Three goals and three points on the road for Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United alleviates fast-building pressure at the first possible opportunity after the international break. Was that a truly impressive performance or just a slight improvement on what came before, or was it even the same as previously seen, only again a lesser opposition? That’s the key big-picture question to answer on the latest episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, as well as discussing the individual performances of goalscorer Marcus Rashford and goalmakers Joshua Zirkzee and Amad.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait chat through all of those things and much more, including a five-star victory for the U18s and questions from our ever-supportive Patrons. Plus, we play Guess the Player and our man on the ground Ivan attends the United Legends match to chat to Anders Lindegaard, Phil Bardsley and Danny Simpson.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait react to Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, debating Erik ten Hag's future, and that of midfielder Casemiro.

This game was previewed as the clashing of a new Dutch force in English football, Arne Slot of Liverpool, against a stalling one, one that’s hinted at getting going but never ridden smoothly. Erik ten Hag’s United project, given a lifeline with that magical May day at Wembley when the FA Cup carried the scarlet ribbons of MUFC, is under the most intense scrutiny again. Because this was all too familiar: an open midfield, a blunt attack, a humiliating defeat to a rival. There’s plenty to dissect.

As well as talking Liverpool, they'll compete at Guess the Player, give you an extensive Academy Briefing with a new coach, contract, signing and several loan moves to tell you about and wins for the U18s and U21s and we’ll answer questions from our Patrons in a 15-minute bonus section for them.
