Summary

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with club correspondent Laurie Whitwell and United We Stand Editor Andy Mitten.

It's been almost a week since the Atletico Madrid defeat, and the lads have been giving football a wide berth. But, we have nine leeague games to play and after wins for Arsenal and Spurs, United have a tough task on their hands if they are to qualify for next season's Champions League.

What will the squad look like after the summer, though? We consider who's had a good season, who is worth keeping on in the hope that they'll improve, and who should be encouraged to move on.
