They consider whether United are now in a genuine relegation battle and look at the challenges facing head coach Michael Carrick.
The pair also reflect on what it is like to have other managers linked with your job, following speculation surrounding Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage.
Elsewhere, Mick and Tony examine Manchester City’s defensive vulnerabilities, why Arsenal are currently a very different proposition at the back, and whether Brighton can realistically be considered title contenders.
Plus, they discuss how Everton manager David Moyes handled Jack Grealish, Scott Parker’s appointment at West Ham and the impressive form of Tony’s former club, Stoke City.
