Summary
Rob Jones is joined by James Olley, Charlie Wyett and Dan Kilpatrick to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick off at Old Trafford as Manchester United cruise to a 2–0 win over Tottenham. A first-half Romero red card flips the game on its head for Thomas Frank’s side — and it leaves us asking: how much longer can Carrick be overlooked as a permanent manager?
Next to Newcastle, and after a 3-2 loss at home to Brentford, we ask what’s going wrong for Eddie Howe’s side?
Finally, we discuss reports linking Mo Salah with a move to Saudi Arabia, and ask how realistic it is that he could become the league’s new face in the near future.
