Out of the Cup and Out of Options

#961 | United were knocked out of the cup by Brighton at Old Trafford. It's going to be a long few months from here. Having been dumped out of the League Cup by Grimsby earlier in the season, and with no European football this season, United will play just 40 games this season. It's the fewest for 111 years. Perhaps that's a mercy. Ed and Dan discuss defeat to Brighton, try to put it in some context and hope that things will get better with an interim managerial appointment. 00:00 Introduction: United 1-2 Brighton 09:02 Squad Quality & Player Assessment 16:19 Interim Manager Dilemma 17:19 Cycle of Failure at United 22:56 Transfer Strategy, Midfield Needs 27:38 Leadership's Crap Decision Making 45:28 Team Selection for the Derby If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
