Fans Surveyed: 69% Say Ole Should Go
11 november 2021 · 47 min
Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with club correspondent Laurie Whitwell and United We Stand Editor Andy Mitten. Lees meer
Andy wrote up The Athletic's survey of Manchester United fans this week, and the headline figure was the 69% of fans who said the manager should leave immediately. A similar number said signing Ronaldo was the right decision but there was no love for the Glazer family, while the players seem to have gotten off lightly.
Meanwhile the club's CEO of Media, Phil Lynch, got a bit of stick after he took part in an industry podcast discussing the management of players' social media. And, with quite a few players missing international games this week, should they be training hard or freshening their legs with a break?

Derby Defeat: Worse than Liverpool?
8 november 2021 · 46 min
Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's twice-weekly podcast dedicated to Manchester United, with regular guests Laurie Whitwell and Andy Mitten, as well as Michael Cox, the author of Zonal Marking. Lees meer
On paper, defeat in the Manchester derby, by two goals, looks less bad than the five-nil drubbing from Liverpool. However, there was a feeling among some supporters that this performance was even worse.
Indications are still that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won't be dismissed but, as Michael explains, Manchester United are one of very few "elite" clubs who show such loyalty to managers. Should they be looking to upgrade whenever the opportunity arises?

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with club correspondent Laurie Whitwell and United We Stand Editor Andy Mitten. Lees meer
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.

18 oktober 2021 · 44 min
Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with regular panellists, club correspondent Laurie Whitwell and United We Stand Editor Andy Mitten. Lees meer
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?

Claret and Blues All Over Again
27 september 2021 · 40 min
This is The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United, hosted by Ian Irving, with club writers Laurie Whitwell and Andy Mitten. Lees meer
Familiarity was the theme on this miserable Monday morning. Once again, a team wearing Claret and Blue came to Old Trafford, and once again they pulled off a smash-and-grab. This time it was Aston Villa heading back to Brum with three Premier League points.
The next visitors will be Villareal, no strangers themselves. They specialise in draws, with five of their six La Liga fixtures (and the European Super Cup) ending all square. A draw is no good for United, though, so they'll have to outdo Chelsea and both Madrid clubs by sinking the Yellow Submarine.

20 september 2021 · 49 min
The Athletic's Manchester United reporters Carl Anka and Andy Mitten join Ian Irving to break down yet another away win in the Premier League. Lees meer

Is it enough to be doing just enough? Carl Anka has written about exactly that this week, but it's a subject that splits the podcast panel. We also react to the rumours surrounding Declan Rice and consider the rematch with West Ham in the Carabao Cup.
