Talk of the Devils: The Athletic FC's Manchester United show · Who shone in Man United's Ipswich win? · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

Yeah. matched

Would have it just it prevents things from sagging uh and you having a difficult ten, fifteen minutes at the start of the second half when it's still one nil. matched

And y you could just see United just went through the gears in the second half and Ipswich, for the most part, didn't really have a response. matched

I mean he that was a great performance. matched

Um he's won nine out of his eleven. matched

Defensive duels. matched

And Andy said he he draws fouls. matched

It's not just the fact that he's making tackles, it's also the fact that when he has the ball and opposition players are going for him, they cannot get the ball off him because he's gotten so good at using his upper body. matched

Steve McLaren once said he's as strong as an ox. matched

Um and I think we've seen, particularly since the trip to Stanford Bridge towards the end of last season, he's taking his game to another level. matched

He's being a lot more decisive, a lot more aggressive. matched

aggressive, a lot more efficient in both in both his actions on and off the ball. matched

I mean the the greatest dribble and assist that nearly was last season, where he's just weaved past loads of players against Brentford, started with him just strong arming uh a Brentford player. matched

And he's getting really, really good that if you are side on with Maine and you're trying to get the ball back, God bless. matched

Um he hit a long pass around the quarter hour mark towards Rashford as well and that's the sort of thing that he didn't really do. matched

when he was playing on the Ruben Amor, and I think that was a demerit matched

to him in Ruben Amon's eyes. matched

Um there's loads of questions as to why Thomas Tuschell didn't trust him. matched

And I went back to a quote from Anthony Barry, Tushell's assistant manager. matched

Uh and it it was about how England's approach at the World Cup was about accelerating through the middle third, the middle twenty-four yards was this concept they constantly talk about in England. matched
