There have been some bad performances at Anfield over the years, but few where United were so thoroughly dominated. Humiliated even. José Mourinho set United up to come away with a scoreless draw. Instead, Liverpool took 36 shots to United’s six. Just one barometer of how completely Mourinho has failed at the club. It is surely time for the manager to go. On this week’s pod, Ed & Paul discuss all the fallout from United’s defeat to Liverpool. It is a result that leaves the club 12 points away from Champions League qualification and 19 off the top. The worst season since 1990. There’s a preview of upcoming games against Cardiff and Huddersfield and a look ahead to United’s Champions League fixtures with PSG. For backers, a discussion of some of the best kids movies. Because fun. Rant Cast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, acast and all good podcast apps.

José Mourinho enjoyed it. Marouane Fellaini enjoyed it. But did the watching public enjoy it? The Belgian’s late winner against Young Boys ensured qualification for the Champions League Round of 16, but it capped another mediocre performance in a mediocre week from Mourinho’s team.

In typically farcical fashion, José Mourinho claimed Manchester City had “everything nice and easy” ahead of the Blues’ thumping victory over United in the derby last weekend. The excuse-ladened fallout from United’s beating at the hands of the club’s most bitter rivals to capped a week of mixed fortune. (more…)

He wanted to leave in the summer, but does the Frenchman now have a better outlook at the club?

Back from the international break, there are games against Chelsea and Juventus at Old Trafford to enjoy. Could it get any tougher for José Mourinho’s Manchester United side? It’s the start of a tough run, with fixtures against Juventus (again), Everton, Bournemouth, and Manchester City to come over the next month.

Has a Manchester United manager ever so obviously self-immolated in the way that José Mourinho did in the defeat at West Ham on Saturday? What manager – a Manchester United manager at that – picks the team Mourinho selected, in the shape in which they were deployed, and then uses those substitutes? It is almost as if Mourinho was asking to be put out of his misery. On the show this week Ed & Paul look back on United’s defeat at the London Stadium, dwelling on the catastrophic fallout. There’s a review of the ongoing Mourinho v Pogba saga, and a look ahead to games against Valencia and Newcastle. For backers, a discussion United’s young players of the year over the past decade.

So, is this a crisis yet? While Manchester United’s manager might have you believe that it is all the media’s fault, Ed & Paul wonder whether José Mourinho’s hyperbolic performance this week might not have been a smokescreen.

Is Mourinho totally at fault? Is it his players? Or the owners? What next for the club? As always, there are plenty of listener questions answered and a look ahead to next week’s fixture against Burnley.

Well that didn’t last long. United may have beaten Leicester City on the opening day of the new season, but it was far from a convincing performance. And if supporters thought that was just a sluggish start, far worse was to come away to Brighton & Hove last weekend. After a dismissal pre-season and a very public row between Paul Pogba and the manager, some are questioning José Mourinho’s future at the club. On the show this week Ed & Paul look back at United’s calamitous defeat on the south coast, touch briefly on the opening day victory, discuss Mourinho vs Paul Pogba, and touch on the Women’s team. There are plenty of listener questions, a look ahead to United v Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford and, for backers, a discussion about European football.   Rant Cast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and all good podcast apps.
