#1004 | Ed and Tom look back on United’s 0-0 draw at Sunderland, the first goalless game of the season. Casemiro’s absence exposed how disjointed United look without him. With five mostly enforced changes, they discuss underwhelming displays from Mason Mount and Josh Zirkzee, limited attacking output from the full-backs, and United’s lack of physicality. Once again, Senne Lammens came to United’s rescue. What a signing he has been. 

With Champions League secured, and not much action on the pitch to talk about, the conversation turns to summer priorities - especially central midfield signings. Finally, there’s Forest next week to think about.
