ham leaves Erik ten Hag on the brink once again. Yet, it was also a chaotic game in which United created a fistful of chances, gave up all momentum and lost because of one of the most ridiculous VAR penalty decisions you could ever see. Ed and Wayne try and largely fail to make any sense of it all.

#763 José Mourinho was sent off but it was the most chaotic moment of an otherwise low-quality game in the Europa League. United are up to *checks notes* 21st in the league. Top top top stuff Reds. It's one win in seven for Erik ten Hag's side. Ed and Tom talk about the good and bad from another trip to Turkey without a victory and then look ahead to West Ham at the weekend.

#762 Victory over Brentford and, in the second half at least, a decent performance from United. But once again Erik ten Hag's tactics come under question. Did it really take a sense of injustice to inspire this team, or did the manager make an important half-time adjustment? Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to United's trip to Turkey in the Europa League.

Wayne has a new book out in the spring looking at that perpetual topic of debate: Manchester United’s identity. The new book “Football Taught By Matt Busby” contains newly unearthed images of Sir Matt Busby as well as interviews with Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, and other key figures in Manchester United’s history. How did United become the global behemoth it is? And how and why did Busby take the club to the summit of the game – and build an empire that lasted for decades? Ed and Wayne talked about the premise behind the book and how themes of identity and flowed through managers from Busby onwards.

#758 Another home game in the Premier League, another hammering. It's not looking good for Erik ten Hag. United were shambolic from the start against an energetic Spurs side. Bruno's red card didn't help, but the game felt lost long before the dismissal. Now United must pick up again. Ed and Dan ask how it came to this and look ahead to the Europa League fixtures against Porto on Thursday.
