    We Lost at Villa… and I’m Still More Confident Than Before

    Manchester United leave Villa Park with nothing on the scoreboard, but once again the performance tells a more complicated story. In this episode, I react to the 2–1 defeat at Aston Villa — a game where United were arguably the better side for long spells, created the clearer chances, and still found a way to lose. I look at Bruno Fernandes’ injury and what it means in the short term, the growing sense that United are starting to look like a coherent team again, and why this performance — frustrating as the result was — gives me more reason for optimism than many recent wins have. Another defeat.  Another step forward.  And another reminder that progress doesn’t always arrive neatly on the results sheet.

    United Score Four, Defend Like It’s Optional | Bournemouth 4–4 United

    Manchester United finally looked like an attacking team again — quick combinations, runners everywhere, goals from different areas, and a sense of purpose that’s been missing for far too long. And somehow… they still didn’t win. In this episode, I break down the 4–4 draw at Old Trafford against Bournemouth — arguably United’s best attacking performance in years, undone by familiar defensive fragility, poor game management, and moments that felt depressingly predictable. We’ll talk about: Why this was the most coherent United attack in a long timeHow scoring four goals still wasn’t enoughDefensive chaos, concentration lapses, and structural issuesWhether this performance is a step forward or just another false dawnProgress, entertainment, and encouragement — all wrapped up in a result that leaves you wondering how on earth it ended level.

    United Battered Wolves 4–1… But Somehow Looked Rubbish Doing It

    United stuck four past Wolves on Monday night… and somehow still managed to look like they were trying to escape a hostage situation. In this episode, I break down the weirdest 4–1 win you’ll see all season: the sloppy build-up play, the moments of accidental brilliance, the players who dragged us through it, and the ones who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. We talk tactics, mentality, the good, the bad, and the very “Manchester United in 2025” chaos that somehow produced a comfortable scoreline. If you enjoy honest, slightly sarcastic MUFC therapy sessions, hit subscribe and join me for the weekly post-match autopsy.

    Podcast Returns

    Alright… welcome back — or welcome for the first time — to MUFC From A Distance, a Manchester United podcast for anyone who follows this club with a mixture of love, resignation, and the occasional urge to walk into the sea. I’m Paul and if you’ve seen my YouTube channel Red, White & Black, you’ll know the deal: I talk about United without pretending every minor story is ‘the biggest crisis in Premier League history’. This podcast is where we go a bit deeper. Proper football chat. Classic matches, player profiles, forgotten moments, and the sort of context you don’t get when everything online has to be either a meltdown or a miracle. We’ll look back at the stuff that shaped the club… and occasionally the stuff that broke us. There’ll be match reactions too, but I promise not to shout ‘Amorim OUT’ or ‘We’re winning the league’ every other week — unless United force me to, which let’s be honest, is always possible. Think of this as the calmer, more thoughtful corner of the fanbase — the place you come when you’re tired of the noise but still obsessed with this ridiculous football club. First full episode is on the way soon. If that sounds like your thing, hit follow, and we’ll get stuck into the beautiful chaos together — from a safe distance.
