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.

Seeing Nani and Valencia on the wings always reminds me of 09/10 season when they were both fantastic, especially at home to Bayern.
Maybe we should prepare ourselves for Jones being unveiled as our new midfield signing in the summer.
fergei will play a strong team against arsenal and chelsea. both are still in the race for a CL spot with spurs so fergei will try to be as professional as he can here.
expect more changes and few young players when we play swansea and WBA though as both team does not have much to play.

Nice team, would have been nice to have Kagawa in there given he's been playing pretty well recently. Jones in the middle is cool as long as he doesn't start getting ahead of Rooney again. I didn't think Clev would start this but have to say thought it was odd he didn't come on at Villa when we had sealed the game.
Good to see Nani in again, whether he's in the shop window or not though is another matter. Wonder where we'll see Rooney today, if in the hole than we could be a due a performance from him with Kagawa pushing for that spot.

No....
The best we have gotten is a draw....against Madrid and Tottenham and De Gea was responsible for keeping the scoreline respectable.
What a tit.
Good to see Nani in the side too, a chance for him today. Shame about Kagawa not starting though, fancied him to have a cracker today. Shocked to not see Cleverley start in all honesty, hopefully we see him against Chelsea. Jones is class though.
Everton at OT.
We beat Blackburn away with Jones playing in midfield last season.
However, he was off the pitch when we got our goals...
I can't believe that's true personally. Look at the spurs and Real game, when he's asked to do a disciplined role in the middle he can clearly do it. If he wasn't doing what Fergie wanted in the other games then there's no way we'd either keep him on the pitch or keep playing him and you never see anyone telling him not to push forward. However odd it seems it must be a tactical decision.
Jones is our best EVER player lads. He can do what he wants.
I know you're right, but this makes no sense to me. Carrick should be the one to venture forth into the frontier while Jones tends to the farm while Evra or Rafael, or both, navigate the treacherous waters. With the luxury of this being a "free game", Fergie could even deploy a little old-fashioned total football and see what comes of it.
Only 2 I can think of are QPR last season and Everton this year.
Someone asked this question on twitter....
@matthewward1991: Anybody else think that Fabio for QPR and Rafael that plays for Man Utd look similar? #mufc #qpr

Everton at home 2-0
Nani is playing to get his value up.
I'm Jones and I do what I want.
Why's that stupid dinosaur shaking everyone's hand? Such a fuzzy welcome for us.
Too much is being made of the guard of honor.
Cracking stuff........
Almost guard of honor time 
Jones hat trick?
Will be interesting to see if Jones operates very deep ala Madrid, Everton, Spurs, or if he plays in a more regular midfield role pushing forwards.

So, Sky count Ramsey as a right winger and more attacking than Nani?
sorry am i taking up your internets?
Do us a favour and stop posting in this thread then.
Jones was fantastic that game too, practically bummed Fellaini, absolutely wrecked his head.
We should make a chant out of this best ever player thing!
He does what he wants
He does what he wants
That phil jones, he does what he wants.
Who said that?!
Oh christ not again. This Jones thing is just getting silly. And it's not exactly helping him either. He's a brilliant CB, and being played out of position all the time rarely helps players who are actually good in their preferred position. You don't want to become John O'Shea if you're capable of not being John O'Shea.
Other than that, excellent team

You've got that the wrong way round, it should be "Have we ever lost a game with Jones in midfield?".
The answer to that would be one and that was against Chelsea with the Ba super goal where Jones was our best player by a distance that day.
Oh for goodness sake.
It's so rare to be able to watch a United game with virtually nothing riding on the outcome. The last 4 games could be fun.
It needs to have "best ever player" in it!
He's not going to become John Oshea FFs. Him playing in midfield is better for him than not playing at all, and he's not a good enough centre back yet to be a nailed on starter.
We should have played Rooney and Jones together in midfield. The moaning would have been off the roof.
Or better still Giggs and Jones.
