In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Would you rather he be happy? Christ.
Honestly thought that was going to be Smalling for Evans which is the obvious one
At least he fecking cares.
It's good to see he's upset. You would be if you had to be subbed off after half an hour but i'm sure in hindsight he'll agree with the decision.
Incredibly harsh to sub him off only half an hour in. If it was a senior player I'm sure SAF would have waited until HT at least.
its back level now, can we get back to playing proper football and not this comedy stuff.
Harsh on Rafael - arguably at least 3 or 4 other Utd players who deserved to go off more. But then again, he was bound to be sent off so really...
That was poor from fergie, it could have a bad thing in rafaels mentality.
Two things.. one he's on a yellow.. and secondly, the sub adds height to defend against set pieces.
It makes sense.
Rafael is smart enough to get that... maybe at HT.

I don't think he was taken off because he was the weak link in our defense, he was taken off because we needed some additional height in defense considering that we conceded 3 goals from headers and two of those from corner an additional tall man isn't such a bad idea.
First thing I thought when he got the yellow was he'll get a red.
I hope someone explains to him that he wasn't subbed because he was responsible completely for conceding the goals, rather a tactical choice made on the fact he's likely to have been sent off and wasn't having the best time against reading. Also, they dived twice near him so they sense they can get him sent off because they're cnuts.

Not really. He was being torn apart and was very likely to get sent off.
Why would he sub Evans when Rafael is on a yellow card? fecking common sense.
I think it's more the fact we're getting bullied in the air.
I'll give him credit when he is avg on a consistent basis. But he has pulled a couple out of his ass today.
Rvp!
Wow!
Beautiful
Robin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God 403 rvp

RVP!!! What a game.
Nah, he had to come off. Can't go to 10 in this since we already need about 15 defenders just to keep it close. And need him next week.
ArrrVeePeee
Yess! Rvp
RVP 3-4. Amazing game

Would have loved to rout them, but we only have to outscore them. Some posters talking as though we're 3-0 down.
What a fecking goal.

No, but take it like a man instead of a little child.
Fantastic play.

Gutted for Rafael, but it had to happen. It looked like one of the old days where you just knew he was going to get himself sent off.
RvP!!!!!!!
