Superfan Doug asks the big one: should United cash in on Bruno Fernandes in January and clear out the deadwood? Ryan and Wozza debate who to build the rebuild around, preview Villa’s Moose Cup trip to Bournemouth, and dig into a Sack Watch that refuses to end: is United the biggest (and hardest) job in football, would the league’s top managers take it, was David Moyes really that bad, and is Carrick actually capable? Plus Howe vs. Nagelsmann, Ryan’s accidental FPL captaincy masterstroke, and Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or.

#ManUtd #AstonVilla #PremierLeague #CarabaoCup #FPL

The Unai-ssance strikes: Nicolas Jackson scores twice as Villa beat Man City 2-1 to end their perfect start (and Wozza’s unbeaten tracker). Meanwhile United are battered 3-0 at home by Bournemouth after Carrick drops Bruno, and somehow Carrick is still in the job. Ryan and Wozza debate whether Howe or Nagelsmann should be next, whether United is the hardest job in football, cash Friday’s tickets, and size up the title race after Liverpool beat Brighton and Spurs beat Chelsea. Plus Wozza’s old college coach is now coaching Harry Kane.
