Summary: On this week’s packed Rant Cast we discus a period in which the wheels fell of Manchester United’s title challenge, with defeats to Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. We ponder the key issues of the week, including Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to drop David de Gea, Nani’s form, Phil Jones’ mistakes and United’s set pieces. Regulars Ed and Paul talk Anderson, with the normally big-boned Brazilian back and looking trimmer than ever, and we talk about the title run in. Who is favourite for the Premier League from here on in? We ponder youth – when will United’s talented younger players get a chance in the first team – and we preview this weekend’s huge fixture with Manchester City in the FA Cup third round! Finally, we discuss the conclusion to the Luis Suarez affair, and ask whether Liverpool has lost all respect from the football community for its actions in the past two months?
