New Year, Same Problems
The start of a new year on The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United, with Ian Irving and Andy Mitten returning for the first podcast of 2022.We've instant reaction from the home defeat to Wolves with our matchday reporter Adam Crafton before the boys break down the last couple of weeks of action. Is action the right word, though? The football has been on the dull side, despite Scott McTominay's best efforts.Not many fans on the edge of their seats at Old Trafford then (some didn't even have seats) but Phil Jones' return was a lovely story. Next up, two games with Aston Villa amid a January transfer window that's likely to feature more agent-chatter than tangible transfers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Derby Defeat: Worse than Liverpool?
EIan Irving hosts The Athletic's twice-weekly podcast dedicated to Manchester United, with regular guests Laurie Whitwell and Andy Mitten, as well as Michael Cox, the author of Zonal Marking.On paper, defeat in the Manchester derby, by two goals, looks less bad than the five-nil drubbing from Liverpool. However, there was a feeling among some supporters that this performance was even worse.Indications are still that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won't be dismissed but, as Michael explains, Manchester United are one of very few "elite" clubs who show such loyalty to managers.
