#554. United's worst season in 30 years was made slightly more tolerable with the knowledge that Liverpool will not be doing a treble, let alone a quadruple. It's a sad state of affairs that it has come to this. Over in South London, United lost at Crystal Palace. It was completely insipid. So what's new?

#551. Victory at Old Trafford and a strong performance as well. Perhaps the old guard of Ronaldo, Matic and Mata aren't so bad after all? Ed & Tom look back on United 3-0 Brentford and ahead to the trip to Brighton at the weekend. The penultimate game of the season.

#548. For the second time this season Liverpool smash United without breaking a sweat. It was all too much for Ralf Rangnick, who threw his players and employers under the bus and then slowly reversed back over them. Not before time some might add.

#546. United lose to Everton. It was one of the most insipid, pathetic, undignified and indisciplined performances in recent years... and there have been far too many of its kind. In the week that United moved closer to appointing Erik Ten Hag as the next manager, the team demonstrated just how much work there is to be done.
