Hey everyone, welcome to Redmen TV. So Manchester United are in the relegation zone. They are protesting against the owners. And despite two late comebacks in a week, Michael Carrick's job is potentially up in the air. We love it. We're having a wonderful time with all of this at Redmen TV.

Manchester United's big week of comebacks. My word.

Going in to the Aston Villa game at the weekend, it had been their worst start to a league season in 40 years.

It does come on the back, Dan, of a... Look, I had the Man United mid-week game on. I heard Roma. It was hilarious. But there was a point, Chris and I were texting each other throughout it and saying, 15 minutes to go, there's a stick or twist thing here and it's not outside the rounds of possibility that they'll just throw something in here and they did. So that was a bad one. And then again, having the come back draw at the weekend.

Chloe (1:40)

It was... I'm so sorry, but on that, they posted a photo of Matias Cunha with the word hero.

And do you know how like you felt like the other day when he scored against Chelsea and he did that little crap dance? He's not reading the room. Someone needs to tell Man United's admin that they're not quite reading this room because hero, he's a 1-1 game in the Premier League. He's made a comeback against Roma, which fair play, they have been a really good side, but once again, Italian football. I do get it, but hero.

Dan (2:16)

It's a bit over the top, a grandiose term, like I guess that like...

Paul (2:20)

Words are important, like, you know, and then that for Manchester United, it just shows where they're at, really.

Dan (2:25)

But they haven't lost as much as the crap, and it's brilliant that they're crap. They have managed, much in the same way we say about Chelsea, like even when they are an absolute basket case, they managed to pick up silverware. United have never really lost that ability to do mad late things in games, have they? They won a few years ago when they got to that dog of a Europa League final against Spurs, with the semi-final they won like five, four in wild circumstances. Harry Maguire did something mental at the end.

Chloe (2:52)

He did when we went to Old Trafford late on, didn't they?

Dan (2:56)

Yeah, so they do maintain, we've got it as well obviously, they can be wrong there, but they've always kind of maintained that despite their shittness in recent times, and this was a week of it ultimately, wasn't it?

Chloe (3:05)

Also, them actually having a comeback win mid-week, like, I was all right with it because they kept Caddick, and that is the problem with them right now. They were something after the game where basically it came out about the owners, and had, on 90 minutes, are you about to mention what?

Dan (3:26)

Did you hear what he said?

Chloe (3:27)

Yeah, basically, the summary of it is 90 minutes in, he was sacked, he was literally like they were sacking him.

Paul (3:38)

Which game? Villa?

Chloe (3:39)

Yeah, Villa. So at 90 minutes in, he was sacked, he was gone, completely and utterly gone, but the additional six minutes and two goals later, he's all of a sudden kept his job again. And the point being is, I don't think there's like, cool, but why... They're joined up in thinking that, isn't they? Exactly, that is it. There's not really, that's not a business thought, that is it.

Paul (4:03)

Funny enough, me and my dad were having this conversation, and it's one of those things where, at his words, where like, the prudence of FSG has really paid dividends for us, and that is that they are, they were football people, they were sports people, and they understood the benefits to aiming to win and be successful, but they also knew that you needed to take time and have breathing room on decisions, et cetera, et cetera. There is just no world in which, under FSG's tenure, they would ever allow a manager's future to hinge on injury time goals. You're either not good enough or you're good enough, and it's a non-issue, so it doesn't matter. The result is absolutely irrelevant because you're back what you're doing.
