Manchester is RED - Manchester United podcast

Steven Railston and Tyrone Marshall dissect Manchester United’s frustrating 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

After a chaotic travel day plagued by train cancellations at Euston, the away end delivered incredible support, but the team ultimately failed to reward them.

The lads break down a game of missed first-half opportunities, including Amad hitting the bar, and pinpoint the disastrous defensive errors that led to Morgan Rogers' goal.

The conversation turns to Lisandro Martinez's shocking red card for a reckless challenge on Cole Palmer, compounding what has been a deeply disappointing season for the defender.

With Michael Carrick delivering a concerning, short-worded post-match press conference, Steve and Ty discuss whether the manager is running out of time ahead of a must-win week.

Finally, they look ahead to the crucial upcoming clash against Roma, weighing the impact of Patrick Dorgu's return and Luke Shaw's ongoing injury woes.
