#944 | Ed and Dan break down United's 4-1 win at Molineux – a result shaped as much by Wolves' collapse as United's competence. They look at the tactical choices that set the tone, the patterns that still need work, and the individuals who shifted the game. There's detailed discussion of Bruno Fernandes' influence, Matheus Cunha's threat, and the ongoing debate about structures, roles, and whether this squad is being built on solid foundations or short-term patchwork.
The conversation also moves into wider themes: confidence, fragility, the value of giving academy players clear pathways, and what this performance means for United's European ambitions. The show closes with thoughts on squad planning and the next steps for Kobbie Mainoo as he navigates an already heavy spotlight.
