    Cult Hero: Reflecting on Casemiro's Man Utd Legacy w/ Adam Joseph
    May 12 2026
    Casemiro’s time at Manchester United is coming to an end, which makes this the right moment to judge the signing properly. This episode looks back on what Casemiro brought to the club, the impact he had in midfield, the big moments, the decline, and how he'll be remembered. There is also discussion on the wider context around the move — the fee, the wages, the age profile, the short-term boost he gave the team, and whether United would do the same deal again.

  • Was That Zirkzee's Last Chance? Sunderland 0-0 Man Utd Reaction

    Was That Zirkzee's Last Chance? Sunderland 0-0 Man Utd Reaction
    May 9 2026
    Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland was another reminder that too many rotation players and squad options are not offering enough - with Zirkzee, Mount and most of the team failing to impress. This video from Scott Saunders breaks down a flat attacking display, a lack of threat in key areas, and why several players failed to take a big opportunity. There is also a look at what this says about United’s squad depth, and a talk about whether this is Michael Carrick's fault and whether he should stay as coach or not.
