The curtain falls on our home campaign at Old Trafford, and what an emotional afternoon of football against Nottingham Forest that saw us win 3-2 to guarantee 3rd place in the PL.In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe reacts to a entertaining final home victory of the season under Michael Carrick. While the three points cap off an incredible turnaround under the gaffer, the real headlines were written in the history books. We celebrate our captain, Bruno Fernandes, who has officially equalled the all-time Premier League single-season record for the most assists, joining Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne at the absolute summit of creative football.We also say a bittersweet goodbye to a modern-day titan. With news breaking that Casemiro will be leaving Manchester United this summer, we reflect on his massive impact, his serial-winner mentality, and the legacy he leaves behind in the heart of our midfield.But it wouldn't be a matchday without some punditry drama. We call out Gary Neville for his bizarrely toxic and overwhelmingly negative commentary on Sky Sports today. Why is an ex-captain spending 90 minutes constantly being so negative, were we not supposed to enjoy football Gary?

INEOS have officially made their move! The interim tag is gone (nearly), and Michael Carrick has been offered a permanent contract at Old Trafford (according to Fabrizio and Ornstein).In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe reacts to the breaking news out of Manchester. We break down the board's decision to reward Carrick before the season even concludes, analysing his incredible tactical turnaround that pulled us from 7th to a guaranteed 3rd-place finish. With Champions League football secured, we discuss how this massive announcement gives Carrick a position to tell the fans what his vision is for next season. Next, we bow down to the captain. Bruno Fernandes has completed a historic double, picking up both the PFA Player of the Year (voted by his peers & journalists) and United's Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award. But can he pull off the ultimate clean sweep and take home the official Premier League Player of the Season? We dive into why he has been the heartbeat of what a United player should be since Fergie left. Finally, we round out the episode with some casual transfer gossip.

After the high of slaying Liverpool at Old Trafford, Manchester United came crashing back to earth with a turgid 0-0 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. In this episode of Devils in the Box, Joe breaks down why a rotated United side looked completely toothless on Wearside.While Champions League football is already secured, this performance was a massive reality check. We give flowers to Senne Lammens, the "Belgian Wall," whose heroic saves against Noah Sadiki and Brian Brobbey were the only reason United escaped with a point. If it wasn't for Lammens, we'd be talking about a humiliating defeat. We also have the tough, honest conversation about Joshua Zirkzee. After another underwhelming start where he looked like a "square peg in a round hole," and with Italian clubs reportedly circling for a summer move, is it time to move the Dutchman on for the sake of his career? Joe argues that today proved INEOS cannot rest on their laurels—this squad depth is a major concern, and the "United Tax" era must end with some ruthless summer exits.Get Involved: Is it time to sell Zirkzee, or does he deserve one more season under Carrick?Drop your summer "priority list" in the comments.

Champions League football is secured, Old Trafford is bouncing again, and the mood around the club has completely shifted. But the biggest decision of the INEOS era is just days away: Is Michael Carrick the permanent answer?In this special deep-dive episode of Devils in the Box, Joe weighs up the pros and cons of handing the keys to the club legend. Since replacing Ruben Amorim in January 2026, Carrick has achieved the "impossible," taking a side drifting in 7th to a guaranteed Champions League spot with three games to spare. With a staggering record of 10 wins and 2 draws from his 14 league games, the stats are undeniable—but is he the man for the long-term project? We analyse the tactical maturity Carrick has shown, moving away from a back three to a fluid 4-2-3-1 that has revitalized the likes of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. We also discuss the overwhelming support from the dressing room, with Kobbie Mainoo and Matheus Cunha publicly stating they would "die for him" on the pitch. However, we don't shy away from the tough questions. We tackle the "Lack of Experience"—argument many of pundits have expressed—and ask if he can sustain this momentum over a grueling 38-game title charge. Plus, with Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola reportedly being monitored by the board, are United at risk of passing up a tactical "innovator" for a "club man"?

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.

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.
