Summary

Ian Irving is on great form, unlike last time, and the whole team are feeling pretty upbeat about Manchester United's prospects going into the new year.

Join us as we look back at twelve months that started so brightly, with Erik Ten Hag and his squad winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley, before subsiding badly going into the new season.

But, as we said, we are an optimistic lot, and we're expecting at least six points over Christmas, plenty of improvement from the men in 2024, and for newly crowned SPOTY Mary Earps to tell Arsenal what she told Jenni Hermoso after that penalty.
