Summary: Phil is joined by Doron Salomon of Stretford-End.com for a third episode to take a look at the many talking points in the wake of a rather frustrating match against Fulham Football Club on Monday night. It is now the critical part of the season where grinding out results is now important and with United on top, a 1-0 result does appear to be one of those important events where the psychology of the business end of the season becomes magnified as cracks are beginning to show in the Manchester City mentality. We gauge some of the key players in the Fulham match and take a closer look at one Jonny Evans who was match of the match and examine his future role with the club as he matures into a solid player in big games. Doron then examines the Academy and Reserve prospects as well as those Manchester United players out on loan to give us an update on their progress over the year and who appears to be emerging on each of those fronts. We also take a deeper look at some players who have big questions in front of them which includes Federico Macheda whose loan to QPR has not gone according to plan and may need a move to a place where he is guaranteed some first team football after two years without much at all. In the final segment we do talk a bit about transfer business from what the club needs to what may be truly possible given the factors of the Premier League in particular where United clearly do have enough to compete for any title. The questions will arrive in the form of what happens once Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov finally move on and whether the club will actually look to find more options in the center of the midfield both in terms of protection for the backline and a real creative element who could work in tandem with a big figure like Wayne Rooney who clearly finds that dropping deeper into the midfield is one of his strengths. Check out that discussion on how Wayne Rooney could be used in the future as it may suggest, ultimately, what Manchester United does this summer with its transfer business.
