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.

Spurs are a better team than us, but we had a better season. They bottled it in the big games in the Cups (four competitions from their perspective) and when they seemed like they could compete for the title, immediately got a nosebleed.
None of those teams got to celebrate like tonight, much as they'd like to mock the scenes. Mourinho made his priority known all along, it's the best way to qualify for the Champions League.
But everyone who finished above us can go into next season with the same optimism, perhaps with the exception of Arsenal.

We've got two trophies, of course it's a better season.
How is this a question? What have they won that we haven't?
LMA a bit hasty?
We've had a better season than everyone except Chelsea.
I don't know, ask the fans of those other clubs who will argue till they are blue in the face that they've had better seasons.
Of course we have
I'd take finishing 6th but getting 3 pieces of silverware over finishing 2,3,4,5 and getting nothing.

Chelsea's the only team who can say they had a better season then us. And even that's debateable if they don't win the FA cup (though they probs will)
They won the PL, that absolutely dwarves everything we've done this season. They could get annihilated 10-0 in the FA Cup and I'd still swap seasons with them in a heartbeat.
Not difficult to answer. CL, like them, but the difference is winning some titles, so yes, clearly a better season.
All those saying Spurs had a better season, just a question :
Would you rather win 2 trophies and end up in CL or try to win the league when it was already won in January and win nothing and end up just being in the CL?

Yeah better season than everyone except Chelsea. Our football wasn't better but we achieved objectives and it puts us in good position to strengthen in summer.
We've won a trophy we've never won, thus completing our silverware collection. Chelsea are still miles away from reaching our league titles and we can win the league next season with the right additions, as Jose, who now has a club that will completely back him, has time and time again proven to be able to add.
We had better season than other teams except Chelsea. Also finishing 4th means playing in CL qualifiers, now we have qualified for group stages and also will be playing European super cup.
Chelsea had a much better season than us, they've effectively won the Double.
2 major trophies and we qualified for Champions League (directly in Group Stage too), how can anyone debate we had better season than every other PL team bar Chelsea? :S
I don't know how it can be even argued that qualifying for Champions League but winning absolutely nothing can be a better season than qualifying for Champions League and also winning two trophies, including one never won by that team before.
Yes only Chelsea had a better season than us. It isn't just a domestic league that teams like United play all competitions count.
Yes, of course. Jesus!
Worse than Chelsea, better than the others. However if EL didn't give champions league qualification as a prize then I would rank Spurs, City, Pool above us. (Even Arsenal if they win FA cup)
If Chelsea loses the FA Cup final, I will even say we've had a better season than Chelsea!
Okay, just a bit too excited, I admit.
Do City not go straight into the group stages by finishing 3rd?
What this bloke said.
2nd best season of all English clubs, can't be arsed to think about all the sides in Europe right now.
You might be right, I thought it was only 1st and 2nd qualifying automatically these days.
We have had a better season than all 3 including Spurs. Now if you are a spurs fan, you would be more content than us though, as you are used to winning nothing anyway.
Some of them might be a better team than us at the moment but not close in terms of actual successes this year.

No way. League title trumps our season all day for me
Let us say that at the start of the season a genie who always makes his promises happen, appeared to you and said pick one for Manchester United and whichever one you pick will be a reality:
1. 2nd place in the league with no trophy.
2. 3rd place in the league with no trophy
3. 4th place in the league with no trophy
4. 5th place in the league with no trophy (or maybe one FA Cup trophy)
5. And 6th place in the league with a Community Shield, the EFL trophy and the Europa League trophy.
Which option would you have chosen?
I thought so too.
1. 2nd place in the league with no trophy.
2. 3rd place in the league with no trophy

Even so, we get Pot 2 so we have done better than Spurs too.
Double checked it and you're right, it's been so long since we were in that bracket
Even so, we get Pot 2 so we have done better than Spurs too.
But this ^^^
Of course we did. Whether we are better than them is another question though.
2nd, 3rd,4th aren't updating their honours section three times this year. Easily better for us.
Chelsea had no Euro games and no major injuries. Winning the league was not exactly a biggie. However, if they add the FA Cup, then I will be really impressed.
People, and only really in England, do overrate the league. The feeling of winning European competitons far eclipses any feeling of winning the league. If you're the top team in your country league titles are all but guaranteed at some point due to the nature of the competition. There's a lot more variation in cups, which makes controlling your outcome harder, and combine that with the sense of adventure, it can't be beat.
There's also five league titles to go around in the top five leagues alone, but only two European cups.
I'm big on data and stats, and analysing performances based on them, but I'm not eulogising to my kids in twenty years about the time we had the best expected goals in the league or finished with a record goal difference but won feck all.

overall, with 2 trophies, yes, we have better season than 4 teams above us. but in Premier League, it's still disappointing for me. I still regret those draws. hopefully next season we wont waste many chances again, can win many matches and get PL trophy!
Even if we don't win the FA Cup, no...you haven't done better than us...
None of your trophies match the Premier League title. I bet you would trade your LC and EL anyday for the PL.
Nobody is going to remember spurs winning nothing. Can anyone remember who came second when we were winning titles with Ferguson.
Nah. The league is the bread and butter.
38 games playing each team home and away. That's the true reflection of where a team is at. With cups you have to factor in the luck of the draw and the fact a cup game is a one-off ultimately. Some teams will raise their level, others see it as a distraction.
At the moment Utd are a great cup team and with the right recruitment should be ready for a title push next season.
