Manchester United season review, potential transfers and build-up to the Europa League
It's been a rollercoaster season for everyone associated with Manchester United. From languishing in the bottom half of the table in September/October to finishing 3rd. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff have done a commendable job to lift the spirits of a unit that looked all over the place at one point. Having said that, Ole will know there is a lot that needs to be worked on. United need to recruit well, improve their squad depth and also continue their great run post lockdown. Join our resident United boys Ritwik, Hrishikesh, Anirudh and Anubhav as they shed light on the United's recently completed Premier League campaign, the highs and the lows through the season and the areas that need improving. They also discuss potential transfers that could boost the squad and how the club should approach the Europa League. Happy listening!
