#286. For the first time in a long time, Ed & Paul get to look back on two United wins. They run the rule over the Red Devils' win over Zorya Luhansk in a very cold Odessa and over Tottenham at an altogether more temperate Old Trafford. Things are looking a lot rosier than they have been of late, but can it last? There's a big ol' listener questions section and a cursory preview of the upcoming Crystal Palace and West Brom games. You know. The usual. No Question About That is available on Ap...

#285. United continue to confuse. After a dazzling performance in the League Cup, much duller fare was served up at Goodison Park. Ed & Paul look back on another week of no one really knowing where José Mourinho's side are at right now. Additionally, Paul is joined by writer and filmmaker Carl Anka to chat about United, there's a cursory preview of the clash with Zorya Luhansk and a chat about how "Lads, it's Tottenham," might not quite apply this time.No Question About That is available on ...

#284. What to make of United? Handsome victory over Feyenoord in the Europa League followed by yet another deeply frustrating home draw with West Ham in the Premier League. The domestic result leaves United 11 points behind the league leaders, with qualification for next season's Champions League all but a rapidly fading dream. Ed & Paul look back on all the fallout from United's two games this week and ask what Mourinho can do to turn results around. There's a look ahead to games against We...

#283. Another game, another solid home performance in the Premier League, another draw. It's becoming a pattern. José Mourinho's side performed well against Arsenal at the weekend, but a failure to take chances and the Gunners' late goal means that the Reds have dropped six points in the past three home league games. Ed & Paul look back on all the fallout from United's weekend draw, and ahead to matches against Feyenoord and West Ham. Better results to come? Let's hope so.No Question About T...

#282. It's international week so very little football of consequence is going on. In other news José Mourinho eviscerated two of his players while planning the sale of, perhaps, half-a-dozen others. Good work. Oh, and there's a game against Arsenal at the weekend! There's also a brief look at Feyenoord next Thursday.

#281. Was José Mourinho's side better or Swansea City the worst team United have faced this season? Either way the Reds gained three absolutely vital points in Wales, Zlatan Ibrahimovic two goals and Paul Pogba a worldie strike. For once, supporters went home happy! United's win in Wales was in stark contrast to the performance at Fenerbahce, where the Reds put in one of the worst away performances in Europe since, well, the last one. Dearie me.

#280. José Mourinho's side took 37 shots against Burnley at Old Trafford and failed to score. THIRTY SEVEN. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was responsible for a good chunk of them. Ed & Paul discuss the misfiring Swede and United's failure to keep pace with rivals at the top of the Premier League after the disappointing home draw with the Clarets. There's also a review of the Reds' defeat at Stamford Bridge, together with the victory over City in the League Cup. To round off the show there's a preview o...

#277. It's the hope that kills you, right? The frustration in scoring just once from 24 shots at goal is not that United failed to beat Stoke City at Old Trafford, but that José Mourinho's side should have won by a cricket score. United created "no sustained pressure," claimed Stoke manager Mark Hughes. Who was he kidding; this was the Reds' best performance of the season to date.

United looked like a different team at Old Trafford on Saturday, for no obvious reason that anyone could work out.

#275. After the joy and optimism of August, Manchester United have crashed into September like some sort of thing crashing into a thing it definitely should not have crashed into. Ed & Paul convene to reluctantly discuss three defeats on the bounce for Jose Mourinho's men. The subject of Wayne Rooney inevitably comes up, as does chat about Pep out tactic-ing Jose, the abject defeat at Feyenoord and the omnishambles at Watford. In a profoundly against type turn of events, Ed is pretty upbeat ...

With the derby coming up, we decided to record a little bonus episode, chatting with Bleacher Report's Manchester City Correspondent and Manchester Evening News journalist Rob Pollard about the City perspective on the game. We talk Pep, obviously, and in spite of Paul's best efforts to keep the City love in to a minimum, Rob waxes lyrical about the career of Yaya Toure. Rob is very fair minded on United and has interesting things to say about the rivalry from a City perspective and working...

Players knackered after tens of thousands of miles on a plane. Sure thing! But at least there's the derby to look forward to. Ed & Paul preview another José Mourinho vs Pep Guardiola content as United host City at Old Trafford.

#270. Back to that winning feeling. Last season United collapsed at Bournemouth - it seemed to say much about Louis van Gaal's team. No longer, with José Mourinho's side returning to Dean Court to seal a comfortable win, although not one that always brought back the style. That time will come, but for now the Portuguese has two victories from two competitive matches.

#269. Same old United, always winning - at Wembley. José Mourinho's team returned to the capital just 78 days after collecting the FA Cup to bag the Community Shield with victory over Leicester City. Much has changed in the interim: new manager, new faces, and a new belief that the dark times of the past three seasons are now over. Ed & Paul review United's performance at Wembley, and look forward to the new campaign proper, which begins against Bournemouth at Dean Court next weekend. There'...

Italy and Germany went at it hammer and tongs for 120 minutes of enthralling Euro 2016 quarter-final action - only to produce one of the lowest quality (and most entertaining) penalty shoot-outs in history.

#262. The end of United's season and for Louis van Gaal's time at the club. At least the old boy went out with some silverware to show for it after one of the most miserable campaign's in living memory ended with the Dutchman facing the sack. Van Gaal's time at United has been a failure, even if it concluded with the veteran coach defiantly parading the FA Cup in front of the media on Saturday night. Bye Louis, welcome, José.

#261. United failed to reach the Champions League for the second time in three years. Confirmation was delayed by 48 hours, but Manchster City's draw at Swansea all but guaranteed the Blues a place at the top table of European football. Despite beating Bournemouth on Tuesday, Louis van Gaal's side is out: of time, of the Champions League, of credibility. United had to beat the south coast side 19-0 on Tuesday and for 45 minutes it looked as if the season might end less with a bang than a Van Gaa...

#260. Just when Louis van Gaal's side has seemingly reached its nadir along comes a fresh blow. The FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton was a high, only partially puncture by a limp home draw against Champions Leicester. City's home draw with Arsenal gave United real hope of making the Champions League and redeeming a season. Then came two dreadful performances on the road: in victory over Norwich City and defeat to West Ham United. Ed & Paul look back on United's win at Carrow Road and d...

Once again this week Van Gaal proved better value for money off the pitch than on it as United laboured to a score draw against Leicester City at Old Trafford. The Dutchman called it United's "best performance of the season" - although he has a very small pool of decent performances to pick from.
