  • E16: Man Utd 0 Man City 0 EPL post-match reaction

    Manchester United opted for safety after giving up three first-half goals to RB Leipzig and rebounded with a 0-0 draw in the Manchester derby. It was a game of few chances and City had the better of them, but Karl and Vivek were impressed with the professionalism and discipline across the pitch to negate City's attacking threat.

    Cantona Collar: Harry Maguire. Beckham Boot: Marcus Rashford. Noisy Neighbour: Kevin de Bruyne.

  • E15: RB Leipzig 3 Man Utd 2 UCL post-match reaction

    Hello darkness. Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage thanks to an embarrassing first half performance defensively. Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba led an inspired fightback in the second half after trailing 3-0 but it was all too little too late. Vivek and Karl discuss Solskjaer's decision to go three at the back, playing Luke Shaw after an extended absence with injury, and look back on the Champions League campaign as a whole.

  • E14: West Ham 1 Man Utd 3 EPL post-match reaction

    It was looking like two steps forward, two steps back for United after a shambolic first half display but Bruno Fernandes' introduction sparked a revival and Pogba's golazo started a brilliant comeback for the Red Devils. Karl and Vivek look back on a terrible start for Pogba despite the goal, Bruno's ability to change games and Wan-Bissaka having his strongest performance in a little while.

  • E13: Man Utd 1 PSG 3 UCL post-match reaction

    Manchester United seemed to have it all under control and perhaps that's when they got a bit too naive. Vivek and Karl scrutinize Solskjaer's failure to substitute Fred before he was sent off for a second yellow and Martial's rubbish finishing. On the positive side, Rashford was the star once again against PSG while Harry Maguire was excellent in central defence as well.

    Beckham Boot: Anthony Martial. Cantona Collar: Marcus Rashford. Longstaff Longshot: Marquinhos.

  • E12: Southampton 2 Man Utd 3 EPL post-match reaction

    Edinson Cavani!!! A true super-sub performance that his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be proud of. Karl and Vivek talk about United playing well and being undeserving of their 2-0 halftime deficit despite the poor finishing, how the team turned it around, and look ahead to the PSG game. Some thoughts on the great Diego Maradona as well. RIP.

  • E11: Man Utd 4 Istanbul 1 UCL post-match reaction

    Bruno Fernandes was once again the star of the show but the three new faces Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Donny van de Beek made excellent starts as they all lined up together for the first time. Karl Mascarenhas and Vivek Jacob break down their performances while also looking at United's defence being a little too soft at times, Axel Tuanzebe failing to grasp an opportunity, and another timid performance from Anthony Martial.

  • E10: Man Utd 1 WBA 0 EPL post-match reaction

    United finally pick up three league points at home but it wasn't the performance that will have their fans puffing their chest out. Karl Mascarenhas and Vivek Jacob try to understand the need for two central defensive midfielders against a team playing nine men behind the ball, why Juan Mata continues to play as a winger, and debate Anthony Martial's finishing. Was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sending a message to Paul Pogba by not including him in the squad? Listen to find out!

  • E9: Expectations, Pogba drama, and international break frustration

    Vivek Jacob and Karl Mascarenhas are joined by friend and second-generation Manchester United fan Subby Sandhar to review the season thus far as well as set expectations going forward. After Paul Pogba's comments regarding France's camp being "a breath of fresh air," both Vivek and Subby are ready to see him move on and discuss why, while Karl goes off on the stupidity of playing international friendlies during a global pandemic.

  • E8: Everton 1 Man Utd 3 EPL post-match reaction
