#918 | Ed and Tom are back to pick through the week’s headlines. There’s the fallout from United’s scrappy win over Chelsea, with a dive into the numbers behind United’s uneven start to the season. We talk safe standing at Old Trafford – expanded and long overdue – and what it means for matchday atmosphere. The women’s team gets plenty of attention too: a bright start to the new campaign capped by Champions League qualification, and a tricky draw that promises drama. Finally, we turn to Brentford away: tactical tweaks, possible line-up changes, and where United still need to sharpen up.
