A controlled, dominant and exciting Manchester United display unravelled before our very eyes after a Casemiro sending off, and yet the result remained intact. Against the very opposition this side had gifted away a valuable two points less than a month ago, the Reds held out. A relentless display of grit and determination in trying circumstances. What had looked like a comfortable home victory against out-of-form lesser opposition instead now represents an impressive test of character. United the victors over Crystal Palace, and that belief thing, well, it keeps on growing.

You might have noticed we've not been releasing much over the last couple of weeks. Or you might not have noticed, it has been Christmas after all! Anyway, here's a very brief message from Harry Robinson to explain why we've been unable to record and when we're back. This isn't the Manchester Evening News, so no clickbait here... we'll be back on Wednesday 11 January after the League Cup quarter-final against Charlton Athletic. We can't wait!

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. On today's Manchester United Weekly Podcast, host Harry Robinson reviews an impressively comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The incessant drumming rain weighing down Old Trafford was hardly festive, but it's a second good win on the bounce since the return to club football. It’s a particularly tricky time to record a football podcast, because fixtures are relentless, and gaps in the schedule are very few, as well as time to find with family commitments, so it’s just Harry again this week, without regular co-host Jack Tait, with a brief review of the Forest victory, and some thoughts on Cody Gakpo’s transfer to Liverpool. In the background is noise from Old Trafford, from 20 minutes before kick-off through to Rashford and Martial's first-half goals, hopefully it can give those of you who can’t make it to games regularly a little taste of home.

Ah, the World Cup! It is the most brilliant event on the planet. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait revel in an excellent start for United's players, most notably Marcus Rashford, but Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Harry Maguire, too. They talk about fan culture of Australians, Americans, Argentinians, and other countries not beginning with A.
