Old Trafford was an absolute cauldron, and Manchester United are officially BACK in the Champions League! 🏆

In this euphoric episode of Devils in the Box, Joe reacts to a rollercoaster 3-2 victory over our fiercest rivals, Liverpool. We certainly didn't make it easy for ourselves—gifting the Scousers two goals with some sloppy play from the back—but Michael Carrick’s Reds showed a level of resilience we haven't seen in years, lets be honest under Ruben sadly we would have lost this kind of game.

We break down the pure chaos of the match, the relentless press orchestrated by Bruno Fernandes, and the cinematic Hollywood ending. Just days after signing his contract extension until 2031, Manchester's own Kobbie Mainoo stepped up to score the late winner and send the Stretford End into absolute bedlam.

What does this mean for the club? With a Top 4 spot mathematically locked in, we discuss how Champions League qualification unlocks the INEOS summer war chest. Finally, Joe hands out his matchday Player Ratings—including a top rank, for our generational midfielder.

Get Involved: What is your rating out of 10 for that Mainoo performance?

Special Note: After editing I realised Sir Alex was rushed to hospital during this game, we all wish Sir Alex a quick recovery and prayers are with him during this time. Hopefully the win will bring a smile to his face tonight.

The future is officially locked in. Today, Manchester United confirmed that Kobbie Mainoo has signed a massive contract extension, keeping our monumental talent at Old Trafford until 2031.

In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe celebrates the news that has every United fan smiling. We look back at Kobbie’s meteoric rise—from his senior debut against Charlton in 2023 to his historic winner in the 2024 FA Cup Final against Manchester City. With 73 Premier League appearances already under his belt at just 21, Kobbie isn't just a prospect anymore; he’s the foundation of the our next era.

But who helps him take the next step? We debate the four leading candidates to partner Kobbie in Michael Carrick’s midfield next season. Is it the physical dominance of Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni, the technical vision of Adam Wharton, the composure of Angelo Stiller, or the high-energy (but high-priced) Elliot Anderson?

Finally, we turn our attention to the biggest game on the calendar: Liverpool at Old Trafford. With both teams locked in a fierce battle for 3rd place, we break down the stakes. Liverpool have won three on the bounce and could leapfrog us with a win, but Carrick’s Reds are undefeated in their last two outings. We look at the head-to-head stats—including that legendary 4-3 FA Cup win—and ask if United can once again derail our rivals' momentum.

CONTROLLED CHAOS! 🔴 | Carrick’s Masterclass, Šeško’s Streak & The Rashford Loan Drama

It wasn’t an escape; it was a statement. In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe reacts to Manchester United's dominant 2-1 win over Brentford under the Monday night lights. We break down Michael Carrick’s tactics, including a devastating first-half performance. We talk Casemiro’s masterclass, Benjamin Šeško’s scoring streak, and how the team managed a professional defensive performance in the second half, despite Mathias Jensen’s unstoppable wonder-goal.

Then, we dive into the latest transfer news. Simon Stone reports that United are refusing to be held to ransom over Elliot Anderson—INEOS are reportedly drawing a hard line on overpaying. Plus, Florian Plettenberg reveals Barcelona are being "cheeky" by asking for a second loan for Marcus Rashford because they still can't afford his €30m release clause. Should United say yes, or demand the cash now?

Finally, we address the manager situation. With top targets like Tuchel and Nagelsmann locked into international deals, is the permanent job now officially Michael Carrick's to lose?

Get Involved:Check out the Q&A feature: On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you in Carrick being the permanent manager? Also, what is your score prediction for the next game?

Champions League football is nearly secured, and the INEOS revolution is about to hit second gear. In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe breaks down a summer roadmap that could transform Michael Carrick’s squad into genuine title contenders.

First up, the "Galactico" link. Reports are intensifying around Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni. With a 93% passing accuracy and elite defensive numbers this season, could he be the perfect bodyguard for Kobbie Mainoo? We analyze his stats and why the Frenchman could be missing piece of the United puzzle.

Then, we head to South America. Everyone is talking about 16-year-old Palmeiras sensation Eduardo Conceição. With United reportedly readying a €40m bid?!?! to beat City and Barca to his signature, we scout the "next Estêvão" and discuss where he fits in our ultra long-term vision.

Finally, we tackle the "Left-Back Curse." From the heartbreak of Harry Amass’s season-ending injury to the "one that got away," Álvaro Carreras, now shining at Real Madrid. Is Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly the answer to our defensive prayers?

Get Involved:Check out the Q&A feature below: Would you drop £80m+ on Tchouaméni, or are there better options?

They said we were in crisis. They said without Maguire and Martínez, Cole Palmer would have a field day. They were wrong...

In this special 20-minute reaction episode of Devils in the Box, Joe breaks down a season-concluding 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Against all odds—and with a defensive line held together by sheer will and academy grit—Michael Carrick’s Reds have taken a massive step toward securing Champions League football.

We look at the match-winner from Matheus Cunha and that "Portuguese Magnifico" assist that puts Bruno Fernandes on 18 for the season. He is now just two away from the all-time Premier League record. Is the debate over? Is he officially the Player of the Season?

Plus, we have to talk about the kids. With Leny Yoro a late withdrawal, Ayden Heaven stepped into the spotlight for his first start under Carrick and didn't look back. We analyse how a makeshift backline—including Noussair Mazraoui at center-half—kept a clean sheet in one of the toughest grounds United have been to in recent years.

Get Involved: Check out the Spotify Q&A below: On a scale of 1-10, how good was Ayden Heaven tonight? And can Bruno break the assist record (20) in the final five games?

The 24-day break ended in a nightmare, and now it feels like the officials have picked a side.

In this weeks episode of Devils in the Box, host Joe sifts through the wreckage of a historic (and highly controversial) home defeat to Leeds United. We break down how Michael Carrick’s men lost their grip on Old Trafford and why the post-match headlines are dominated by whistles rather than goals.

Then, we dive into the "War on United." From Amad’s denied penalty against Bournemouth to the baffling three-match ban handed to Lisandro Martínez for a "hair tug," we analyse the four major refereeing decisions that have decimated our squad. Is Harry Maguire’s extended ban for swearing a step too far, and why did VAR ignore the forearm smash on Leny Yoro?

Finally, we look ahead to a massive Saturday night showdown at Stamford Bridge. With our captain and vice-captain suspended and the defence in tatters, how does Carrick patch up the XI to protect our 3rd-place standing against Chelsea?

Get Involved:Check out the Spotify Q&A feature below: Was Lisandro’s red card the softest decision of the season? And who should start at Centre Back against Chelsea with our main men out?

In this weeks of Devils in the Box, host Joe breaks down Michael Carrick's decision to take a 25-man squad over to Dublin for an intensive four-day training camp. We look at who made the flight—including academy prospects Jim Thwaites and Ayden Heaven—and who was forced to stay behind in Manchester.

Then, we look ahead to the highly anticipated return to Premier League action. Under the Monday night lights at Old Trafford, it's a historic rivalry renewed as we welcome Leeds United. We preview the clash and discuss why a win is absolutely crucial to keeping our grip on 3rd place.

Finally, we look at the ridiculous statistical output of our captain. With 16 assists and 24 total goal contributions in the league, we ask the big question: Is Bruno Fernandes the undisputed Premier League Player of the Season?
