Whilst everyone else is tucking into the final chocolates and leftover turkey, Rio, Ste and Joel review Manchester United’s season so far. They analyse the biggest weakness of Amorim’s side and specifically praise the duo of Senne Lammens and Matthijs De Ligt.
When discussing the priorities for the January transfer window, Rio compares Kobbie Mainoo to Gerard Pique as the England midfielder searches for more game time and how Benjamin Sesko plays an integral role for the team which often goes un-noticed and underrated.
Ste and Rio make their predictions for the remainder of the season and there’s a debate around how successful Ruben Amorim has done relative to pre-season predictions and comparisons to the last campaign.
