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.

I can't totally blame SAF. After he doesn't have the ball at his feet. I think if United drove down the wingers more they would have created more dangerous opportunities. Ashley Young needs to realise he has to be able to cross with his left foot if he play LW. I can give Valencia a pass because normally he dominates down his flank. Ashley Young continually looks to cut inside or cut back to cross with his right foot.
The midfield was almost non exisiting today, but it is not down to selection sorry to disappoint... This selection can easily beat Norwich on another day! Why cant people admit that the players let us down, let Fergie down?
Well said Erica, my mum has supported them for over 40 years and she is spitting mad. She loves Fergie, but he has a blind spot where Scholes and Giggs are concerned.
I don't know why SAF is so against throwing on Anderson or Cleverley to start off a match? Its clear to see we need players that close down and work hard in midfield. Especially on an away day like this. Did he actually think we could "pass" our way to a win with Giggs and Carrick in the middle?
Cheer up, QPR at home next week.
I thought he was our best player he skinned the left back 3 times, and Tony V didn't do it once
Hang your heads in shame, you plebs.
Good post.
One good moment doesn't excuse the previous 89 minutes. I'd still say the same as what I'm saying now - he shouldn't start for us again, and should seriously look at retirement.
I love the man and all he's done for us, he's been incredible down the years but enough is enough.
They're do a win..
we have played against teams that park the bus all the time. we just did not have any idea how to break them up today.
Wingers go on and off form. But we cannot accept an ineffective midfield...which we could see today. Giggs and Carrick were both effectively holding midfielders today..and when we get the ball to the wingers?? they looked clueless.
Not sure why Young doesnt whip in the crosses anymore. Seems more than content to play with his back to goal and pass the ball square or backwards.
Almost as infuriating as losing 3 points, and the quality of football on display today, is performances like these giving the defeatist/super-negative/'I went to bed once I saw the lineup' lot grist for their mill.
FFS, lads!
and
FFS, lads!
and He does , and they have been so brilliant for us . But there comes a time .......
Oh God! The way things are going, that will be their first win of the season. At least Chelsea and City play each other next week.
its strange, because on paper this team should be so powerful...and yet its so dam average. Something isn't clicking at all this season. We have been lucky with our in form striker force..but you can't win anything in a season relying on them making something out of nothing...
Totally agree ..Very frustrating...
I'll be over for the QPR match next week, they haven't won a PL match yet, have they?
Its dropping points at places like carrow fecking road that cost you titles. I really thought we could have at least gotten a draw. We barely even tested ruddy in the second half...and no..him coming to collect crosses doesn't count as testing him.
...yeah..especially if they have a new manager by then!!
There is some serious rubbish posted on this website which is why I don't post very much now. Example is Will Absolutes stupid statement about an old man reverting the what he knows - what fecking garbage - what do you know. and what the feck are you talking about - you obviously know nothing about coaching or you wouldn't make such statments. We were totally abject tonight - Giggs, and I idolise the guy, is not the player he was and Hernandez is definately an impact player. But Sir Alex desire is there for all to see - look at his reaction towards the end of the game - utter frustration because of (mainly) our inability to defend crosses properly. But in the end Norwich deseved it because they played better than us....end of. It's not the managers fault because he is old for feck sake. It is the players on the field not performing to their ability levels.
Don't my dear me! If you knew for sure Giggs is not good enough any more, how come we still came second last season and lost by only goal difference? and how can you predict a newer younger player is a sure win compared to an experienced Giggs?! If we win today, and there was no one saying (am sure I am right) from the outset we with this lineup would absolutely lose to a Norwich side.
Show me who did that, and I will apologise to them only but not to you people who speak in hindsight.
this match will have been the wake up call for Fergie...if the Spurs match was not.
Neither should have been lost. poor Poor...
Next weeks fixtures look like they may save what happened today.
Still.
ah well...we are only a point off the top.

You mean last year when we should have won but somehow threw it away ? Where's Colin's roll eyes smiley when I need it?
Fergie was complacent, the starting 11 were complacent (apart from the Raging Bull that is Rafa) and the subs were wrong. The movement from the front men was easily dealt with by Norwich's defenders, our wingers couldn't cross for toffee, and our midfield was jogging round the pitch like it was a practice game.
Norwich weren't much cop either. 0-0 draw would've been the right result in terms of quality of chances made.

Not bloody telling you how to support them. You sure have your own way. Just crisicing you for speaking on a public forum something I beleive is wrong. I am entitled to my opinion unless you are telling me otherwise?!
Well it's over now , and if lessons are learnt , it will be worth it I suppose . I'm just wondering if they will be though
So you're entitled to your opinion, but nobody else?
Personally I couldn't give a rat's buttocks what you think
That would appear to be the case
calm down girls.
Fergie will definitely learn from this...

If from the start of last season you have predicted we came second for sure and by goal difference, then show me where's your crystal ball, because I want it too. Now before Christmas weogre second on the table with one point differenc, you sounded like we are no way getting back if we still have Fergie in charge
Pardon?
Did Fergie say anything post-match?
But you ACTED like you cared as you followed my posts so closely! Wonder why.
dreadful dreary performance today, we never even looked like scoring, most of the team looked utterly disinterested and we never got out of neutral let alone anywhere near top gear.
if we play like we did today we would lose to just about any team in the league.

Sorry but you lost me many posts ago ( bored smiley )
You not only wanted to what I think, you even needed me to repeat!? That's weird!
Please stop following me and just listening to your own self. Maybe you will then be feeling more clever and intelligent.
It's the lethargic and disinterested bit that's a worry. Can't wait for Rooney to come back. He would have put some effort in. He is not always top notch, but my god he always tries his hardest.
