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.
Colombia technical's ability will be a huge problem for England they have the players to dominate the ball and their wingers are strong and fast
Huge that James comes back for them, there's no player in the English midfield or defence who would handle him

Well those would be spectacular heights to reach.
Considering his age (19) he’s a very good young fullback.
Well defended.
Give him a new contract
Neville is selling it to me, believe!
Interesting how blasé everyone is about playing Colombia. They’re not an easy team and on the same side of the draw as Croatia.
Celebrating being on the ‘easy’ side Of the draw is not in the spirit of football and today’s match was an absolute joke.
This is likely to backfire

You're clearly an oppo fan on the WUM. I'm surprised the mods haven't banned you yet.
Giggseh has seen a stylist. Mankle on show.
Some bitter people on here, thinking England rigged the result. The England haters coming out of the woodwork. They made changes and the 2nd 11 were just not good enough. Belgium also made wholesale changes.
I hope you don't buy his
I think fullback is a very easy position to look good in when you’re not particularly good. For me he’s very meh and overrated by Liverpool fans.
Brilliant result and a good dose of reality for England fans.
It wasn't ball control. It's pretty obvious he was trying to flick it towards goal with the outside of his boot.
The comments on Pickford I've been saying since the warm up games, all the saves look like ones for the cameras, just catch it. His diving is very erratic and weird looking too.
If England had played the first team and won 3-0, the same people would be calling Southgate naive and clueless.
Wonder
No because that will mean we will be too busy writing a contract and won’t be able to complete any other business at all.
This will mean that we can solely concentrate on Martial who has 2 years left on his contract
Aye, reminds me of Socrates. I think we could do with looking at him.
Brilliant result and a good dose of reality for England fans.
Nah, everyone' convinced themselves we played that badly on purpose. Footballs still coming home
Well the strategists got their way. So how confident does everyone feel now?
Not very I’d wager. If we had played our best side and won we’d be thinking ‘bring it on’ regardless of who we might meet.
Now we’re in the so-called soft half of the draw. But we’ve just lost and played in a manner reminiscent of all our recent competitions. People will be coming out with the same old shit about picking ourselves up, bouncing back etc etc.
Now the pressures on because we’ve got the supppssed easy route. The papers will have a field day and next thing you know we will have the jitters against Colombia.
Feck losing! It’s wrong all day long.

The last major tournament was won by being on the easy side of the draw and fluking your way to narrow victories.
He glided like a swan through that England side.
No reason to blame Southgate here. Both teams rested their starting 11's. Not his fault Belgium's B team is slightly better than England's B team. There will be big questions asked if England don't beat Colombia.
If they lose to Columbia then they aren't going to beat Brazil or Mexico anyway so what's the problem?
Hasn’t it been proven many times you have better reach going with the so called ‘wrong’ hand?
It was Belgium first team?
Don’t laugh at me. Am I not allowed an opinion?
Right that’s it feck off I’m off to go and support another team!!
To be fair that is exactly what an Arsenal fan would say.
Nope, only the goalie.
AA had a lobotomy or something?
I don't think the so called best teams in this tournament are that good tbh or germany would have absolutely killed it. I dont mind careful optimism but it doesn't need to be to an extreme.
Couldn’t agree more. I can definitely see us getting a grade A dicking from Columbia. We’re not German enough to be able to turn it on and off.
He plays this way for united too. Doesn't give the ball away much when he's in possession but it doesn't get factored into the narrative here.
City, right? It's always fecking City.
Definitely would have happened.
Fellaini was very good today...
Exactly, just bitter people.
