199: Gunners shoot down wounded Reds

Strettycast, Manchester United podcasts produced by StrettyNews.com

On this week’s episode of the Strettycast we analyse the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, plus Barmy Article editor Andy Slator joins us to talk about the women’s team winning the FA Cup over the weekend.

Title-chasing Arsenal edged past United at Old Trafford on Sunday as Erik ten Hag’s side fell to their 14th league defeat of the season. There is a growing acceptance that United have not got the players to compete in these fixtures, but that doesn’t make the 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace any better.

Casemiro is attracting more criticism with every game he plays at centre-back. It’s only getting worse but his days at Old Trafford are numbered.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe was at Old Trafford for the game to carry out a matchday survey. This somehow led to criticism for the co-owner, who had plenty to say to an Old Trafford employee ahead of the game. He would not have been impressed to see the roof leaking again.

David Moyes or Marc Skinner

Although the women’s team made history by winning the club’s first-ever major trophy, Marc Skinner isn’t very popular among fans after performances dropped from a cliff after an impressive 2022/23 campaign.

The jury appears to be out on Skinner even after winning the FA Cup final. We also discuss the revisionism about former manager Casey Stoney.

Slator also spoke to us about a memorable day out at Wembley with United beating Tottenham 4-0. Avram Glazer was in attendance, but not Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
