Daniel Tiluk and Daniel Maluka discuss the current state of Manchester United.

Was the 2024/25 season a total write-off when INEOS extended Erik ten Hag's contract? Are Manchester United an attractive destination for players? Is Ruben Amorim the right coach to move forward? Which players in the squad should be kept? Thoughts on Marcus Rashford. Are African players judged differently, and why should you keep going with a club when they fall below the standard they set?
