Summary: Phil is joined by Doron Salomon of Stretford-End.com for a fifth episode to take a look at a disappointing result against Everton where the defence squandered an opportunity to seriously close the door on another Premier League title. And having failed to do so, it now adds extra dimension to the Manchester Derby next week away at Manchester City where all eyes will be next week with silverware in the balance. We examine the events of the day, what went right and what went wrong for Manchester United and how the strikers appear to be rounding into form at the right time. Even more in this episode on how Sir Alex might just approach the City match and how United does tend to make things harder for themselves than it has to be at times, to determine if it would be best to absorb attacks and counter or seriously test Manchester City in defense by pressing them from the outset of the match, given that this is uncharted waters for Mancini and this team so late in a season. We also examine the defensive errors and chalk those up to experience and explain how the young defenders will be viewed in the years ahead at United and why Everton might just be one of those examples of a lesson well learned. More in focus here with the Academy and Reserve players of the season, recent results and performances of note and what Manchester United may do about its midfield this summer given some recently linked players for the next transfer window.
