Everyone on the podcast is breathing a huge sigh of relief after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side got their first Premier League win since mid-September, achieved with a tactical switch to a back three and a 70-year-old strike-pairing.

Spurs sacked their manager on Monday and, with rumours that Antonio Conte will take the reins there, we ask James Horncastle if United should have been in for him. We also find out how the mood is in the Atalanta camp before the Champions League fixture in Bergamo.

The aftermath of Sunday's disastrious defeat to Liverpool has, inevitably, seen intense speculation about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's job security. We look at some of the stories that have blown up, including Sir Alex Ferguson's scheduled trip to the Carrington training facilities on Monday.

We've had some miserable Mondays on the pod this season, but this one has to take the biscuit. A five-nil defeat at home to a bitter rival is bad enough, but the scoreline was almost kind to the Red Devils.

Talk of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure as manager naturally intensified after what is certainly one of the club's worst results in Premier League history, and possibly the very worst of all.

Defeat at Leicester City on Saturday was as dispiriting as it was crucial and it was the worst possible start to a potentially season-defining run of games over the next few weeks.

The Monday post-mortem is becoming an all too regular occurrence on this show, so what can be done to fix the obvious problems? Does the manager, along with his coaches, take full responsibility, or should individual players simply raise their levels?

With the men away on international duty, we asked for your questions from subscribers, and the postbag was as full as ever. We get stuck into a selection of those, and figure out what condition the players will be in when they return to club training.

Everton came to Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime and, even though United had taken the lead through Anthony Martial, the visitors were unlucky to leave with just a point. How quickly will the pressure now build on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

We also talk about Park Ji-Sung, who has asked fans to stop singing a song with offensive lyrics, and Mason Greenwood, who won't be joining the England squad during the upcoming international break.
