Summary
November has arrived and, while there haven't been any major fireworks yet, we're feeling much better about Manchester United under Ruben Amorim.
In this extra episode, we've opened the floor to questions and you've delivered once again. So, whether it's the immediate future of midfield, reporting on the club as a fan, or the weather at AFCON, we cover plenty of ground.
Join us next Tuesday (11th November) at Soho Theatre in Walthamstow for TotD LIVE.

| 0:05.0 | Hello and welcome to Talk of the Devil's Extra. |
| 0:26.2 | It's November somehow already, maybe because the months have passed in 2025, |
| 0:32.3 | but it feels like it's gone quick, doesn't it? |
