Summary
There's a case to say Lisandro Martinez is providing Manchester United's most potent attacking threat at the moment as we dig into some alarming trends with respect to the centre forwards.
Positive sounding news on stadium development this week but unease continues to rumble among the fans and there was a fairly hostile response to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's presence at Craven Cottage.
But, with FCSB up next, a top eight finish in the Europa League first phase might bring some respite and everyone but the Window Warriors TM will be glad to see the transfer deadline pass next week.

| 1:10.8 | to call the team that Manchester United are taking on |
| 1:13.5 | on Thursday in the Europa League. We'll have all the details and exactly why that is, and the sort of |
| 1:18.4 | shape they're in ahead of that match as well as United, of course, looked to book their place in the |

| 1:27.8 | happy. They're all in different places than usual. Andy and Lorry are in London hotel rooms. |
