Red Couch MancsE41: Man Utd 1 AC Milan 1 UEL R16 1st LegA bad last-minute error from Dean Henderson costs Manchester United what would have been an undeserved first leg victory.

Red Couch MancsE40: Man City 0 Man Utd 2 EPL Match 28United come out of the blocks like a house on fire, with a quick fire press resulting in a very early penalty.

Red Couch MancsE20: Leicester 2 Man Utd 2 EPL post-match reactionVivek and Karl look back on a positive performance but an unsatisfying result. Marcus Rashford had a goal but arguably should have had a hat-trick. Anthony Martial and Daniel James were anonymous, while Eric Bailly impressed once again. We're running out of superlatives for Edinson Cavani at this point, and can only hope the strikers on the bench watching him are learning a thing or two.

Red Couch MancsE13: Man Utd 1 PSG 3 UCL post-match reactionManchester United seemed to have it all under control and perhaps that's when they got a bit too naive. Vivek and Karl scrutinize Solskjaer's failure to substitute Fred before he was sent off for a second yellow and Martial's rubbish finishing. On the positive side, Rashford was the star once again against PSG while Harry Maguire was excellent in central defence as well. Beckham Boot: Anthony Martial. Cantona Collar: Marcus Rashford.

Red Couch MancsE6: Man Utd 0 Arsenal 1 EPL post-match reactionManchester United followed up arguably their best performance of 2020 with their flattest performance of the young season.

Red Couch MancsE4: Man Utd 0 Chelsea 0 EPL post-match reactionFor all the money these two teams have spent towards attacking talent, there was hardly any creativity on display in a boring, goalless draw between Manchester United and Chelsea. Should Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked to provide a spark with a change in formation? How much of a weak link is the crossing from the fullbacks Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka? Defensively, United were very good while Cavani looked bright in his Old Trafford debut. That and more in the latest match recap.
