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.
That's harsh on CBs.
VAR check for possible red card for Jagielka. Red card. Sheffield United down to ten men. It's about if covering defenders would have got round in time.
Seems like a good score for Leicester considering the chances Burnley had.
Schmeichel is inspiring with confidence.

It was a rollercoaster reading this.
Really don’t see that’s a red
Horrendous refereeing decision.
That’s not a red card, come on. If El Ghazi gets to run after that touch, the defender coming from behind will catch him before it’s a clear goalscoring opportunity. Same with the guy coming from the left side of the pitch. He’ll get a shot in for sure, or has to stop and drible, but that’s not a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Correct call I think. He’s absolutely smashed him with the covering defender 20 yards away. Bear in mind El Ghazi is much faster than Kean Bryan too.
It wasn't obvious. There was a chance defender could get across.
Am I the only one surprised that wasn’t a red In the first place?
Lets never forget we made 64 year old Jagielka look like a beast.
No. The first thing I thought after the challenge was ‘red’. It’s actually the correct call imo.
How are Burnley not ahead here.
Yeah, unless Usain Bolt was in a red and white shirt I didn’t see much chance of anyone getting near el Ghazi.
Leicester look awful. You want to be worried when Burnley are playing better attacking football than you
The concerning thing for me is Jagielka is what Maguire is going to be very soon.
You know something, Sheff Utd are lucky not to be down to 9 men. That McGoldrick challenge is a second yellow if a) he wasn’t already booked and b) they’ve already had a man sent off.
Sub Oliver Burke subbed off.
Burked subbed on at 60 minutes and off at 89 
Gotta be a record for a non injury related sub.

Nice result. Gives us hope for top four.
Leicester are suddenly so ponderous going forward
Also nice, puts Villa well and truly out of contention now. They're gassed.
Don't often say this about any Burnley match but that was a decent watch. Schmeichel was in excellent form.
You'll finish comfortably in the top four along with Chelsea. Leicester are done and West Ham and Spurs are nothing to worry about behind
CHO and Tuchel?Burked subbed on at 60 minutes and off at 89
Just shows how influential Grealish is. He would be a real asset in our side. Just doesn’t give the ball away cheaply
Two excellent results for the top 4 chasers.
Feck var.
Villa were never a threat to you two. Both Everton and Pool will finish 15 points or more higher than them, and it’s been apparent for a while. The ultimate one man team, Villa (one and a half if you credit Watkins).
Officially not the worst team in PL history 
Villa should be embarrassed
Imagine losing to this Sheffield United team

Not just them, but Leicester dropping points helps too.
Now they are a real threat to everyone from us to Spurs, but they need men back quick to bolster their ranks. Barnes, Maddison, Justin (ain’t happening anytime soon, poor lad) and Evans. When they can field their first choice XI, they’re one of the best teams in the league. They only fall off when the schedule catches up on the legs.
Leicester bottling it again by the looks of things
Even Perez (as poor as he is) or Praet (who'se actually ok) too. Fofana looks to be back now, which is a plus for us - we can make do defensively (unless we get even more injuries).
But even so, I have no idea where goals are supposed to come from. We lined up with three defensive midfielders in the side. We're having to play players like Choudhury and Amartey, and they're barely championship level. Hell, I'm not sure Choudhury is even a footballer.
Frustrating, but with Barnes out for at least 6 weeks (I'd personally double that - Rodgers always criminally underrated how long a player will be out), Justin not back this season (he'd been electric going forwards), and no idea about Maddison, then I have no idea where goals will come from. Vardy looks like a spent force, and Rodgers was cowardly in taking 'nacho off instead of Vardy.
Eurgh, such a lazy take on things.
Burke beats that by 2 minutes!
fecking Maguire
Cavani...
