Welcome back to a tough episode of Devils in the Box following a period of illness to our host! After the sheer trauma of that 10-man Newcastle defeat, I think we all need a little bit of escapism. So today, we are doing what Manchester United fans do best: blindly ignoring the present and obsessing over the future!

In this episode, Joe dives into the massive summer transfer rumours swirling around INEOS's war chest, including an €80m pursuit of Yan Diomande and a cheeky £??m swoop for Barca's Balde. Then, we talk about the kid who might save us millions: 15-year-old academy sensation JJ Gabriel. He’s already training with the first team, and the quotes from his teammates and coaches are absolutely mind-blowing. Finally, we break down the pressing need for a marquee centre-back and why Forest's Murillo is becoming a mainstay on the hitlist.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is 15 too young, or should JJ Gabriel get some first-team minutes next season? And who is your dream CB signing?

Welcome back to an unfortunate episode of Devils in the Box! Well, it was fun while it lasted. Michael Carrick’s unbeaten run has come to a screeching halt after a seriously frustrating 2-1 defeat to a 10-man Newcastle United at St James' Park.

In this episode, Joe tries to process the Newcastle reality check without hitting the panic button (we are still THIRD, people!). We also take aim at the exhausting negativity coming from the Class of '92—specifically Paul Scholes' hastily deleted Instagram story calling out Carrick. Finally, we push the noise aside to look at the massive decision facing INEOS this summer: Who should be the permanent manager of Manchester United? We dive into the stats and achievements of Michael Carrick, Julian Nagelsmann, Carlo Ancelotti, Luis Enrique, and Roberto De Zerbi.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments! Are you backing Carrick for the permanent job, or should INEOS bring in a heavyweight like Ancelotti or Enrique?

We actually did it! Manchester United are officially sitting in THIRD place after a massive 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace. Because why make it easy when you can give the fans a collective heart attack first?

Then, we look ahead to the quick midweek turnaround as United travel to St James' Park to face a battered, bruised, and exhausted Newcastle United side. Can we exploit their massive injury list and extend our Premier League unbeaten run to 12 games? We cover all the latest Carrington injury news—including updates on Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire—and preview exactly how to tame the Magpies.
