#27: What We Missed and What We Learned

Desolate performances and results seem to finally be arriving in their full transparency, as United stare down their most disappointing season this century. We discuss this situation, and what comes next, with as much new detail as we possibly can offer.

United conceded dozens of shots and expected goals as they failed to win across three separate attempts this week. We broke down where exactly Ten Hag's setup is breaking down before talking about some positive lights in the side - Kobbie Mainoo, the returning Mason Mount, and recent academy promotee Willy Kambwala.

After missing a few International Break uploads, we return to discuss some pertinent topics from last week's Liverpool game and how it pertains to the team as a whole moving forward.

Kees and Aaron discuss Alejandro Garnacho's season to date before starting their summer transfer preview series with a section on Amadou Onana.

Two consecutive league defeats virtually end United's prospects of finishing the league in a Champions League place. With that in mind, and more than a quarter of the league season still to play, we revolve around the question... what now?

United's predictable demise on the pitch gives us little to discuss, but their significant overhaul at executive level prompts a discussion about the upcoming search for managers and players, and where the club went wrong under Solskjaer and Ten Hag.

Aaron and Kees discuss whether or not United stole a win at Luton, whether Bruno Fernandes is the problem for this side, and rehash to what degree Ten Hag or the players are responsible for the side's wastefulness in possession.

Aaron and Kees chat United's tactical problems, the top 4 race, and a slew of players in United's squad.

Much better Starting XIs, slightly better performances, and two wins. But it's the three youngest players in United's Starting XI – Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro – who own the headlines this week after their match-winning performances. Here, we discuss why there's so much hype around these players.

This week, we reflect on the difficulties of scouting managers, both as they pertain to the time Erik ten Hag was hired at United and to the possible near future. We also discussed whether United as a team should be looking to return to more traditional wingers, and how important it might be.
