No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast

Annus Horribilis

Ep. 724

#724 | United get hammered at the Palace as the season winds towards its inevitable, miserable, mid-table finish. United were even worse than expected in south London, and very little faith was held in Erik ten Hag's team prior to the game. The Dutchman has talked an aggressive game in recent weeks. One win in seven says more than the soon-to-be-departed manager ever can. Ed & Dan digest another miserable evening in Unitedland.


Backers content is left open this week for everyone - we all need a little bonus after Monday's defeat.
