Summary
Are Ruben Amorim’s days at Manchester United numbered after his insistence he’s there to “manage” the team not coach?
Clinton Morrison and Luke Edwards join Rick Edwards to discuss the unrest at Old Trafford and dissect the best of the weekend’s Premier League action.
Chelsea’s late equaliser against Manchester City means Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. They’re six points clear thanks to what Mikel Arteta called an “immense” performance from Declan Rice, his two goals helped them to a 3-2 win at Bournemouth.
Harrison Reed’s wonder strike may have denied Liverpool a win at Fulham but is Florian Wirtz’ goalscoring form the only bright spark for Arne Slot?
Plus, Wolves finally have their first win of the season, what does that mean for West Ham and Nuno Espirito Santo.
