Summary

The stats don't make for pretty reading after Bournemouth won 3-0 at Old Trafford, just as they did on their previous visit. In fact, United are setting all the wrong trends with Ruben Amorim's honeymoon period, if he ever had one, well and truly over.

The Marcus Rashford situation might not be exactly what fans are making of it, but after he was left out of the squad for a third time, it looks like it may take a little while longer before that's resolved.

And, with January on the horizon, Harry Maguire's contract will need addressing or he might leave on a free transfer in the summer. If he does stay on he will probably have to delay any holiday plans, with a tour to Asia mooted.

1:04.6

We're here huddled up in the comm's room at the stadium.

1:06.6

We're carrying away from the weather.

1:10.9

I'd like to cower away from the result for Manchester United as well. United N, Baltimore 3 but we can't do that. Grim weather, grim result, grim day all round really.

1:18.5

Two grim men looking back at me as well, Andy Mitten and Mark Critchley, how we doing?

1:22.4

You're okay? Four in out, mate. You're saying it's grim, you didn't have to stand outside the ground for two hours before the match. I think we had four seasons every 15 minutes. I even saw a patch of blue sky at one point. As for the result, because that's going to dominate the tone of this podcast. That feels like the last four seasons as well. Yeah, good one. I said to people before the game, because people come up to you, and they said two things to me today.

Rashford's going in it?
