    The NEVER ENDING Cycle at Manchester United | Another Rebuild, Same Problems

    Manchester United are stuck in the same never-ending cycle… but who is really to blame? 🔴 On this episode of The United Foundry Podcast, we reflect on another frustrating performance as United draw 1–1 with Tottenham, leaving fans questioning the players, the manager and the direction of the club. We discuss the growing apathy among supporters, the lack of intensity and identity on the pitch, and why the same problems seem to follow Manchester United from one manager to the next. Is it time to look beyond the dugout and ask bigger questions about the ownership, leadership and football structure? We also get into the wider controversy surrounding Manchester City and the impact it is having on the conversation around the Premier League, Bruno Fernandes' loyalty to United, and the difficult questions facing Michael Carrick as the pressure continues to build. With Atlético Madrid and Leeds on the horizon, where does Manchester United go from here?

    MAN CITY GUILTY: How Far Should The Premier League Go?

    Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League — so what happens next? Gaz and Callum react to the huge story, debate what punishment Manchester City could face and discuss whether relegation, expulsion, forced ownership changes and legal action from rival clubs could now follow. They also look at what the verdict means for City’s success over the last two decades, whether titles should be stripped, the potential consequences for players and sponsors, and why the fallout could extend far beyond the Etihad. Later, the conversation turns back to Manchester United as they discuss the latest fan protests against the Glazers and INEOS, sponsor boycotts and whether attempts to “empty Old Trafford” can realistically work.

    TEN-MAN CITY EXPOSED MAN UTD! Carrick, INEOS & That VAR Shocker

    Manchester United had the opportunity to take control of the Manchester derby against ten-man City — and somehow came away with even more questions. Gaz and Callum react to a hugely frustrating derby, including the controversial City goal and VAR decision, United's inability to break down ten men, Michael Carrick's substitutions, Marcus Rashford's performance and the mentality problems that continue to plague this team. But the problems go much deeper than one result. Was Carrick properly backed in the summer? Have INEOS left another Manchester United manager short? Is Project 2028 already looking unrealistic? And after another furious protest at Old Trafford, how much longer can supporters accept the way the club is being run? Plus, we look ahead to Brighton in the League Cup and ask just how much pressure United could be under if another poor result follows.

    Is it finally time to put Bruno Fernandes among Manchester United's modern legends?

    Man United HUMILIATED By Hull! Is Carrick Already Under Pressure?

    Manchester United's new Premier League season gets off to a nightmare start with a 2-0 defeat to Hull City. Gaz Drinkwater and Callum Stone react to a performance that immediately killed some of the optimism around the new campaign. Was the biggest problem tactics, personnel or simply a lack of effort?

Plus, the lads look ahead to Ipswich at Old Trafford, assess some of the other early Premier League results and pick out the teams they'd like Manchester United to face in the Champions League draw.
