Nathan Irvine and Mr Paul Cropper are back to cover an absolutely diabolical opening 45 minutes that saw Manchester United steamrolled by Leeds. There are question marks over Michael Carrick's tactical nous, having lost five in five to Daniel Farke (at Boro, too), and Manuel Ugarte's terrible record speaks for itself.

Cropper's Transfer Corner has some new names, including a midfielder who recently downed Arsenal. And we answer more of your questions in the Gummer's Mailbag.

All this and more in this week's Fergie's Gum.

Nathan Irvine and Mr Paul Cropper are back with a fresh new episode after a two-week, self-imposed international break.

On this week's episode, we look at the pros and cons of Michael Carrick as the long-term gaffer. We resurrect the fan favourite Underrated/Overrated feature with a true Marmite player from the past. Cropper's Transfer Corner is heavily influenced by left-backs, and there are more questions answered from Gummer's Mailbag.

All this and much more on the Manchester United podcast, our mums agree, is the second best they've ever heard.
