Welcome back to Devils in the Box! Joe is here, and the vibes are absolutely immaculate. We just brushed aside Unai Emery's Aston Villa 3-1 at Old Trafford, and the Champions League spots are looking very, very real!

In this episode, we break down an incredibly vital win that puts us three points clear of Villa in third place. After a pretty sterile, goalless first half, the game absolutely exploded into life. We're discussing Casemiro opening the scoring with a brilliant header, Ross Barkley giving us a brief scare with an equalizer, and Matheus Cunha immediately restoring order.

Plus, we HAVE to talk about our captain. Bruno Fernandes dropped an absolute masterclass today, providing two assists and officially breaking the club record for the most assists in a single Premier League season with 16! And of course, we wrap up by praising Benjamin "Super Sub" Sesko for coming off the bench and doing what he does best to seal the 3-1 win. Michael Carrick now has five wins out of five at home in the league, and Old Trafford is a fortress again!

Welcome back to a tough episode of Devils in the Box following a period of illness to our host! After the sheer trauma of that 10-man Newcastle defeat, I think we all need a little bit of escapism. So today, we are doing what Manchester United fans do best: blindly ignoring the present and obsessing over the future!

In this episode, Joe dives into the massive summer transfer rumours swirling around INEOS's war chest, including an €80m pursuit of Yan Diomande and a cheeky £??m swoop for Barca's Balde. Then, we talk about the kid who might save us millions: 15-year-old academy sensation JJ Gabriel. He’s already training with the first team, and the quotes from his teammates and coaches are absolutely mind-blowing. Finally, we break down the pressing need for a marquee centre-back and why Forest's Murillo is becoming a mainstay on the hitlist.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is 15 too young, or should JJ Gabriel get some first-team minutes next season? And who is your dream CB signing?
