Nathan Irvine and Mr Paul Cropper are back to cover an absolutely diabolical opening 45 minutes that saw Manchester United steamrolled by Leeds. There are question marks over Michael Carrick's tactical nous, having lost five in five to Daniel Farke (at Boro, too), and Manuel Ugarte's terrible record speaks for itself.

Cropper's Transfer Corner has some new names, including a midfielder who recently downed Arsenal. And we answer more of your questions in the Gummer's Mailbag.

All this and more in this week's Fergie's Gum.
