Why Are Man Utd Conceding So Many Goals? A Look at the Defence w/ Adam Joseph

The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast

Show Notes

Scott Saunders and Adam Joseph look at a wholistic view of Man Utd's first three games of the season - in each of which they've conceded two goals - and discuss the reasons why they are shipping in so many.

Is it to do with the approach, the mentality, the confidence levels, instructions, or the transfer market? And how do they find solutions in the team to start improving?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
