#708 Expected defeat in the derby, but at least United made a fist of it for an hour. Then came City's goal, Ten Hag's weird substitutions and some questionable refereeing.

Rash Behaviour

#707 United beat Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup with a late headed goal. Could it be the strike that saves Erik ten Hag's job? Perhaps if United make it all the way to the Cup final.

The Robins Effect

#706 United lose at home to Fulham and despite many lows this season, this was one of the most dispiriting defeats. Has Erik ten Hag learned nothing from 15 defeats in all competitions this season? And with Ten Hag asking people to look at the big picture, does the Dutchman realise United's future may not include him should the season end without trophies and Champions League football. Ed & Dan ask the questions and then look ahead to Forest in the Cup.

Manchester United: A New Hope

#704 Victory over Luton followed a now familiar pattern, with Erik ten Hag's side unable to produce a controlled performance despite scoring twice in the opening minutes. Rasmus Hojlund's double gave United the best possible start, but slowly Luton got back into the game and came close to pulling off an unlikely draw. Ed & Dan dig into another curious performance. Then there's further movement in the backroom, with reports that United are looking to hire both Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox into a revamped football operations department.00:00 Luton 1, United 205:00 United's Performance and Style of Play10:00 Ten Hag's End Goal13:00 Bruno Fernandes19:00 Raphael Varane's Performance23:00 Luton's Performance25:00 Kobbie Mainoo27:00 Ross Barkley's Improvement32:00 Harry Maguire's Performance34:00 Referee Decisions and VAR39:00 Hojlund's Brilliant Goals42:00 United's Improved Goal Scoring47:00 Negotiations and Speculations on Backroom Staff49:00 The Complexity of Football Contracts51:00 Secrets in Football52:00 Dan Ashworth's Role55:00 Anecdote about John Murtough's Mistake in Not Signing Harland58:00 Tintin and Castifiore Get It OnIf you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page. No Question About That is available on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Amazon and all podcast apps.

Masters of Chaos

#703 United score late to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park. It was no vintage performance from Ten Hag's team, but once again Scott McTominay scored a crucial goal. With United now just six points off the Champions League places, are Ten Hag's team coming into some form at just the right time? Ed &amp; Dan discuss victory in Birmingham and then look forward to next weekend's game against Luton.

The New Old Trafford

#701. United secure a comfortable victory over David Moyes' West Ham at Old Trafford. Is this finally the turning point?

The New Trinity

#700. It's normally the worst game of the season, but somehow United v Wolves turned into a barnstormer, with Kobbie Mainoo enforcing his growing reputation as one of the finest young players in the country. Ed & Tom review a chaotic fixture, praise Mainoo, and ask whether Erik ten Hag's team has finally turned a corner.

Kobbie Mainoo Hype Train

#699. United beat Newport in the FA Cup, but there was little satisfaction to take away from the game after Ten Hag's side gave up a two goal lead.

The Tender Doc and the AI Sheikh

#696. United draw an entertaining and often chaotic game against Spurs at Old Trafford. More than the result, it was notable for the first appearance for some time from Lisandro Martinez, with Casemiro on the bench, and another goal for Rasmus Højlund. But did Erik ten Hag get the tactics right?

Rasmus Gøalund

#695. United beat Wigan in the FA Cup to progress to the fourth round. It was a pretty nondescript performance and Ed & Dan have little of interest to say about it... except that Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are legit good. There's some discussion about Jadon Sancho's impending move to Borussia Dortmund and a preview of Tottenham at the weekend.If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page. No Question About That is available on YouTube, Apple, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, Amazon and all podcast apps.

Benevolent Dictators

#693. Almost inevitably, after the high of United's comeback against Villa last time out, Erik ten Hag's reds crash to defeat. It was a 14th loss in all competitions this season. Before the New Year.

Auld Lang Resign?

Heroes and Villains

#691. Defeat at West Ham increases the pressure on Erik ten Hag as we approach the end of the year. It was yet another pathetic showing from the reds. Perhaps there is hope on the horizon though, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS Group completing a 25% acquisition of the club.

#689. United exit the Champions League and it's all getting a bit too much for Ed & Tom. It's the fourth time in the past nine Champions League campaigns that United have exited at the group stage. It was also the 12th defeat in all competitions this season. Erik ten Hag's job is on the line, but can United even afford to fire him. What. A.
